Texas Tech-Accelerated BSN Spring 2020

[kantwine]

I haven't seen a thread for those of us applying May 1st to the January 2020 cohort. I'm wondering how heavily they weigh the TEAS. Also, I have heard as long as you meet all criteria they typically give you an interview. Has anyone else heard this? I really like how they take a holistic approach to grant admissions. I'm wanting to apply to UTA but I feel like the main way you get extra points is by attending school there which I did not do! We'll see!

Yeah that is why I am confused as to why I was offered so little.. I am wondering if that is the case for all of us. I am not married and considered a dependent. However, I do have fair credit score and open accounts with Wells Fargo. I guess I'll still give it a try and see if I qualify and also try to apply for scholarships.

oh okay.. I have been looking into that as well because I have Wells Fargo but I am scared I won't qualify since I am not working full time. What is the limit for regular loan options with a first degree? I borrowed less than 10,000 for my first degree so I did not think it would impact my offer for my second degree. I went to the webtech and under the student tab there is a financial aid link and once you've clicked on it it gives you the option to view/accept your financial aid award.

I meant that its under MyTech tab, sorry not the student tab

Hey, I am so confused. Where are you finding the MyTech tab? I have clicked on the account info they sent last week to set up our account and I don’t see anything in there. Is it a different website?

This is the site I am talking about..

Does anyone know exactly how much the program will cost for just the tuition? With the aid award it calculated 8k but that is low compared to what I have previously calculated.

From the "Personal Monthly Budget Worksheet 2018.pdf" that was included in the Virtual Interview Folder emailed by Cindy:

The upfront cost of your education for tuition, fees and books will average $9552 each semester.

Any of ya'll here part of the VBSN program or have done the VBSN program in the past? I am considering doing the CAP testing here in January for the Spring 2020 cohort. Any suggestions or tips that may be helpful? I want to at least attempt it.
