Texas State University Fall 2016

[CharlesK]

Hello everyone!! I know it may be a little early to start this thread for the Fall-16 Admissions into the SON @ TXST. The application Deadline is quickly approaching and I thought I'd start this. I am super nervous because I always hear that getting into nursing school is a difficult process. This will be my first time applying into any nursing school.

My Current Stats :

Overall GPA : 3.67

Science GPA : 3.61

I am taking my TEAS V in Jan a week before the application deadline. I know that is pushing it kind of close.

I haven't received that email yet, and I am hoping it is because my application was processed late. That would be due to me applying for the wrong semester -_-

Are you going to call or wait it out?

Personally, I'd hold off. The background check is obviously being sent out in phases, for whatever reason, and has nothing to do w/ admission status. Even if you don't get the background check email by the end of March, you'll still have plenty of time to get fingerprinted and receive the blue card (not due until July).

It could just be my personality, but I wouldn't want my name tied to asking why I hadn't received something when they are likely sending them out as fast as they can get them processed, kwim?

I considered not posting when I received mine, but I did to let folks know that they are being sent out in waves and aren't an indicator of admission/ non-admission.

I was just going to wait it out.. It is just hard not to think the worst... You know?

Hey y'all. I'm in the class of 2017 and just wanted to drop by to see if anyone has any questions...let me know if you do! You will (most likely) find out around 3-4pm on March 31st about their decision. Good luck to all of you! This is a great program and we'd love to have y'all :)

Hey everyone,

I am also in the class of 2017, just a few more weeks till you all find out. This is a really great program with a lot of people who are here to help you succeed. If any of you have any questions please don't be afraid to ask. Also, once you all find out, I would suggest creating a Texas state University S.O.N 2018 facebook page, it has been such a great tool to really get to know your class, and to help each other out throughout the semester. Good luck to everyone..

Hey y'all. I'm in the class of 2017 and just wanted to drop by to see if anyone has any questions...let me know if you do!

I'd love to hear more about the schedule for the first & second semesters (actual time in class/ on site).

[Smm183]

It is hard to say, it changes due to the scheduling of the hospital. Last semester we had one day off, 3 days of classes and 1 day of sim lab/clinical mainly sim lab. This semester we have 3 days of classes and 2 days of sim lab/ clinical, mainly clinical. You should be able to look up the classes for fall 2016 to see the days and times.

Hey guys! I also applied for this fall. All that I have left as far as prereq's go is Spanish II. I'm considering taking the CLEP for it though, so I wanted to see if anybody has done or is going to do the same thing? Good luck to all of you!

[yankintejas]

Do y'all think it'll be the end of this week or next?

[steffibaum1122]

From what I saw on previous threads, they should be sending out an email on the 31st between 3-4 pm. I really hope they decide to let us know sooner though. This wait is unbearable!

Are there any weekend classes? I currently work weekends, and would love to continue part time at my job on the weekends, but am nervous about ending up with classes or clinicals on on those days.
