I was just wondering were there any others who were applying for Spring 2013. I was in nursing school many moons ago (2003 el centro), and have decided to take care of unfinished business. I'm super excited about the new points system. I actually hope to attend Northlake--we live in Coppell. I'll be taking HPRS 1204 this summer there as well. Is anyone else petitioning the five year limit on their science courses? I Have all the Science courses complete except HPRS so I'm petitioning since I majored in Biology (UTA). I'm also hoping they will take my Calculus I in lieu of college algerbra. Lots to do! Prayerful that God shows favor on us all!
I don't think so. I think with 24 you should be golden as well! We got this! And by the way, it's alright I keep checking the mailbox everyday as well!
24 was the highest they'd seen as of August 30th? That's awesome news! Did they tell you that when you called in - or do you trust your source? I'm sure there are higher now, as even just the few people on this post have higher than 24, but I would think that puts the rest of us who had just UNDER 24 in pretty good shape.
I had 23. I hope that's enough! I've heard so many different things about what the Maximum & minimum points are. I don't even know what to believe anymore. Only a little longer to wait! Hang on everyone! (:
When admissions said that they hadn't gone through every packet yet, so I'm sure there will be more with higher scores. She also said that 18/19 has a pretty good shot at getting in since they added the nine new classes and many students wouldn't have them completed... I think we are all getting in!!! In a perfect world of course
This is a random question, but I recently got an invitation to the kappa phi honor society. Is anyone in it? And was it worth paying the money? Any info would help!! Thanks!!
well based on my personal experience, if you love to travel around , help community and participate leadership activities, I would suggest you join the organization. Bc I've been a member of PTK since 2010 and they should have lots of scholarships for students. But since this semester they are cutting down budget, I dont know whether they change anything, obviously there wont be scholarships for next semester
At this point it seems like everyone has a shot and hey that's a good thing. But November the 1st or 2nd will tell the story. Got my shoulder pads ready to tackle the mail lady lol. If I get in I'll be purchasing my scrubs the next day and wearing them as Christmas pjs. Lol.
I recently discovered this thread and I'm excited about what I've read! I applied for Spring '13 with 24 points. I was pleasantly surprised to see the change in the point system, otherwise I would have waited until Fall '13 to apply. You can say that I'm in the middle of a mid-life crisis, aka career change, and the change in the process has benefited me.
I, however, am still concerned with the employability of future ADN's and I wish there was an option to "speed up" the process. I do realize there are BSN programs available, but I'm completing Micro and A&P 2 as I type. If I don't get in for Spring, I will be applying to TVCC, TWU, UTA, and El Centro again for the Fall.
I have SICKENING butterflies in my stomach reading all this. I thought I had 25 also:
5 pts - 3.9 GPA
4 pts - 17 support hours completed
9 pts - HESI (92.8 Cumulative)
7 pts - UTA BSN classes completed
So now I'm hoping I have all of the vaccinations/paperwork in order! I'm completeing the other 2 UTA BSN classes this semester (one is already finished) so if I don't get in, SURELY I will next semester?!
Kudos to ALL of us for making it THIS far! Peace be with you all while we finish the wait!!
