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!
I have been checking my mail religiously, I was paranoid and checked it on Sunday lol. I think they are just sending letters right? Or will there be an email? Does anyone know?
I received an email on March 14, with an update about one of my prereqs. The email said,"Decision letters will be mailed or emailed at the mid-April ", that wording is a little confusing lol. I checked previous forums on all nurses for TCU fall and all of the applicants got notifications around the first week of April. I am so anxious it's killing me! lol I'm just wondering is they have mailed them already.
I wonder if they say mid April to keep people from emailing and calling because the will know before then??? People I work with who are current students said they found out first week of April!
I think they probably do list it as mid-April, so the applicants won't get too anxious. My mail already came for today and nothing. I live in Fort Worth about 10-15 minutes from TCU. I wonder if that makes a difference.
Okay, so I called and they said letters have not been sent out yet. The receptionist told me they will be sent out at the end of this week. Hopefully next week we will know!
