If you have taken classes at HCC, then taking the English Composition and Sociology CLEP's directly at HCC are your best bet. They will post sooner to your transcript. But I would hurry up and...

You can take CLEP's for English and Sociology both. You don't need to take a minimester class at all. I wouldn't waste my time with Lonestar because they are not known for getting transcripts to UT...

Don't lose hope guys !!! People were pulled off the wait list up until the first week of class for Spring 2012. I know of at least 10 people that got in that were on the wait list. Work on getting...

Unfortunately, since you have lived out of Texas for the past two years, it looks like they will charge you out-of-state tuition. The person in our class had lived IN STATE for 11 months prior to the...

If you already live in Texas and have lived in Texas for over 1 year, then it should be pretty immediate. If you HAVE NOT lived in Texas for AT LEAST one full year, then you are going to be stuck...

Don't you remember last semester when we applied that EVERYONE had the same two holds? It was only when the holds increased that it meant they were accepted. I believe we all started with CPR and one...

Hi Guys,I'm SO excited that y'all are finding out that you got accepted. I remember being in your shoes. It was a painful process, but really worth it. Some of you may have read the previous thread...
When I found out that it was unlikely that I would get in at UTA, I started making a back-up plan. I fell hook, line and sinker for everything UTA told me about the AP BSN program. It was only after I...
When I first applied, my "salesperson" told me that Tx Children's was a partner hospital in Houston and totally sold me on the online aspect of the program. I was never told that I needed to work for...
I'm leaning heavily towards UT Health Science Center just based on the horror stories of people that are already in the program in Houston. But I would be happy to meet/talk to you about all of it....
@lena22, I have a 3.5 science gpa. I took all of my sciences at UTA. I had a 4.0 until Chemistry killed me:( My regular gpa is 3.73. I also got accepted at UT Health Science Center in Houston....

I was told by a former UTHSC student that the admissions committee looks at the CT section closely. It's broken down into five sections and you are scored on each section then the average of those...

I am visual/analytical and creative/people. I have no idea if that played a part in me getting in or not. I do know that I've worked myself to death trying to get into nursing school, just as many...
