UHV Second Degree BSN Spring 2014 Applicants

U.S.A. Texas

Published

Hi all, anybody out there applying for this program? I haven't seen an updated thread on it yet. I just finished applying to UHV- just waiting on NursingCAS to receive my final transcript for my application to be considered "complete" I'm also applying to UTHSCH UTHSCSA accelerated programs, and TWU-Houston traditional BSN program. I have my B.S. in Human Biology from UT Austin in Spring 2010. My undergrad GPA was definitely less than stellar, but all my pre-req coursework is not too bad. What is y'alls impression of this program?

Awesome! Those were all the ones I was considering...but application fees are EXPENSIVE and they add up! lol Also, I think you're competitive if you are able to apply to all of those. My cumulative GPA of all college coursework is like 2.847...I don't even meet the "minimum," however, I emailed the nursing people and asked if I should apply and they said it might be worth a shot if I did well on the TEAS. I ended up getting a 93.3% on that exam, so she said I should.

That is why I think they calculate their own averages. If they look at my "natural science" GPA that NursingCAS gives, it would not be hot. However, separate nursing pre-req and science courses, those GPAs are well above 3.5. So...we'll see.

P.S.- SO awesome if you got accepted to TT Austin/Round Rock....sending you good vibes! I loved my time at UT and wish I would have applied! However, the program was a little expensive for my budget after considering my outstanding debt from undergrad. ;(

Thank you apriljacklynn ! :) Every time I mention Austin to someone there is always a "yay! Austin!!" response lol

How interesting! I know, don't ask me how much I've spent on all of my applications :wideyed:

I guess I'll just wait and see :specs:

If you don't mind me asking @jennytmuw, what is your GPA and TEAS score?

just wondering because you got accepted to all of these great schools ^_^

Hi @dovecruz01 (: Oh no I've only been accepted to one. I've applied to 5 other schools. I got an 83% on my TEAS V and way below a 3.0 on my overall gpa from college, a ~3.2 prereq gpa and a ~3.8 on science prereqs. The schools that I've focused on are the ones that require a statement because that is where I can give them an idea of who I am and why I want to be a nurse so they won't judge me solely based on my scores :blink: . But there are some like UHV that may give some students like me a chance for an interview, maybe ;)

Ok guys, hopefully this is the week that we will hear some good news and find out that we are being invited to the interview!! :) Praying for us all!

Hi! I am curious to know if anyone's heard anything yet?

Nothing here! I was really hoping to hear something by now since they heard 10/30 last year...

Same here :/ hopefully tomorrow then!

I was so hopeful we would hear something today! I have literally been checking my e-mail every 15 seconds :) Oh well, hopefully tomorrow! Praying for all of us to get the interview invite!!

I read through previous years... They all found out in a three day span :/ I've been checking like crazy. I feel like the thread for this year
