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!
LOL I've been thinking about little tricks to see my results. I was thinking of calling the office of admissions and asking about my account and see what they say! lol
I might just wait for a letter or an email, I don't want to mess with something I am not supposed to and get in trouble! LOL I did set up my myTCU account. That didn't give me any information either. The suspense is killing me.
What program did they apply for syd17_, traditional or accelerated?
Hi rosedlc_ they applied for the accelerated program and received notification through email (the one they put in NursingCAS). The suspense is also KILLING me!! I'm thinking if I don't hear anything by this Friday the 7th I will call just to check the status of my app.
Oh okay Thank you! That's probably why. The students that apply for the accelerated program usually get their notifications first. Our letters should be coming in the following week. That's the way it looks on the forums in the past since 2014. I've read through all of them trying to calculate the letters arrival date and acceptance rate for this year LOL.
Do you guys know how many applicants for the traditional program applied this year?
