I am preparing myself to apply for Summer 2018 pacesetter BSN program. We can use this forum for Summer 2018 applicants. I am in the process of taking Hesi exam. I have completed all my prerequisite courses needed for the program.
Little bit about me:
BS in Microbiology in 2005 -GPA (3.05)
MPH degree in Epidemiology in 2012-GPA (3.85)
Associate degree of Science in 2017-GPA (4.0)
Hesi test-will be taking it in August
Working full time with City Health department as an epidemiologist specialist since last five years. I am also a mom of two boys.
Got accepted to MUSC college of nursing program but declined it. Also got accepted to Johns Hopkins Entry into Masters of nursing program for Fall 2017 but had to deffer it to Fall 2018 due to financial circumstances.
Trying to apply for the in-state school due to affordable tuition as well as easy commute.
I really hope i can get into UT Health Science center pacesetter program as it's my first option as it's closest to me as well as it's affordable and one of the best programs in Texas.
Well that just shows how random their selection is. There really must be some other factor that we are not able to figure out. UTH's selection can not be random since they have a review process and is taking more than one round to identify all desired candidates. If it was random, they would send acceptance letters to all selected students at once. Just my $0.02
Or where did a lot of people see their transcript evaluation?
They do not send out out evals to everyone. That's also one of the random systems they have. I have been through many forums and some people get accepted without one and some people get denied without one too.
I've already accepted it due to the response deadline and paid a $500 non-refundable deposit. That's why I was like crap, I might as well just go with the other school and get my life situated there lol.
First of all, major congratulations to all of those who've gotten in! It's a really special thing, and you have a lot to be proud of!
Personally, I'm not letting my heart worry any more past tonight. (I've kinda already accepted/grieved not getting in yesterday) Ut Health was my dream because I want to work in oncology in the Med center. I spent 2-3 times a week for the better part of a year driving my Mom to cancer treatments at Baylor College of Medicine after she had an innovative surgery performed there (bladder removal with an outer Indiana pouch) and while she was involved in multiple studies. She passed away after around 9 months of that, and I knew then what I wanted to do and exactly the type of patient I wanted to be able to help, and I quit accounting school because of it.
I'm not gonna lie, I'm pretty devastated because I believe if I was going to get in, it would have already happened for me. I thought my stats were pretty competitive, gpa 3.9 prereq, 4.0 science, 96 Hesi, and I've got medical work experience as a certified pharmacy tech, but it just goes to show you that there are no guarantees in life! I'm older, (38), so I'm sure that weighed in on their decision.
It'll be okay, though, I just submitted my lonestar app with a scorecard of 7.84, so I should be able to get my first choice in location. It's just harder for my family, because instead of a 15 month program, it'll take another 2 years and I STILL won't have a bachelor's degree. My husband and kids are super supportive of me, but I know it's hard on them, and the longer it takes the harder it's going to be on them.
Either way, I've loved this forum and I'm truly happy for everyone that made it in. I have to believe that God has something in mind for me, and maybe UT HSC just didn't fit that picture!
Why don't you just call Ms. Mendoza or Ms. Carrozza? It would be better to make sure. If it was some random mistake from their part they will still have time to rectify it.
