TWU Dallas BSN Spring 2015 Applicants

Nursing Students School Programs

Published

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.

Hello! My name is Maritza and I am also going to be applying for Spring 2015. Honestly my GPA is extremely low but I am going to retake some classes this summer. Hopefully I do well!

You'll get there! I retook my federal government class just to increase my GPA and it was so easy the second time around, idk how I got a C the first time. Honestly, online classes are the way to go at least for me, everything is there for you and you don't have to fight traffic everyday:) I hope I can get into Patho online this fall bc the commute will kill me! But we gotta do what we gotta do! Good luck to you!

Hello all,

My name is Jennifer and I will be applying for the Spring 2015 term! I will be finishing up my pre reqs in the summer! All I need is chemistry, micriobio, and nutrition. I will be taking those at tcc. If everything goes as planned, my stats aould be having a GPA of 3.7-3.8 with a previous bachelor's (getting my bachelor's in psychology) this week). I originally wanted to pursue grad school but after careful consideration, I feel nursing is a good fit :). I haven't taken my TEAS V, but I'm planning on making above 85%. I will be taking it in the beginning of June. I will update you guys on my stats as the deadline approaches!

Hey Jennifer! If you need some professor recommendations for TCC, just let me know! There's private messaging on here right? I had an AWESOME professor for chemistry and nutrition! I'm not sure if they are available for summers, but I doesn't hurt to check. Taking Mirco this summer online with lab at the campus. I'm super nervous about Micro only because I've heard mixed reviews. I guess it all depends on who is teaching. Yes, keep us posted!

I am taking Professor Dollar for Summer 1~ Have you heard of him? Is he easy?! And I am ALSO taking Micro online for Summer 2! The lab is at SE campus though. I wonder if we are in the same class! I am also nervous about Micro because science is a hard subject for me! Hopefully we do have the same class, so we can study together :). I will keep you guys posted definitely!

They don't do preference anymore. You don't have to worry about it.

The only preference they do now is if you hold a prior bachelors degree / or any sort of degree and if you went to TWU as an undergrad. That's what the front desk told me.

Anyone know why they changed the first attempt A preference?

I haven't heard about that professor, but I am at the northeast campus. Study groups are a must for micro so find a good one! Good luck!!

Hi there! I am wondering how long does it take for TWU to receive your TEAS scores. Only bc Aug 27th seems so close to the Sept 1 deadline, but if they send it automatically, by all means go for it! I am taking mine at the end of July, but if I wanted to retake due to my score, I was wondering if there would be enough time. Good luck and keep us posted!

Right! 32 or more hours at TWU, you will receive the TWU GPA bump. I'll be taking my first TWU class this fall, Patho eek!

Spring semester is officially over! Yay! Classes done: Chem, PE, nutrition, lifespan growth & development and federal government. I walked away with all A's!! I rearranged my schedule so I have A&P 1(retaking bc it's 6 years old) starting tomorrow and ending around 6/30 and Micro summer 2. If I can get through those, it's smooth sailing...better yet the calm before the storm! If you are wanting detailz on the whole nursing school process from a students point of view, take a look at Amber's blog, "This Nursing Journey." You'll have to go through the archives and it seems pretty backwards the way its set up, but I read the entire thing the other day! Very informative you guys, worth a google!
