TWU Houston Fall 2009

U.S.A. Texas

Published

I could not for the life of me find a thread for people who were going to be going to Houston in the fall, so here we go.

I was going out for the fast track 2009 in Dallas, got denied and put back in the fall applicant pool, then BAM:D, got hit with the shocker last night when I got home from work that I had been accepted to the regular BSN program in Houston.

I'm really excited to start a new chapter and I thought this would be a good way to meet other members of the class before we get there. So shout out where you're from and your background so we can all get to know each other before August!

(P.S.- I've also been accepted to the community college in my hometown, which is closer, cheaper, and probably going to be easier, but I think it would be borderline offensive to turn down such an awesome offer, let me know what you think)

Hi everyone!

I've missed so much!! I hope yall are doing great. I'm so excited to meet everyone, it's almost time! What are yall wearing to the orientation? And we are allowed to bring someone if I didn't mention that earlier.

Also, man I hope I get into the patho class as well!!

Specializes in NICU.

I think u should call and ask if u can bring someone. I'm wearing regular clpthes. I'm sure if we had to dress up they would have stated it in the letter

Specializes in SICU/CVICU.

true that, I figure I've spent maybe 95% of my life in jeans and a t-shirt...so I wouldn't want to front on you guys and be all fancy :)

Murse u r too sily!! I just really hope all of us who want to take the summer class can

Yeah you are allowed to bring someone, I called about 2 weeks ago.

Specializes in NICU.

Oh ok. I hope we can all find each other

princess, 14000 includes everything... loans, grants and scholarship and it is for a year not one semester...:)

Specializes in Emergency.

sorry to barge in again, but sophia if you had a 6000 efc how did you get any grants? i only had 4800 and i didnt get any. but now i have 0 so surely i should come out with something this year.

Specializes in NICU.

Ok I thought that was just what u got in the loans. I understand its for the whole yr

Yes...i got grants...like $250 per year....:)

i would say 97% of the amount I got are loans... both subsidized and unsubsidized.

Of course, Princess, we are study buddies. Can't wait to meet everyone.

As for the Loans, I have about 12000 in subsidized and unsubsidized loans. However, I got a scholarship for 4000 but i can only use 1000 each semester. I am just afraid I will will run out of money and have to apply for an emergancy loan. I really do not want to do that; but if I have to, I will.

Yes, we do not have to dress up. I called some time ago and they said jeans and a decent shirt is fine.

Eamaya, that's about the same as I got. I'm going to wear jeans and my be a blouse, nothing formal. Can't wait to meet you guys, i am so excited!
