I didn't see a forum for those of us applying to the University of Houston - Sugar Land nursing program in the Spring of 2020, so I decided to start one. I have already submitted my application and completed my CPR certification, so now there's just the waiting. I've attached all the resources from the UH website that I could find, just for everyone's convenience.
I do have a few questions though: is anyone else having issues submitting the SSN release form? I get an error message every time I try, and I haven't heard back from the school about it yet (I emailed them asking if it had been received). Are y'all applying to other accelerated programs? If so- could you share which ones?
I was also wondering what kind of stats everyone who's applying has, or if anyone has any info about past applicants/students and the scores/extracurriculars that they had before acceptance. If anyone would be willing to share that info, it would be super appreciated!
I’ve been keeping a close eye on the comments but haven’t posted. I actually got an interview invitation with the first batch of people. I’m really excited for Friday!
@zk22 I would say a portfolio would be a good idea. :3
Is anyone bringing like a briefcase or any stuff with them to the interview?
As a student who has gone through the interview process, I would not recommend a briefcase as you will be in different activities through the day (different rooms) which involves a lot of walking and climbing stairs. I would take the least amount of stuff if possible. You don’t need to take resumes. Best of luck on Friday!

How did the interview go? Have any of y’all gotten gotten an acceptance email?
It went really well! I was nervous but everyone was nice and friendly and put me at ease. We had a FB group for interviewees and now a group for accepted applicants. I’m really looking forward to school starting ? I’m just a little stressed out over financial aid and paying for school. But I know it will all sort out. Just have to apply for as many scholarships as possible.
for future applicants-
i have a 3.89 post bac GPA, ~3.67 nursing pre req gpa, 92.7 TEAS, former degree from Texas A&M, currently work in research at a hospital, and have many hours of inpatient volunteering at two hospitals
