Summer 2018- UT Health Science center pacesetter BSN program

[Ambition20]

Hello Everyone,

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.

Being waitlisted STINKS!!!! I wonder if anyone has been accepted of the waitlist yet because it's over the 10 business days for the people who were accepted to make a decision or not

My cousin went to Uth in this same program and said they will have you do your immunizations and screenings with their contacts once you've been accepted. I don't want to spend the money twice if I don't have to you know??

Apparently they can let you know all the way up until 2 weeks to the start date of the summer (May 21). So deep breaths until then, I'm just as anxious as everyone!

Absolutely!! Thank you for the helpful information!! My nerves are getting really bad waiting /:

UTA is the opppsite. They gave us all the info and told us to be prepared in the event we are called off the wait list.

Hi guys! I haven't commented on this thread but I thought I would since a lot of yall are on the waitlist and anxious to hear. I was accepted on March 2 for summer 2018 and accepted admission. However I just found out that I got into UTMB for fall 2018! They are both great schools and honestly I don't know how I would choose if it weren't for the start dates. I am still in school at Texas A&M and I graduate with a BS in Allied Health in May, and I would have 10 days before classes start for UT Health. I've decided that having the summer to find roommates and figure out where I'm going to live and also financial aid/scholarships is a better choice for me overall. So there will be one more spot available for sure!

Congratulations for the acceptances and future graduation!

Hey guys! Quick question so I am looking to apply to the Spring 2019 BSN program. I am currently at Lonestar and I was up all night looking for a testing center to take my Hesi. Well unfortunately there were no open spots at Lonestar but I did see that I can take it at HBU even if I don't go there. So from so much excitement that I found an open spot I signed up but my confirmation email says I will be take the A2. As I went back to the UT website this morning it says first time test takers should do the A1 is it not the same? Will it be okay to take the A2 has anyone else had this problem?

It doesn't matter. I did the same thing and my hesi was accepted.

Thank you so much for your reply jmjdiv! :)

No problem. I have also heard them mention in the info session that if you have taken version 2 the first time, and if by any chance you want to repeat the hesi to improve your scores then you should take version 1.
