Hi! My name is Michelle and I just wanted to start a general thread for Texas A&M's Second Degree BSN program for Fall 2025 and get to know anyone else applying for this particular cohort 😊.
I submitted my NursingCAS application last week; but I know the application process is multi-tiered and was wondering if anyone has heard from the school regarding the ApplyTexas application or the interview invite yet? I didn't know if they wait until after the NursingCAS due date to begin the next steps, or if anyone has started the other parts of the application yet.

Hello! My name is Lauren! I applied for this semester as well! I have not heard anything back yet. What is the apply Texas application? I did the nursing cas application. Is this just another way to complete it?
nice to meet you Michele!
Hey Lauren, nice to meet you too! So, I only found out about this a few weeks ago also, but apparently the application is a 3-step process. The first step is submitting the NursingCAS application. Then, A&M is apparently supposed to email you a prompt to fill out a second application called ApplyTexas. Apparently it's required of all students who are not currently enrolled at A&M; so everyone applying to the second degree BSN has to fill it out (I think it's a general application to A&M and not to the nursing school specifically). Then, I guess once they look at those two applications and they're interested, the third step is that they'll send out individual invitations to complete the online interview. I hope we hear from them soon about the next steps!

I just got the email today about the ApplyTexas app with all the step-by-step info! I guess they're starting to move to the next steps since NursingCAS was due yesterday, so keep an eye out and look through all your emails! Good luck! I hope we get in!

I am keeping an eye out! When did you send in your NursingCas application? I have not received the Apply texas email and it's making me nervous! AHHH! Good luck to you as well.

I wouldn't worry, you'll get it! I submitted my NursingCAS app on January 6th, but I had applied to another program in early December so my application was already ready and verified by NursingCAS on the day my A&M app was submitted. I think that really sped up the process on my application. I was reading a thread from an A&M second degree BSN for the Spring 2025 start date and she gives a detailed breakdown of the timeline her application took to complete and for her to get accepted. She said their NursingCAS app was due like August 2nd and they got in contact with her like 2 weeks later notifying her that a part of her application was incomplete. She corrected that part and then they sent her the ApplyTexas email a couple days later. So I think it typically takes them a couple weeks to review an application before emailing about the next steps!
I bet you will be getting the email in the next coming days!

Hey Emma, great to hear from you! I completed my interview yesterday and got an email saying we should hear back from them in mid-March...so hopefully we'll all be receiving acceptance offers to the program soon!
Just completed my interview on Wednesday! I'm not sure I got an email like you did about the results coming back in mid-March, but I believe historically that's usually when it happens (first/second week.) The waiting game begins!

Hi everyone! hope the interviews went well. anyone receive an update yet on their application? I know the email after you submit your kira talent interviews said mid-March but saw last year's fall cohort received acceptance letters around March 9th.
Just got my acceptance letter today! I'm so excited!
