    Katy, I know what you mean. My bf said, the next time you even think about surfing allnurses, I want you to do 10 push-ups instead :icon_roll. I have spent hours on this site looking at other UTHSC...

    Yes, I know; 1600 people*! I was shocked. They didn't say what the avg science GPA was. I'm sorry I didn't ask. Katy, don't worry about your overall GPA. Your pre-req GPA and science GPA are the only...

    Rocket, from what I gathered from my UTMB graduate boyfriend (who asked his profs how that school chooses) and the info session today, GPA is the most important. HESI is too, but they made it very...
