    UTA Spring 2012

    katybusymom replied to Mochachild's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    You're right. We will both be about 6 months shy of the deadline if they don't grandfather in the students that are already in the program. I haven't looked into it as much as you, so I'm really not...

    UTA Spring 2012

    katybusymom replied to Mochachild's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    UTA Spring 2012

    katybusymom replied to Mochachild's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    Houston just opened a new nursing school and it costs about 50K to 70K for a BSN, which is RIDICULOUS considering that the school is private (for-profit), and the credits probably WILL NOT transfer to...

    UTHSC (Houston) Spring

    katybusymom replied to katybusymom's topic in Texas Nursing

    Yay!! I'm so excited not to be alone in my journey. @Mocachild, you're right, every school has their own way of figuring out our GPA's and it's VERY irritating, but for the sake of this thread, I...

    UTA Spring 2012

    katybusymom replied to Mochachild's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I just took Micro from UTA. It's a really TOUGH class. I got an A, but it was NOT easy. The tests are very hard, the final was incredibly hard. I have no idea if there will be a curve or not. I'm...

    Lonestar Spring 2012 Hopefuls

    katybusymom replied to rayneonme's topic in Texas Nursing

    I don't know what the exact cut-off was, but from reading past posts, I think it was very high. I didn't see anyone under 11.6 points that got in at Cy-Fair, but that's just my observation, not fact....
