TWU Dallas BSN Spring 2015 Applicants

[RNinTime]

Hello TWU Dallas hopefuls! I did not see a board for the spring 2015 applicants, please let me know if there is one already. Deadline to apply for spring 2015 is September 1, 2014. If you are planning to apply to TWU Dallas, introduce yourself!

I will be finishing my prereqs for TWU at TCC and DCCC this summer. I am currently taking chemistry, lifespan growth and development, nutrition & federal government this semester. I'm taking Micro(summer 1) and retaking A&P 1(summer 2) for the summer. I have to retake A&P1 because it will be 6 years old when I apply(bummer).

This has been a long road for me; to actually be so close is exciting/nerve wrecking! I hope to find comfort in knowing others are going through it too. I was working as a registered medical assistant for an infertility clinic for 4 years and am now just a full-time student/mother/wife.

I'll be entering TWU as core complete from TCC, meaning I will not have to take the other math or woman's studies course.

I am taking patho this fall at the Denton campus. I am pretty disappointed I cannot take it online, online is reserved for RN's that are pursuing their BSN. But, I am happy they dropped the first attempt A preference! This does make GPA more competitive and the TEAS as well, but I think with this change, I will have a better chance! (Made a freaking 88 in statistics) I plan on taking the TEAS in July. This applicant pool has the option to take the TEAS more than once, which is nice if you are not happy with your score. Also, the score requirements have changed and you now have to make at least a 64 on all sections to be considered. We all now it has to be much higher to be competitive! (80+ is competitive from what I have gathered from other posts)

I will be applying with a 3.83 GPA if everything goes as planned.

I am considering TCU as well, but my first preference is TWU.:)

If you just got accepted to TWU Dallas, post your stats to ease those like me!

I look forward to meeting everyone! Introduce yourself and tell us how you are doing.

It is the 7 digit number and for the background check they were doing maintenance, it should be up by now, if not try a different browser

Does anyone have any insight to the different clinical sites? I much rather rank on merit or experience than location so I would love any information you have on the type of experience at any of the locations. Thank you so much for any help you can offer!

To those who are waiting, don't give up! Everyone on this forum received their letters the first week of October and here I am on October 31st with an acceptance letter. I checked this blog a hundreds of times and am glad I kept the faith!

Has anyone received any more correspondence about the immunizations needed? I had made an appointment to go to the dr tomorrow morning, however the last email that I received on Thursday said that we should receive a follow up email that would give us more information on the immunizations. I don't want to go to the dr if I don't know everything needed!

@katep

No, I haven't received an additional emails about immunization I hope we get it soon though. Have you been able to do the second background check??

[KP115]

@nikki4 I hope so too! I keep thinking that I haven't turned something in on time, even tho I have looked at the checklist a million times. The fast pass background check where we get our finger prints taken? I was able to get that done last week!

I came across this post and from someone who is on their way out from TWU, I just want to say congratulations! Relish in this excitement and ENJOY your free time while you have it! It's going to be a very crazy 2 years but lean on your peers and utilize your resources! Definitely get a UNITE mentor, too. I wish you all the best!
