TCU nursing program

[andipoo4u]

Hey there!

I was wondering if anyone had some information on the TCU nursing program. I will be in the Air Force ROTC program and am applying for the fall of next year (2011). I was hoping some of the students who have been accepted for this upcoming fall could share some of their academic successes...GPA, HESI scores, prior experience, interview process, etc. Any information is helpful! I was also curious as to my chances of being accepted. I already have a Bachelors of Science in Psycholgy from a 4 year univeristy (graduating this summer) and my GPA for the classes listed on the TCU website as of now is a 3.5. I will however be missing two of the science prerequisites during the admissions process. Does anyone know if this is an issue? I am currently working on some of the science classes needed because the ones I took for my psychology degree were all for non-science majors. Whoops. Anyways, most universities allow for a couple hours to still be in-process. I'm hoping TCU is the same! Also, I'd just like to know how the program is! TCU is my number 1 pick so any information is appreciated! Thank youuu!

I'm just a hopeful student, but I do know that TCU looks at your cumulative GPA and not just the prereq GPA because I e-mailed someone at the nursing school about it. I was concerned about this because my grades freshman year were less than stellar (let's just say around 2.5) but I've been trying to turn myself around.

I'm planning on applying this winter for TCU's Traditional BSN Fall 2011 semester. Since I was concerned my low 3.something (at this point) would hinder me, the woman I spoke to said they do take upward trends, HESI A2 scores and volunteer experience into account as well. I'm hoping that's true!

And they do allow courses still in progress.

Good luck to you with applying as well! I hope we both get in. I'm taking my HESI A2 on the 19th.
