TCU Fall 2017

[C_Schneider1010]

Hey Y'all!

I just applied for entrance into the Fall 2017 TCU BSN program. Looking for others who are in the same boat and maybe connect with hopeful future classmates! I attended one of the information sessions in which I was very surprised to hear them tell us NOT to retake any classes we have taken and passed with a C as they only want you to have a 2.5 or better. They said they look really hard at everyone as a person and not off your "book smarts" which I think is how admissions should work for something such as nursing. Little bit about myself I have been a PCT in the Harris ER for a year and a half, CNA license and NHA License as a Certified Electrocardiograph Technician. My GPA is a 2.65 not great, I know. However after this semester I will have completed ALL my BSN prerequisites classes.

My Hesi scores are:

Math 68

Grammar 74

Vocabulary 76

Reading 86

Anatomy 64

Biology 68

Chemistry 72

I'm hoping my personal statement, resume, ROM letters, and experience will help me get in!

Okay... yes you transferred to TCU however you ARE a TCU student now which y'all get first right into the program and find out first if you got in. So IT is updating portals today? Tomorrow?

[dan_22]

WOW ok, guess the portal isn't a great was to check on what's going on anymore.

[Kaleyrrraye]

OKAY!

This is what happened..

I called and got ahold of a lady that is quite high up in the department, idk how, but I did by a miracle.

I asked her about transfer students who have NEVER attended TCU before AND when we would get an answer for the traditional nursing program. She responded with...

Our IT department is very behind because we had a three day weekend. They have updated the system today for transfer students, though they have not sent out responses yet, they will today. Whether that be by email, portal, or mail, they go out today for transfer students. So more than likely we will start to find out tomorrow. If they send ours by mail it could take up to 5 days to hear from the school.

Its just a waiting game now...not that it hasn't always been.

[dan_22]

OH MY GOD. Hopefully no one gets an email. Just a beautiful acceptance packet.

I am so anxious it's insane. I'm falling behind on studying for this current semester because I'm so glued to this site and my portal!

Hopefully by the end of this week. Fingers crossed!!

[dan_22]

You're definitely not alone on that. DEFINITELY not.

[Kaleyrrraye]
