  1. Fall 2017:UT Health Science Center Houston

    HowdyHowdy replied to ashleyp453's topic in School, College Programs

    Absolutely! And I would also say, definitely apply, and keep applying. There is a place on the application where it asks about previous applications. If you don't get in the first time, keep applying....

  2. Fall 2017:UT Health Science Center Houston

    HowdyHowdy replied to ashleyp453's topic in School, College Programs

    Whatever you do, do NOT get discouraged. It's a long hard road to travel and there will be speed bumps and setbacks. It's just as much about the journey as it is about the destination. I had the same...

  3. Fall 2017:UT Health Science Center Houston

    HowdyHowdy replied to ashleyp453's topic in School, College Programs

    So I thought I'd post an update since I called and spoke with someone at the school today, and I also needed to update my application GPAs as I incorrectly calculated and posted them on the first...

  4. Fall 2017:UT Health Science Center Houston

    HowdyHowdy replied to ashleyp453's topic in School, College Programs

    I have seen the same thing posted; I believe it was in the Summer thread. Apparently their new process is that they rank everyone by HESI score, establish a cutoff, and then from there rank everyone...

  5. UTHSC Summer 2017

    HowdyHowdy replied to tay_rechea's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    See, this makes absolutely no sense to me. No consistency, anywhere in this process. It has been said in other threads, and by word of mouth from a former student that they do look at whether or not...

  6. UTHSC Summer 2017

    HowdyHowdy replied to tay_rechea's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I saw that as well, but as we all know, the methods to UTHSC's admissions process are as clear as mud. Even now that they have allegedly changed the admissions review process, as mentioned in an...

  7. UTHSC Summer 2017

    HowdyHowdy replied to tay_rechea's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are you currently enrolled in, or still missing prerequisites? If so, it will continue to say that. That is the case for me. That has been mentioned quite a bit on this site and was confirmed to me by...

  8. UTHSC Summer 2017

    HowdyHowdy replied to tay_rechea's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ask your friend for the secret passcode! Tell him to name his

  9. UTHSC Summer 2017

    HowdyHowdy replied to tay_rechea's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I called and left a message about 15 minutes ago for a call back. Also sent an email yesterday, and re-sent it today to a different email address. This must be what it feels like to be a clingy,...

  10. UTHSC Summer 2017

    HowdyHowdy replied to tay_rechea's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    These are great scores. As far as arrival time, mine too 7 days, Wednesday last week to Wednesday this week. I took my HESI under Lone Star's school code and had them sent via email. Emailed UTHSC...

  11. UTHSC Summer 2017

    HowdyHowdy replied to tay_rechea's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I genuinely wish I lived closer to UTMB. Its a 90 minute drive for

  12. UTHSC Summer 2017

    HowdyHowdy replied to tay_rechea's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I do not know about the deferrment, as Summer starts in May, you would probably be encouragedtoward the Fall start. But your stats are excellent; about as close to perfect as you can

  14. UTHSC Summer 2017

    HowdyHowdy replied to tay_rechea's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ok. So...how's about every chime in with the HESI score, since that seems to be where this application period is headed. Here's mine.... Math: 100 Vocab: 96 Grammar: 92 Reading: 92 AP: 88...

  15. UTHSC Summer 2017

    HowdyHowdy replied to tay_rechea's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Crazy is one way to describe it. Bass ackwards would be another. I mean I guess that makes some kind of sense, but where is the cutoff? I know that the hi/low and cutoff points will be based on how...

  16. UTHSC Summer 2017

    HowdyHowdy replied to tay_rechea's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Whoa. Pump the brakes. Can you clarify this? Basically they are going to get together and look at how everyones HESI scores rank, pick out theyre acceptable candidates and THEN start looking at GPAs...

  17. UTHSC Summer 2017

    HowdyHowdy replied to tay_rechea's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I requested mine be sent last Wednesday, the 4th, and literally just now got the email confirmation that they were sent. That is a week to process, plus shipping time, if you chose regular mail. Mine...

  18. Hate Pre Reqs=Hate Nursing school?

    HowdyHowdy replied to longwayup's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ok. This is a really great question that I'm surprised hasn't received more of a response. Allow me to opine. I am currently an LVN of 5 years, now working toward an RN and BSN, with hopes of getting...

  19. UTHSC Summer 2017

    HowdyHowdy replied to tay_rechea's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am almost positive that as long as you have your application submitted, and your scores and transcripts in PROGRESS on their way to the college, you should be good. I could be wrong, but from...

  20. UTHSC Summer 2017

    HowdyHowdy replied to tay_rechea's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As long as you have filed your application by the application deadline you should be ok. My HESI scores are still en route as well. I have only called once and it was 7135002106. There are several...

  21. UTHSC Summer 2017

    HowdyHowdy replied to tay_rechea's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello to all! So I decided to jump into the UTHSC pool for the Pacesetter program as well. I submitted my application for Summer about a week ago. I know the program, but wasn't very well-read on the...

  22. Fall 2017:UT Health Science Center Houston

    HowdyHowdy replied to ashleyp453's topic in School, College Programs

    I do not think it would have to be exactly a total of 5 hours. That would be difficult to achieve. Seems more like a minimum. But I too am wondering what classes would count toward this. One of the...

  23. Fall 2017:UT Health Science Center Houston

    HowdyHowdy replied to ashleyp453's topic in School, College Programs

    Hello to all! I have recently decided to take the plunge and apply for UTHealth's pacesetter program as well. Without drawing out the long story of how I arrived at my decision, I did so rather...

    There are two professors who run the the classes but the syllabus and material is the exact same. I got Professor Jerls; very nice, easy going

  25. Lone Star College Fall 2016 hopefulls?

    HowdyHowdy replied to jessicarnorot's topic in School, College Programs

    Online pharm with kingwood is a breeze. I took mine while taking A&P and didn't have any problems at all managing both with an "A". I wouldn't have a problem taking it online during the nursing...
