Texas Tech Accelerated 2nd Degree Program 2021

Published

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?

Also you have to consider that a lot of people went to more than one school. So there may have been applicants who had a lot of transcripts just for one person. 

That’s crazy! I know they can’t tell us about how many applications. I was wondering if anyone found out how many interviews were offered?  It seems like there might be eight days worth of interviews between the first wave and second wave, I just forget how many interviews were offered each day. No reason I need to know, just curious! ?

According to @DeliriousMelody, they only offered two dates for second wave. So if that’s the case, there’s only a total of six days worth of interviews. That cuts it short by at least 30 slots.

Hey guys, finally got my stuff figured out with my transcript! I was wondering how you guys showed proof of enrollment if you're taking Pathophysiology through Portage learning?

I'm taking Pathophysiology through Portage learning currently too. If you go into your account there's a tab at the top that says "My Documents" and under "Transcripts" theres a link that says "Proof of Enrollment". I screen shot the POE and submitted that file.

Definitely. I had transcripts from 5 different schools, so I’m sure there were plenty of others with similar situations.

Has anyone received an email to from The Board of Nursing or any email to start doing your Criminal Background Check? I haven’t receive anything after my interview, & I don’t know if this is something that I just wait for them to send me the green light to go or do I have to do it on my own.

I opened up the attached folder in our interview email with instruction on how to sign up for a CBC, but everytime I put my SSN, it comes back invalid so I don’t know if my info has already been sent by TTUHSC to the Board of Nursing. I am kinda worried right now about it.

I am starting my Patho class there next week. How is it? Any tips?

Hey guys got my interview after getting my application sorted out!! I'm so excited! When sent the interview dates I was also only given an options for 2 dates, so I think they may be done conducting interviews? But, I am not entirely sure. Good luck to everyone interviewing next week!! Hope we all get in!

Did anyone submit an essay that is more than 500 words?

My essay went a little more than that and I'm not sure how to shorten it up!! I just don't want to get penalized for going more than the requirement ? anyone can confirm if this is OK??

@missnica mine was close to 500. It was 498.

I had to make the decision of omitting some of the good parts of my essay, but overall I was satisfied on the outcome. I think I could express my reasoning on “Why I wanted to become a nurse” if there was no word limit. However, having a word limit also shows that you know how to follow direction & to adapt in any given situation.

I wouldn’t necessarily worry about exceeding the maximum word on your essay though. As long as you aced your interview, it all evens it out.

Hi everyone, I wanted to say hi and keep in touch as we wait to find out if we were accepted. How many of you ladies are applying for the DFW region? If we are accepted we should start a FB page for the cohort. 

Thankfully I’ve spend everyday at work and that has kept my head spinning (Texas Teacher here!) so I don’t think about the wait!
