Texas A&M HSC-Any grads or current/prospective students?

U.S.A. Texas

Published

Hi Everyone, I wanted to post and see if any of you are grads or hopefuls of the Texas A&M program at college station, the Health Science Center? I am currently a student at LoneStar college and I've been looking into the associates program to transfer over to the the bachelors, but after doing the figures I can do the prereqs and the bachelors program in the same amount of time. So I wanted to know if anyone has any information or reviews about the health center branch of A&M in College Station? I wasn't even aware that they had a program for nursing other than the one in Prairie View. I am also interested in UT, but I think A&M is actually going to be a closer commute. Any advice out there on getting in? So far I have a 4.0 gpa, but I have about another 3 semesters of prereqs to get done, so I'm hoping to keep my gpa in the same ballpark. Thanks so much for your time.

Thats what I figured. I knew the reports had to go to them. The blue card, I think, was just for us to know what our record was!

Yeah I think you are right. I talked to a friend about their admissions and she said they release stuff in batches. like they send half of the acceptance letters out first with waitlists and then the other half with waitlists..... so we have hope!

They make no sense to me. Like the student data sheets....

Thanks Brandig07 for the information, I didn't know that!

As far as the admission process, that's very different, I wonder why they choose to do it like that. I figured that the student data sheets were for those accepted or waitlisted. Does anyone know of anyone who didn't get one? I wonder if the second group of people that are waitlisted or accepted will have different deadlines since they get their information at a later date?

Hey MrsAggie:

I contacted Texas A&M CC about that E-line program and it is very similar to UTA's except the clinicals are at the Med here in town! So that is something to think about since you're local. If I don't get in here at the HSC, I think I will apply to that too.

Brandig07-

You say that the clinicals are done here at the Med. Are you talking about the Med in College Station? If so, that would be perfect for me as I live here in C.S.

OKAY.... so just called CON AGAIN because AGAIN my letter did not arrive. The lady I spoke with told me that not all the letters have gone out, that it is a process and they are still processing the letters. Some have gone out, others haven't. She said it might be the second week of NOVEMBER before I hear anything, and at that point, I can worry about not getting anything in the mail. So, I guess - don't flip out totally. Its still ongoing!

Hey Amy:

According to the E-line adviser, the Med here in CS is a partner hospital for clinicals. They cannot alway guarantee where you will get, but she said she had not seen anyone have a problem. CC has an amazing program and it is almost identical to the UTA program, except you have a year to finish ONE course, but you can do it faster!

I live in South CS too, like 3 minutes away from the Med so it would be a good back up choice for me too!

I don't live that far from the Med either. I live south of there, off of Fitz Pkwy/Greens Prarie Road. I will have to look into the program. I know that El Centro used to have an online program but they now require that you do the clinicals in CC. I will definitely check into the TAMUCC program!

Thanks for all of the info!

No problem Amy! We live in the same area too (Hell we're probably neighbors!) so the TAMU E-line program seems to be good option for me if I get wait listed. The suspense is getting pretty old to tell you the truth!

Hey Everyone,

I recieved my waitlist letter as well about Saturday of last week...I just don't understand. I have a 3.6 Science GPA, 3.4 Overall GPA and 88% on my Hesi. I have been accepted to the 2yr program at TWU right in Houston which I heard from other students that it is a wonderful program. I recieved my bachelors of arts degree in Biology with a Chemistry and Spanish Minor. Does anyone seem to be in my same boat?

Does anyone have any information/stats on how their waitlist works? Like how many people they put on it and how many are accepted off of it? Wonder if we will find out after the first set of deadlines this Friday or later on after more offers are sent out...
