i took patho as a requirement for UTMB at San Jacinto College.. why.. does that not count?! does it have to be at TWU?! o no.. im scared...
nursetobe12- AMEN!
No, it doesn't have to be for TWU, but it's an upperlevel bio course.. 4000 something. SJ doesn't go over 2000 level classes since it's a community college.

Nov is soo long from now!!! Does anyone know about how many students they take a semester?? I thought it was 50 but couldn't remember. Did everyone check blackboard to make sure their info was correct??

Used to be 60 but probably depends on the number of clinical instructors they have since it's capped at 10 students per clinical group.

You might want to make sure that the Patho. will transfer. I took Patho at UTA, but I am taking it this semester for TWU because it would not transfer which makes no sense to me at all, but that is beside the point I suppose.

Just double check because if it does not transfer you will have to take it once you get into the program or before is much better....trust me on that one.

Good Luck to everyone!

How can you tell if your transcript has been pulled?

Princess_WannaBe · Sep 26, 2008

Go to the pioneer portal and go to transcripts. They should have ur classes u need for the program listed and calculated ur gpa. If only I had a 3.8 then I would know for sure I was getting in

nursetobe12 · Sep 26, 2008

I have a lot of other classes listed on my transcript with a total gpa listed with my 80 credits.

Remember they take 80% GPA and 20% of your Net Score. I have a 3.71 gpa, but that doesn't necessarily mean I will get in either. My Reading Comprehension Score was 67 which is a good score. I have a friend that has a higher GPA, but a lower Net score and when you calculate that information my overall score is higher than hers so you never know.

What is your gpa or did you already tell me that?

Princess_WannaBe · Sep 26, 2008

Well I already have a degree so I guess they just pulled mine when I looked. I only have a 3.5 since I made a C in my undergrad but I'm currently retaking that class. I made a 80 on the reading. I doubt this will get me in this spring but as long as I make a A in that class I have a good chance of getting into the spring

Sorry I meant to say better chance in the fall:bow:

nursetobe12 · Sep 28, 2008

You still have a good chance of getting into the Spring as well because you have a higher score than I do with 80% of a 3.5 and 20% of your net which you scored an 80 so you could still get in as well. I have 80% of a 3.71 and 20% of 67.

Continue to be positive and work towards your goal!

Thanks I really need some encouragement

Hello Princess WannaBe

Any word on your end? None on my end as of yet! I am not for sure how the GPA and Net Score really work because I know they use 80% GPA and 20% NET, but I see people with higher gpa's and lower net and vice versa and really do not have a clue as to who gets in or not.

Does anyone have a clue how this works?

Thank you. :banghead:

No emails on my end either. I really wish they would go ahead and send out rejection letters. If they know they aren't going to pick me then go ahead and put me out of my misery already!!! I have no idea how they make their selections. You have nothing to worry about I'm sure you will get a packet in the mail.
