TCU Fall 2017

Nursing Students School Programs

Published

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!

No not at all, they will just check before you start in the fall that they where completed.

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

Haha this is so clever!!! Have you heard anything back? I know someone that received a denial letter Friday March, 31st.

Who said they were denied? Did the letter state a reason? Were denial letters sent separately? Now I am really panicking

A person that I work with was denied and I'm not sure the extent of the letter or if they were sent separately. I'm sorry!

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?

I wonder if they send denial letters via email or by the mail. I think it would make sense for them just to send an email as it is faster.

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?

Hi everyone. I applied for the traditional transfer program. The wait is killing meeee.

Do you guys know how many students they accept?

Hey Ohrange, the website said it tries to accommodate 72. I wonder if that fluctuates throughout each semester. I am unsure.
