Is anyone out there applying to TWU for the Spring of 2010? Just thought that I would start a group for all of us hopefuls so we could share information and have a way to communicate with each other.
Have you taken your HESI A2 yet? Have you taken all of your pre-reqs? If not, what do you have left to take?
I have taken all of my pre-reqs, and I just took my HESI yesterday. I didn't think it was bad at all, but I prepared for it for about 3 weeks.
If you haven't noticed, TWU has made some slight changes that I think some people will not be happy with. They are taking into consideration the first grade made at pre-req attempts for several of the classes like A&P, micro, and another class. What do you think of this? I wonder how it will change the applicants chances of getting in?
[hi everyone! i have a question about the computer literacy exam/course :typing Does anyone know if we have a degree already, do we have to take that exam/course? or does everyone have to take it no matter what?]
Goopsy, I'm a post-bac student also and I don't know anything about a computer test and I've asked everyone at the advising office if I have everything covered. So my assumption is no, if you already have a degree (a post-baccalaurete student) then you don't have to take that test.
I will be getting the .4 bump once I finish this summer session. That should be enough hours to get me there.
that's great for you! I should have taken my stuff there at TWU, but I didn't have time to apply to the school and wait for acceptance before I started my pre-reqs. The day I realized I wanted to do nursing was the day before summer II started last summer. So, I basically had 1 day lol.
hi everyone! I was just thinking, I have not asked everyone here to which TWU they are applying to? I am for Dallas campus. What about you guys?
I'm applying to the Houston campus. I asked the same question a couple weeks ago and the consensus seemed to be mostly TWU Dallas. that .4 GPA booster will probably be the reason why i won't get accepted to TWU i think (not meaning to bash on people who took their prereqs at TWU) i just don't know how to compete with that... i hear that twu is strictly GPA + HESI A2 scores... did everyone else hear that also?

yes, i did hear that also. on the other hand, I have also heard there is more to it than just those 2 numbers. So, who knows? Personally, I beleieve it is just the HESI and GPA that they are looking at. I have heard that there is an equation that they use and plug those 2 numbers (GPA and HESI) into it. One time, I bravely called ***** at the Dallas campus and asked her if that was true lol, and she said yes, but we were not suppose to know that. I quickly said bye and hung up. Does anyone know about this equation? That would definately be helpful to know about. Someone on here also mentioned that the HESI was going to count for more than the NET used to. So whoever mentioned that might know.
Kimmy088, don't doubt yourself, although i know it is easy for me to doubt myself at times. We all go through that too, but then that just makes us feel worse about ourselves and that makes for a really long time to wait until October! So, don't feel bad pls. If you have done everything that you can possibly do, then that is your best, right? So many people on past boards doubted themselves, but they still got in. which is amazing. I am sure it will happen this time for us too! Is this the first time you are applying? Also, don't worry about your GPA not being good enough. As long as it is up there, 3.7 and above, I think you will be fine. I am not saying anyone who has below a 3.7 is not good enough; I am just being realistic and looking at past people who got in and what TWU said is competitive. Also, it is just the nature of how competitive nursing school is. It is sad when a 3.6 is considered "low".
I meant 3.7 and above for the Dallas campus. For the Houston campus, I think it will be lower like a 3.6 and maybe just even a 3.5 since they are taking more people this year because of the fast track going on there next summer. Statistically speaking, Houston has always been lower since TWU's main campus is in Denton, which is closer to Dallas.

I am applying for the Dallas campus also!
in addition to the previous post I made,

I am no pro, so anyone else's thoughts on this?
Yeah, I would have to agree with you. From past posts and such it seems that Houston usually has a lower GPA to get in. I think more people just want to go to Dallas because they already go to school in the area. Also, it's going to be much more difficult to get into Dallas this semester because there are less spots due to fast track! :-(

so there are less spots for Dallas? They are not taking 100?
i just don't know how to compete with that... i hear that twu is strictly GPA + HESI A2 scores... did everyone else hear that also?
