I am praying and whatever GOD has planned I cannot change. He will either close or open the door.

Waiting is miserable:no:

You get the email about the computer comps???

nursetobe12 · Oct 3, 2008

Yes I got the computer comp. email. Have you taken the exam or class? I am in the Air Force and my primary job is Information Management and Computer so I am having my Air Force College transcripts sent to TWU to see if I have to take class or exam.

Talk soon:smokin:

I already have a degree so it doesn't apply to me. But in my undergrad I took a basic computer class and we had to pass a computer comp our freshman yr

That is great no worry about that issue. If I have to take the exam I am fine with that, but I do not want to have to take a class that is for sure.

A classmate went and ask the Nursing Office about how the gpa and net scores determine the acceptance into the program and we both were alittle discouraged regarding the answer we received. She was told that answer could not be given. She asked the front desk lady and she went and ask someone else and she came back with that answer.

This waiting is so crazy.

Do you know of anyone else personally that has applied?

Princess_WannaBe · Oct 3, 2008

Well from all the info that I have gathered if you don't have a 3.7 or higher you can forget about getting in. Yes I know someone who has applied but she didn't get in and went to TWU for undergrad. She graduated from Tech a few yrs ago. Couldn't tell you her gpa

I have been through this waiting game before with UTA and ended up on the waiting list and of course I did not get a slot. It just seems like there should be a better way to go through this process.

For a little advice if for some reason you do not get in please do not give up and another please take Patho. before Nursing School. It is tons of information. First exam stats average 74. There were grades between 40-98 and only a two point curve due to the person that made the 98. We are still awaiting our grades.

I was taking Pharmacology and Algebra for UTA because I applied for their program again, but guess what I had to drop these two classes to concentrate on Patho. I was a mental wreck with all three classes. I pulled my application for Spring admission from UTA's pool. If I do not get into TWU I will concentrate on my last two classes for UTA next semester.

If I don't get in this spring there are tons of other bsn programs I will b applying too(like ten of them). I've been in school almost eight yrs straight ( four for my first degree n three for nursing prereqs) I refuse to take anymore classes after this semester. UTA won't be a option for me since I refuse to pay university tuition and I have loans and other bills to pay for right now which is why I'm working full time. There are tons of programs for me to take without patho and pharm so I will try to get into one of those plus TWU with my new gpa once I make this A in micro (it will get bumped up to a 3.7). So I won't give up. There is a girl in my micro class now already accepted into UTA she just has to finish AP II and micro

Sounds like you have a game plan and a good one! Keep in touch and let me know how things are going.

If you were applying to Spring 2009, then the NET had to be taken by 9/1...

txwave,

we were talking about the computer comp test they want you to have taken before you start the program. It's not a requirement but I guess they want to make sure you know how to use a computer well. Are you applying for the spring???
