Texas Women University FALL 2016

Published

Anyone applying to Texas Women University? I recently attended an information session and spoke to Ms.Victoria the nursing coordinator for TWU. What are your stats? What advice to you give when studying for the TEAS? I know you have to apply for TWU first then get accepted. Then you apply to TWU NURSING. But I am somewhat confused on that process. I went to the apply portal and it does not give me the option to apply for FAll of 2016. I may have to wait. Any current TWU students that can give me any advice on the application process. It will be of great help. Thank you!

Same here. I'm meeting with an advisor next week and I'm taking my HESI A2 April 27th. The last day to register for Fall 2016 at Commerce is May 17th. That's nice because it gives all of us another opportunity there. However, one of the prereqs is Philosophy and they said they won't take my Humanities class, so I'll be taking that one over the summer.

I'm taking it the same day! I guess I will see you there, lol! I plan on meeting with the nursing advisor the same day. I am currently taking Ethics because they also require that one be taken eventually before your BSN is awarded. They also require College Algebra, so I am currently taking that as well.

Yeah, it's a lot of stuff to get done. I also have to take those classes.

Alright, so I just finished my meeting with my nursing advisor and she filled me in with a lot of interesting information regarding this semester and the next.

• Dallas Fall 2016

135 accepted students (40 of which where guaranteed admittance due to honors courses. 5 of those students would not of had enough points to be accepted had they not been in the honor's program), 51.1 points was the lowest accepted student (semesters prior 43pts. was the average lowest). There was a total of 803 applicants across all 3 campuses. Only 1 student declined application and 1 student failed to respond. Unfortunately, no wait listed students are expected to be accepted this semester.

•Houston Fall 2016

Lowest accepted applicant had 35 points. 145 students were accepted this semester.

•Spring 2017

To to clear up on rumors, there are no extra points given to people who reapply. The deadline for the Spring semester is August 15th and you can expect the application to be available on NursingCAS around mid May. The advisor also expected acceptance letters to be sooner (around mid-September). The good news is that for those who applied this semester NursingCAS remembers all of your information and you don't need to resubmit a transcript or your personal information. There is a change in NursingCAS's program materials, so that will have to be filled out. Lastly, next semester TWU will only be looking at your Nursing Core GPA and will no longer look at your Prerequisite GPA.

(Last Spring there were only 16 honor's students, around 20 students who declined and the lowest accepted points was 41.7)

Heather Close also told me that they admitted 15 more people to Dallas than they had capacity for. Since only 2 opted out, they are currently 13 people over capacity. So yeah, it's not looking good for us waitlist people! I'm hoping since they're over capacity they just get more teachers to accompany the extra students, and maybe add a few more. Just a thought, but I really have no idea

Hi everyone,

I was accepted to TWU at the Houston campus. I told Heather that I would not be attending since I was also accepted to UTHSC and have opted to go there. So if you were waitlisted for Houston, hopefully your name will come up. Good luck to you all!

Wow I had 52 points without any bumps, I would be in if it wasn't for the guaranteed acceptance :cry:

This is so depressing idk if I should take a pointless 9 hours in the Summer and 12 in the Fall to have 72 points but that would be overkill, a waste of time, and a LOT of money. There will probably be less guaranteed acceptance people applying for spring and I know it's less competitive but I was so sure I would get in this Fall with a 4.0 and 88 teas.. and well, I was rejected.

What do you guys think?

I think this has all left a pretty bad taste in my mouth about the process they follow. There's no reason you shouldn't have been accepted, and there's no reason I should be sooo far down the list. I'm going to try for A&M. They don't give special preference for anything. It's all about grades and HESI scores... Like it should be.

Yeah me too! I had absolutely no idea there was guaranteed acceptance. Speaking in #2 waitlisted, I'd be in if it weren't for that. I'm not going to hate, though. It is what it is. And it sucks but there's nothing we can do...I'm just hoping maybe a miracle happens because there's no other place I'd rather be than TWU and I worked so hard and took 4 classes just for their school that I don't need for mine. I studied an entire month for the teas and got in the top 1% in the nation. I put so much time and effort and money into this and I'm just praying it works out...I'm happy for everyone who got in and even though I know some of us have better grades...it is what it is

Well, while this is all unfortunate for us, I for one am planning on taking advantage of the situation and (in the event I don't make Texas A&M Commerce in the fall) I plan to work the whole semester to save up for Spring nursing classes. Heather did mention that the average amount of students who apply in the spring is significantly lower and that the lowest score accepted is also much lower as well. Maybe with the amount of honor's students who applied this fall there will be much less applying in the spring. I mean think about it; what student, if guaranteed admittance, would wait a semester to apply for nursing school if they're ready in the fall? That would mean they were likely a semester behind for some reason and I don't see that being many honor's students. Sure it's undesirable to wait, but on the other hand (if we take advantage of the situation and work damage control) we could turn this loss into profit.

But someone posted they're changing it to where they just look at the Nursing Core GPA instead of the prereq GPA. If that's true, that messes me up because I have only one B and it was in a&p lab. I plan to apply for spring if this doesn't work out, but I'll still attend nursing school in the fall at my current school (it's 5 semesters vs 4 so I'm not losing much anyways...). Do yall think they're changing it to Nursing core GPA? I hope not :/

No, actually that's confirmed. They are changing it to nursing core only for sure. Unfortunately that jacks me up taking my 3.8 GPA and dropping it to a 3.65, but it'll probably be doing that with a lot of people.

Same here, I have 2 nursing core B's. My twu advisor told me to retake both B classes. I'm going to just retake one of them, and also retake the TEAS.
