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.

For those of you that got in, did any of you have an online lab for one of your sciences?

@crikephs did you ever get an answer to this?

All of my classes were online, my sciences were hybrid classes (class online lab in person). If your classes met the requirements they don't count them being online against you.

A few of mine are hybrid, but I was looking to take Chemistry in a winter mini and it is offered completely online, including the lab. However, this course requires to you purchase a lab kit to complete the labs at home, and then you really just submit your lab reports online similar to how you submit assignment for your lecture course when its offered online. My thing is, its the exact same accredited Chemistry course as the one I'm looking at at Houston Community College. The UT site doesn't say they don't accept online lab, infact it says the accept online courses as long as they are regionally accredited. I only heard about the "no online labs" because of a webinar, but if i never attended the webinar i would have never known! Im signed up to "retake" just the lab portion during spring just incase they tell me they won't accept the mini mester labs. But it is frustrating because i don't want to be automatically denied becuase of the online labs
