TWU fall 2023 applicants

Published

Hi everyone! I am hoping to get a thread started for future Texas Woman’s University nursing students. I have been finishing up my pre requisites and planning to apply for fall nights and weekends. I would love to hear from other potential nursing students hoping to get into the TWU fall 2023 cohort.

I have no idea. Im applying for Dallas as well and chose "no" for that option as im not intended to move, but I think they will consider you for dallas campus first to see if you can get in, then they will move to Houston campus. 

Now this is making me rethink my choices because I put yes ? I just found out about this site after I submitted my application. I hope it doesn't affect my admission.

Does anyone know which GPA they use to calculate program admission? Do they use the nursingcas cumulative GPA which includes all past coursework (no matter how old or if repeated) or the GPA that is on your current transcript? 

I just had my application verified and the cumulative GPA they calculated is pretty wildly different to my current GPA since it includes a past degree and I'm worried about that impacting my application consideration!

Yes agreed, I asked last week because same.  They said that they don't use that.  They use the "program materials GPA" and that weighs the most. That's the nursing pre reqs.  And then look at the required general pre reqs needed.  Hope that helps.

Have y'all submitted your background check?

 I just wanted to share this update in case it is relevant for anyone aside from me.  In regards to the GPA being lower due to a previous degree, the nursing adviser stated "since they are a post-bacc student, they will be fine." I am taking this to mean that even if the cumulative GPA is below what they want, they will not disqualify you for eligibility purposes and will somewhat ignore the past degree.

I did several weeks before submitting the NursingCas application. I think they only took around 48 hours for the results to come through.

Yeah don't worry about that, they just gonna look at the classes listed below, other courses won't be counted.

I just submitted mine today. I accidently used my personal email instead of the TWU one, is that okay? I already paid and everything.

I would think it is fine as long as you used the Dallas Campus code, but not 100% sure.

Transfer students. I have been trying to get ahold of someone at TWU to discuss my application and transcripts and have been having the hardest time. Were you all able to speak with an advisor? And how did get ahold of them? I have tried calling and emailing multiple times over the past couple months and have gotten no response.

Have you emailed oap is this about your undergrad application status? I talked to someone yesterday and they told me they were swamped trying to meet the nursing deadline.
