TAMUCC Accelerated BSN Summer 2020

Hi, all! Just wanted to start a page for applicants for the ABSN program at TAMUCC for Summer 2020!

Hi, I got invited for an interview scheduled next week, but i am having final exams packed up next week or I asked to delay my interview until January. 

That's awesome! Congrats! How long after submitting your application did you hear back? I'm planning on submitting soon.

I submitted application on Nov 18 and heard back for the interview just last Tuesday. I actually got accepted to the program last year but I couldnt attend because of some personal reasons, so now I am reapplying. 

Hey guys, I am also applying to the ABSN program. What is everyones stats if you dont mind me asking?

I got all A's for prereq and GPA 3.56. Its not too great so don't worry too much. Your personal statement, in my opinion, plays more important role.

Those stats are great! How are they calculating GPA's? Is it based on your undergrad GPA or cumulative? Also I still have to take A&P 2 so I'm not sure how that will affect my application. I think I read somewhere that you don't have to have all pre-reqs completed by the time you apply as long as they are completed before the first day of class. Correct me if im wrong? 

Also is TAMUCC using +/- system when calculating our GPAs..

I did not ask them about that. My case is, I ruined my first two years of college so my cumulative GPA on NursingCas is 2.86. And after all the retakes, it shows 3.56 on my undergrad transcript. Thats what makes me think GPA is not a big factor, but personal statement is. And you are right that not all prereqs have to be done at the time you apply. I am personally taking Micro this upcoming Spring to fulfill.

Oh i see well congrats to you for scoring an interview! I am hoping to submit my app by latest next week. I'm still waiting to hear back from TAMUCC and being admitted into the school first. I just applied via apply texas yesterday so not sure how long the process takes.

Hi! 

Glad to see that there is a group started!  I just had my interview on Monday.  Has anyone else interviewed yet???
