Does each lab count as a separate grade when figuring the GPA? It would raise my GPA a lot if that was the case.

Yeah the lab grade counts as 1 credit and the lecture counts as 3 credits. My science classes were together so it was one grade and was a 4 credit class. So when you input in a GPA generator, make sure the lab grade is 1 credit ?

That's what I thought, probably GPA and TEAS still holds a lot of weight but not as much as before. And I heard Houston is less competitive than Dallas from some students

Yes on nursingcas website

Out of curiosity, what makes dallas more competitive? I assumed it would be houston because of the TMC but I'm not familiar with schools outside this area so I don't know much

I have no idea, Dallas campus is also surrounded by hospitals and research institutions. Cause my pre-nursing advisor said that based on the old spreadsheet, 40-50 is considered as competitive for Houston while for Dallas is 50-60

I missed that. Just submitted it now. Do you think that will negatively impact my status? Should I send an email to the school?

I think it is required for the program application so you definitely need to contact them asap

Has anyone received their eligibility email? I'm still waiting on mine.

I believe it should be sent on early March.

Do we need to submit background check results in NursingCAS? I didn't see that question?

Yes! It's under the questions tab I believe in the last section. I'd do that right now if you're able.

You're not submitting results anywhere, you just check off yes that you agree w their protocol when you submitted the nursing CAS application. TWU has access to castlebranch and views our results there when going through our application

I think you are right. We are required to submit the results after acceptance.

Do they send rejection letter too? just curious ??

Hello Everyone! About a week ago I got an email telling me my application cannot be considered because of a low individual score on my TEAS. I thought their approach was going to be more holistic considering my GPA is fairly good and I have a lot of experience. I've read a lot of threads here from past applicants and I think I got my hopes up since they said they got accepted with fairly low scores. It is expected since they said you needed a 64% and above. But good luck to everyone else! This thread was very helpful!

So when you placed the order on castle branch, once finished, the results are already there for TWU to see from their castle branch account. That's why they require we use our school email when making an account and placing the background order. We aren't sending the results anywhere ? and yea they do send rejections out as well! I am crossing my fingers for all of us.
