I’m not sure if it’s too early to start this thread, but anyone on here planning on applying to Texas Tech’s Second Degree program in May?

Most schools typically take 1-2 months

They mentioned in a webinar that it would likely be August before they send interview invitations. She did mention on the webinar that they typically send out offers mid-September but that it may take longer this year due to COVID-19.

@allipalmer can you email forward the webinar to me?

@hgd921 the link I have was only to watch it live. I just tried to go to it again to see if there’s a recording, but it just says it’s expired. I think they typically record them but I don’t have a link. Sorry about that! If you email the advising contact on the school website, she can probably get you a link to the recording.

Thats OK! Thank you so much for your help!

Have any of y’all gotten your transcript evaluation back? And if so how long after they marked your transcripts as received did it take? Sorry I’m so nervous since most of my course work is out of state and I check my portal multiple times a day!

@keg2334, CNA I turned in my transcripts all on June 9th and the last one was received on July 8th and the transcript evaluation was done the day after. They will not do a transcript evaluation until all transcripts have been received from my understanding. Do not panic if they need something they will reach out. I saw on previous threads that some people did not receive a transcript evaluation but still received a interview. I'm thinking if you have good grades like A's and B's if you don't get one that means your fine or there missing something and I would reach out by sending them your transcript receipts.

that is great, Raven! You got your evaluation back already? That is great! Did anyone else? Now I am feeling a bit nervous since I haven't heard anything and all of my transcripts have been checked off.

[rraynes, CNA]

@Jenyg I also received my transcript evaluation on the 13th of July. Try not to worry I’m sure you will get one.

What exactly is transcripts evaluation? Can someone please explain?

Basically admission looks over your transcripts and calculate your cum GPA/prerequisite GPA.

It’s not a requirement. Some people don’t know how to calculate their gpas.

It’s not just the GPA. They also let you know which classes you’ve completed and which if any you still have to take. For people with out of state courses they just make sure you’re core complete and everything.
