TWU Fall 2020 Applicants

[kka081216]

Hey there. I plan on applying to TWUs N&W program in February for the Fall 2020 start. I just took my TEAS test today, my score was:

Overall: 85.3%

Reading: 87.2%

Math: 96.9%

Science: 74.5%

English: 83.3%

I'm not happy with my science score, but I also haven't taken A&P II or Chemistry yet, just A&P I. I plan on retaking the TEAS in December.

I have a 3.85 science core GPA (one B in A&P I) and 3.81 prereq GPA. that gives me a 45.56 admission score, which probably won't cut it. I can't retake A&P I in time, so my only hope is a higher TEAS score.

Who else is applying for Fall 2020? Are you applying to Houston, Dallas Traditional, or Dallas N&W?

Do we need Hepatitis A or not?

Yes, Hep A is listed as one of the required vaccinations. I did contact them to see if a IgG titer would be okay.

We take different versions of it as our "final exams"

As long as you start it now you will be fine to have the 3 dose series done before clinicals start. Kelsey Seybold offers the fast track 2 dose series that only take 2 months: get your first shot, wait 4 weeks, get second shot, wait 4 weeks and then get titers done.

Is this Heplisav B series? I figured out Kelsey Seybold is in houston. I live in Dallas right now.

Have we had a facebook group for fall 2020 yet? I submitted my acceptance form, and new transfer transcript, but have not seen them updated on my student account. Is it normal?
I don’t think I can have all the immunization requirements before May 1st, they cancel all my doctor appointment. Does it affect my enrollment?

[nurseliz in progress]

The FB group for Houston is TWU Houston Spring 2022

And as long as immunizations/titters are started by May1st and completed by August 24th I think you’ll be fine. Walgreens and Kelsey Seybold are both great places for accelerated vaccines and take insurance

Are we supposed to get anything else after accepting the gdoc? I accepted and I feel like something was supposed to happen like an email or something ?
