TWU Spring 2010

[goopsy]

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?

Good luck and I look forward to meeting you!

o ok thanks mau00! I just emailed the CAS academic advisor. She had emailed me on 9/21 (same day as the hold), but then she said she made a mistake and that I wasn't her student. I think she just forgot and put a hold on my account.

Theres an open house tommorow at the Houston campus!??! I thought the next one was on November 5th. That is the one I am probably going to.

yes there's an open house tomorrow. november 5th is a prospective nursing student seminar. i'm sure either would be beneficial. the only reason i'm going is so i can get a feel for the facility and the faculty

I see it too. It has the same dates as the dates that I applied to the school of nursing and turned my application in. I hope it's a good sign, and I hope that we all have one.

NP Goopsy!

Yeah I think I'm going to check out the open house on Nov 5th since we are still pretty much prospective students, to get a feel for the school and faculty as well! But by then we should have already gotten or just be getting our decision letters.Wow! It's so close guys!

[butterfly journey]

OK, now I'm getting anxious. I could use something to celebrate right now.

hey everyone! so i went to the twu open house in houston yesterday and talked to the assistant dean of the nursing school, she said she saw the applications or letters on someone's desk the other day and we should find out by the end of this month. she also said something very interesting about the HESI, and now i'm totally confused! i wanted to know how important the HESI score was when it came to the admissions decision so i asked her that, her response was something like as long as you have the minimum of 75 you're fine. so then i was like well you know i'm asking because i have around a 3.6 and i've heard thats considered low, but i got a score of 94 on my HESI, so will that help me at all. her response was no, and she said that the HESI can't help you. has anybody else heard anything like this?? it doesn't really seem to make any sense to me. there's no way they can judge you JUST on GPA, right?

I heard this somewhere else as well. I hope this is not the case, because I also have a gpa on the low side, and a high HESI score. The only thing I can think of is that this is the first semester they have used the HESI, so they don't plan to factor in the scores to a significant degree. This is NOT what I was told by my advisor, though. He acted like the HESI definitely counted for something, but he would not say how much. It could just be that passing is passing. Maybe they just use the HESI as a tiebreaker. Who knows. I am tired of wondering. I hope we get emails or letters by the end of this week. I am ready for this whole process to be over with already.
