Texas A&M University Second Degree BSN Fall 2025

Published

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.

For those who got accepted, have you looked at places to live yet?

I live right now door to the school and I walked to the info session I'm that close haha. I've been at the Aura 36Hundred apartments for a year now and will continue to stay here throughout the program bc my experience has been so great! there's several students that live here too. it's quiet, no breed restrictions and super pet friendly, affordable pricing, staff is great along with amenities. If you reach out to their office, mention Jax sent you bc you'll be one of my class mates 😆. It'll be a huge relief living so close due to traffic w/ clinical and I'll have literally no excuse for being late LOL

A year ago they had 1 bedrooms around $1200-1400. I'd suggest also checking out their sister property right next door (Aura 35Fifty) that's brand new as I took a tour this weekend and it's even cheaper with 10 weeks rent free promo right now. If you decide to call or take a tour, ask for Kelli and let her know Jax sent you. She'll take care great care of you and do her best to help you out!

Are y'all having trouble with your Howdy Portals or A&M email accounts?  I've tried setting them up but parts of the Howdy Portal aren't working correctly and it's saying I can't use my student email account...it won't even let me access it.

Sorry I am not sure since I already had an account :(, I would email nursing admissions to troubleshoot the problem.

Hi everyone, I got waitlisted, and I haven't heard anything yet. I was wondering, what is the deadline for to make a decision for those of y'all that got accepted already? I'm wondering if they will start going through the waitlist then. Also, does anyone know how long the waitlist might be?

yea, I had a 3.5 GPA and 92 on my HESI but like others have stated, the school really takes a holistic approach when it comes to reviewing applicants' background, grades, and interview submissions. 

Was the 3.5 GPA cumulative or just the nursing science GPA?
