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.
Praying for everybody as we can continue to wait and stress out!! This has been an emotional rollercoaster.
Thank you. It really is emotionally draining. And I'm still waiting for notification from 2 others! LOL. It WILL happen, just not always when we want it to.
In total at the time of applying I had 45 hours completed, currently finishing the last 15 hours. But I did do all 45 hours between spring 2017, summer 2017, and fall 2017. I took a heavy course load every semester.
I was talking to my professor and she said that may have been a part of the decision. Since I completed a lot in a short period it shows my work ethic. That is the only way I can justify me getting in, and others who had higher scores not getting in.
I was also put on the waitlist. This is so stressful. I wonder how many of us will be put off it & accepted. Good luck to you all. God does the things he does for reasons. I hope we all get in
I also retook A&P but because it passed the 5yr mark. I received an A the first time and the second time as well. My prerequisite GPA is 3.83 and my science GPA is 3.75 and I got a 94 in the HESI with 100 in Anatomy. So I really thought I would be accepted!
I took my a&p classes & most of my prerequisites over 7 years ago & I still got admitted. So i don't think it matters how long ago you took your classes.

Based on this I definitely lean towards the randomness of their selection and diversity.

I don't think the time has anything to do with it either! I just wish I knew exactly why I wasn't accepted so I knew what I should work on. Congrats to you!!!!! I'm sure you'll do awesome!
I am praying to our Lord Almighty I am wrong.

What if your portal hasn't changed at all? Does that mean a denial? Sorry I am just stressing out since I want this so badly.
