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!
What portal? I didn't receive any information about any online thing. They didn't send me an email and nothing in NursingCAS updated. The only thing I got was the acceptance letter if that helps!
so I was accepted into the accelerated program on March 31st but didn't find out until I checked my portal on April 5th. My packet came in the mail on April 5th also! So just a heads up I never received an email notification! Good luck traditional program!!
For anyone worried about their GPA: I got an email today about advising and they sent me a transfer credit report/advising report. And it looked like they calculated my GPA solely by the pre reqs they require (bumping my 2.9 to a 3.4) so that's something to keep in mind for anyone waiting on their acceptance
