update...

I have spoken to my counselor and she stated the following:

Typically students who get accepted have a GPA between a 3.5-3.7. Every Fall and Spring semester, 90-100 students get taken as a cohort to The Woodlands, Texas.

It doesn't say on their website, but most schools say only twice. I'm not sure if SHSU has a limit though

You are able to take it as many times as you want. SHSU will take the highest score.

I'm currently working on my hesi exam cos I'm also applying to lonestar and prairie view but Sam Houston is my first choice cos it's more manageable for me and my GPA is 3.76 I guess hopefully I get in I'm a transfer student from Lonestar so I don't have those extra points sam Houston students will get for taking Sam's classes no cna either and will probably be taking the teas around April after my hesi this month I will start studying for teas any tips to study please. And I pray we all get accepted thanks for creating this but the way????

I have a question what is the overall GPA and what is the prenursung gpa I'm confused

Can someone explain to me their point system for decisions? I am interested in the program and plan on going to an informational session in the next couple of months, but I was just curious if anyone could provide some insight.

Hi Justina,

I believe the Pre-Nursing GPA are only the pre-requisite courses by SHSU. Your overall or cumulative GPA counts for every class that you have taken so far.

Justina Benson · Feb 6, 2020

Thanks but what if some other classes I have taken so far doesn't have nothing to do with nursing will they still be counted ??
