TWU Spring 2010

[goopsy]

Is anyone out there applying to TWU for the Spring of 2010? Just thought that I would start a group for all of us hopefuls so we could share information and have a way to communicate with each other.

Have you taken your HESI A2 yet? Have you taken all of your pre-reqs? If not, what do you have left to take?

I have taken all of my pre-reqs, and I just took my HESI yesterday. I didn't think it was bad at all, but I prepared for it for about 3 weeks.

If you haven't noticed, TWU has made some slight changes that I think some people will not be happy with. They are taking into consideration the first grade made at pre-req attempts for several of the classes like A&P, micro, and another class. What do you think of this? I wonder how it will change the applicants chances of getting in?

Good luck and I look forward to meeting you!

The website says November.

I think the website used to say mid-November, but I just checked and could not find that anywhere. I also just looked at the Spring 2009 thread. Supposedly:

1. letters were mailed out on nov 3.

2. someone on there got an acceptance letter (thin envelope) in the mail on nov 4 to the Dallas campus. She had a 3.609 so with the .4 bump it was 4.0; NET was 64% for the reading comprehension.

3. Another acceptance letter on nov 4; GPA=3.9 and NET=81 for Dallas

4. someone else got a waitlisted email on nov 4. GPA=3.5 and NET=79 for Dallas and Houston

5. another person got a rejection letter on nov 5. GPA=3.7 and NET=67 for Dallas

6. acceptance letter on nov 5. GPA-3.93 and NET=70 for Dallas

I know there is more info about houston, but I havent read that far yet.

oh wow! They took that off the website? That's a good sign!

I didn't say anything because I didn't want to get anyone's hopes up. But, on Friday when I talked to my advisor they said they were going to really try hard to get the letters out in October.

[goopsy]

o wow; yah, i scanned through the website, but could not find anywhere for the life of me where it said mid-november, but i know it used to.

oh geez october would be GREAT! :)

november is way way WAY too late in my opinion seeing that we would start 2 months later.

[ser2011]

Yeah, I remember seeing that.

haha...now I'm getting really anxious...

I can't wait to find out that we all got in! :-D

If anyone gets emails from the College of Nursing, let us all know!

I've heard from the advising office that we will probably find out around the end of Oct., but that's just the word on the street. :)

[goopsy]

awesome! can't wait to find out! thanks for the heads up. I really hope that its October and not November. I will let yall know if I get an email so that you can watch out for one too!

[butterfly journey]

I'll do the same.

OK, I just FREAKED out!!!! I went to the mailbox and there was letter in there addressed to "my name" and Family from TWU. I almost had a heart attack. Yes, seriously for a split second I was like "THEY ALREADY DECIDED????" Then I had a reality check and realized that the deadline was just yesterday (even though I've had my app in for weeks) and they couldn't have made a decision already.

So I opened it up and found out it's an invitation to the National Society of Leadership and Success for making good grades. Wow, jokes on me. Shows how keyed up I am about getting that letter in the mail. BTW, how many times a day do you check you TWU email account to see if there's anything there? Don't ask, right? :)

[goopsy]

haha. too funny! I checked that darn email about ten times yesterday lol. I was waiting for someone to ask.

Goopsy and Elizabelle - OK, so where were you two sitting in class today? I was sitting on the right side 3 rows back on the aisle. You can pretty much pick me out 'cause I'm the one with the cream colored fleece jacket (either on my person or my chair) because I get soooo cold in those classrooms.

I really enjoyed the class today, although my goodness she sure can talk fast. I think it's going to be an interesting class. Glad to find out that she curves and that she gives reviews for each test.

She did go very quickly! I was sitting on the left side, facing the front. I was about 5 rows back. I have pretty short reddish hair. I have a gray hoodie that I bring with me because I get cold too! I also bring my laptop, a white Macbook. Please come say hi next class! I was looking around trying to figure out who you guys could be, but couldn't figure out a good way to tell other than saying loudly "Goopsy? Butterfly Journey??? Where are you guys??!" and that just would have been silly. :)

On another note - I also got the feeling that letters would go out earlier than normal when I went in for my last advising appt. That would be super awesome. Hopefully it's good news, because my birthday is 11/06, and it would be great to celebrate getting in along with my birthday!!!

Have a great long weekend, everyone!
