I love using e-books. I didn't use them first semester, but I wish I would have. Second semester I used them, and loved it. The only downfall is you can't sell them back, but you can rent the e-book.

I'm currently a UTHSCSA nursing student (now third semester). Here are some averages on the scores from those who were accepted: -Traditional (Spring 2012- start date): Accepted: 126, Pre-Req GPA: 3.39, Cumulative GPA: 3.33, TEAS V: 76.77 -Traditiona...

This page has been pretty quiet! A lot of us "upperclassmen" and/or Peer Advisors have been wondering about this. Anybody make a FB page? If so, just put the name here and we can probably help answer some questions for you or give a little bit of ins...

For the class of December 2013 (started Spring 2012) the average TEAS was 76.77. For the class of May 2014 (started this Fall) the average was 79.1. Accelerated class of May 2012-- 86.3 Accelerated class of May 2013-- 82.87 When it comes to the accel...

I think there is a waiting list. Yes, you need your pre-reqs. After that, then apply. After you apply, then they will send an invitation to take the TEAS. I believe to have a fighting chance to get in a 3.0 is the absolute minimum. A 3.5 would be mor...

Congrats to those of you who were accepted. For the end of the alphabet... don't fret! When I received my acceptance e-mail last year it wasn't until 5 or so in the afternoon. (My last name starts with "W". ) Also, (at least for us) there was a non-...

Usually there's 500-600 applicants for 140-ish available seats. My semester (currently first semester) there was only around 300. I've heard there was more for fall 2012 because of glitches from my semester. & us students are just on spring break...

*The e-mail was the admission letter, btw. So, you all should hopefully be hearing something soon.

Just looked through my e-mails and... Three weeks exactly, in an e-mail. :) We didn't have "as many" applicants, so I don't know if that may affect the amount of time or not.

I would start now just in case. I believe there's a Hep A/Hep B combo that takes a shorter amount of time. They will work with you, BUT you wouldn't be able to register until all of your immunizations are done with. The meningitis one too... and the ...

For me, the only really difficult course is Pharmacotherapeutics. What I've already noticed that when you get to the drugs, you have to understand the basics in order to understand the rest. It'll end up snowballing at the end if you don't "get" it f...

No problem. I'm glad to help. :) If y'all have anymore questions feel free to ask. :)

@LiveLaughLoveLearn: I was born & raised in SA so I don't really know how it correlates to Dallas. But from what I've heard from some of my classmates, housing is pretty affordable. I would suggest, once admission notices are sent out, that your ...

My advice: Don't stress out. They'll try to scare you during orientation and/or the first couple of weeks of school... I suppose to prepare you for the worst just in case. But, really, don't worry. Yes, you'll be very busy. Yes, you'll have to study ...

I think my pre-req GPA was around a 3.6-3.7-ish. I'm not sure because my SAC cumulative/degree GPAs are different and it doesn't include all of the classes. My TEAS score was kind of low though. I think it was a 80 or so total. (Sorry, it's so long a...

Thank you & good luck to you all! I know the waiting game is a killer... It's worth it in the end though. Yes, there's a choice between a 13" or 15" Macbook Pro, and a 14" or 15" Dell Latitude E6420. The 13" MBP was $1400-ish, the 15" MBP was $2...

Hi y'all. I'm a current first semester student and was just browsing through. :) For my semester we we told it was a substantial lower amount of applicants (300-ish) and 140 admission invitations were sent out, and there's now 127 of us undergrads. F...

Looking back at my e-mails, the supplemental app was due 9/19 and we got asked to send info for a Background Check 9/20 (which was quite weird) then on 10/10 we got our admission offers through e-mail. I've heard a really large array of scores from p...

@Texas51 No, you apply directly to UTHSCSA through NursingCAS. Yes, after a few weeks you'll get an invitation from UTHSCSA to take the TEAS. I'm not sure if it'll be the same for the next semesters, but for the Spring 12 they only took the scores fr...

Yeah. I know that. It's just for a single mom like me that only works part-time... it's hard to save money to pay for that especially when I have bills to pay. And I still haven't gotten the fin aid from Alamo Colleges for this semester, so that does...

So did everyone else get the info about the computers? I'm kind of lost as to how I'm going to come up with the money to pay for any of the computers we have to select from. (I mean come on... the "cheapest" is $1300. o__O) Especially because I just ...

I was also concerned when I read the info about the transcripts because I'm also at Alamo Colleges. I'm sure they'll work with us, but I hope Alamo Colleges will work with us too. I haven't exactly had the best experience with them thus far... On an...

I got in as well! Congrats to everyone! We did it!! & Just when I was about to lose my mind... Haha. I got the e-mail while I was at work around 5:30-ish (my last name starts with "W") when I randomly checked my phone and I literally jumped up an...

I've been checking to see if anyone's heard anything. But apparently no one has so LOL. I'm so tired of this waiting and not knowing. It's throwing my whole semester off for school. *sigh*

I'm pretty sure they know by now that Alamo Colleges takes a long while to get transcripts out. So, I would hope they'll be understanding from that standpoint. If all else fails, if it takes a long time for the transcripts to get there we can see if ...
