Is anyone applying to TTU Traditional BSN nursing program Fall of 2015?? I thought this would be a great place we could all come together and ask questions, answer questions, encourage each other, and stay up to date!!
Here are some questions to get going:
What campus are you applying to?
How many campuses can we apply to?
If you are applying for Fall 2015 have you completed all 57 credit hours?
Cumulative and science GPA? (If too personal, don't answer) :)
How many volunteer hours will you have?
Does anyone know about how many apply vs. get accepted?
Any tips, advice, or information you want to share with us scared future nurses?!
When is everyone scheduled to take the TEAS?
If you've taken the TEAS already, what did you think?!
**I want this to be a positive, helpful and encouraging thread for everyone!!**
I will definilty not do that then! Does everyone typically get the grey anatomy scrubs? those seem super expensive but I've heard a lot of tech students get them
I got 3 sets of the Urbane brand. Think they were about same price as the Greys but a more sporting look and soft soft material. Also got 2 lab coats that I have yet to wear lol.
You know what is funny tbippus is that I called yesterday as well and I got a totally different answer. Its frustrating :-( but I know all of us Im sure constantly calling up there is frustrating as well. They basically told me that all letters should have been sent out all ready, I then told her that I had not received anything (yes or no) and she said "oh well they will most likely finish going out Monday or Tuesday"..............hopefully soon
I've appled to the UT of Permian basin and just waiting to hear back from them. I kind of sent my application in a little late but the director said they were still waiting to fill spots. Congrats to all those that got in.
Hi I am new to this thread. I found out yesterday I did not get in to the Abilene location. I'm not sure why.. I have a 3.8 gpa, all A's and 1 B in the science courses. I was on the Dean's and President's list for my grades. Scored a 81% on my TEAS. My personal interview went good or so I thought. Does anyone know the chances of getting in if you've been rejected once. I don't want to bother applying to TTUHSC just to get rejected again.
I'd say you would have a good chance if you applied again. I have the exact same stats as you except I scored a 71% on my TEAS. I thought my interview went bad, but I applied and was accepted for the permian basin location and the Lubbock location secondary so that might make a difference
I GOT REJECTED! I got my denial letter yesterday. I thought I would get in after I saw some applicants who got in with a low GPA and teas score as low as 69. Simply the luck wasn't on my side. I have 3.912 over all GPA, 81.3 on Teas, and more than 250 hospital volunteer hrs but for some reason I don't understand I didn't impress them. May be I got rejected because I'm not from West Texas. They didn't even put me on the wait list. I wish I could know the demographic of their students. They keep everything secret. I have an accent but I still speak a good English. I'm foreigner but everybody was stranger once too. There are lots of dream killers in the US: your country of origin, skin color, gender, belief, economic status...u name it! Anyways I never let my head hang down. I never give up and sit and grieve. I fight till the last minute and breath. Because I still believe that nursing is my true calling. God has a reason for all that he does. He sometimes closes small doors to open the big and better ones. I never let my faith in God slip away cause of this small thing. I also believe that even when it doesn't look good, it works for the good to all those that are called according to his purpose. I STILL HAVE ONE CHANCE THO! I had my interview at the UTMB on march 13 th and I got a call last week and was told I was scheduled for the second interview on April 10th. I hope I will get in there. This is the only chance I have. Pls y'all keep your fingers crossed for me! Big congrats to those who were accepted! I have a message for those who got rejected: never give up on your dreams!!!
Thanks Ashunda45 your post was really inspiring. As much as I want to give up right now I know I worked way too hard to even let this rejection stop me. I don't think I will apply again to TTUHSC. It's a bummer on my part though because I didn't apply anywhere else so I just have to readjust my focus right now and figure out what I am going to do. I just feel like years are passing me by since I started my schooling late.. I am about to be 25 in a couple of weeks so I guess that's why I was so eager to try to get in at Tech. You're right though God does have a reason for all he does. As much as I planned going here God is in control of the steps and I can't force it. Thanks though and good luck getting in at the other school!
@oca2016...I feel ur pain cause I'm in the same boat like u. Never give up on ur dreams. Sometimes rejection is redirection. As I said God sometimes closes small doors to open the better ones! When I got my denial letter, I felt like the sky fell down over me. I couldn't help but broke down and cry like a baby. I gave it all I've got. There was really nothing more I can do. I called my dad who lives in Ethiopia and he told me to read Rome 8:28 and I got relief. Don't be limited by ur age. I'm 25 too and we are still young. Keep fighting and praying. God has much in store for you!!!
