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.

I'm sorry to here that, when did he get his letter, and if you don't mind me asking... what kind of grades and hesi grades does he have?! Did you go to the interviews for UTMB? I have one on Monday... I'm kind of nervous!

I'm sorry Hawkins about your husband not getting in. I know it disappointing but, Houston has a great program as well. I'm sure you are going to get in at UH-T or UTMB. I wouldn't worry about it.

Rach363-Don't worry about the interview. It was completely relaxed and informal. Go in there with confidence and just be yourself. Good luck to you.

LindsayPaige- Thanks! I have been readng that you get your response like two weeks after your interview so that is good! No wait time! Where else did you apply? And have you heard anything back from anywhere?

I applied to UT Houston, and a couple of my friends have and they haven't sent anything out except a form showing what classes I have taken... Who knows!?

I'm sorry to hear about your husband not getting into A&M. Did they tell him why? I know last semester I applied for the accelerated program and I was denied because my application was not complete. When I called A&M to ask why they told me that they had not received one of my transcripts. It turned out that one of the schools I attended sent my transcript to A&M University instead of HSC. Long story short, I was able to get back into the applicant pool and reconsidered for admission. I ended up on the waiting list for the accelerated program. Obviously no one dropped out and I reapplied for the generic term, but maybe your husband got denied for something similar. It may be too late in the game to try to get back in but you never know until you try (if it's something he really wants). Good luck with your interview!

He didn't apply for nursing, he applied at the main campus for construction management! They offered to reconsider if he did well this semester, but I'll have to choose a nursing school by then, and since he's already accepted at another school... not happening.

I have a few quick questions for those of you that have applied to A&M. How difficult would you say the admissions process is for their generic bachelor's program? The reason I ask is because my family and I live in the Lake Livingston area and I am looking to apply within the next year for the bachelor's program. Sam Houston State University is opening their program this year which will start in the Spring of 2011. From what I'm seeing the main differences are about an additional 6 pre req courses and you have to have a min 3.0 gpa vs A & M's 2.75. Sam Houston is a lot closer, but it would also mean me having to tack on an additional 2 semesters of courses vs being able to apply next year for A & M. I know both programs will be taking about the name number of students, so I'm just curious if there is a huge amount of applicants for these schools or if they are just extremely picky about who they take.

Thanks in advance!

I don't think anyone really knows how competitive the A&M program is because it is very new. I would recommend applying everywhere you possibly can! Always remember that summer school is your friend because you can complete several courses within a short amount of time. Good luck on your future endeavors!
