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!
If you don’t mind me asking, what are yalls stats?
Overall GPA: 3.64
Prereq GPA: 3.68
TEAS: 92.7% Composite - Reading (89.4%), Math (100%), Science (91.5%), English (87.5%)
previous B.S. from Texas A&M, volunteer experience at two hospitals in the Texas Medical Center, work in research at a hospital in the medical center as well
I got an invite to the interview as well, I’ve been waiting to post until I saw if I was at least getting that far. Anyone know exactly what we should be bringing with us to the interview day?
Hey All! I made a Facebook Group. I'm not 100% sure on how they work, but I think if you find the group you can request entrance to it. If that doesn't work, shoot me a message on FB and I'll add you manually. ?https://www.facebook.com/groups/499372357530409/

Congratulations to everyone who has received an invitation so far! For those of you that are still waiting, I hope y'all hear something soon! Here are my stats:
Overall GPA: 3.5
Science GPA: 3.4
TEAS: 80
HESI: 88
I also have CNA experience and I had a 3.9 gpa in my upper level course work.
I got invited to interview day as well! Has anyone gotten confirmation on how many get interviews vs how many get accepted? Also if anyone wants to start a groupme or facebook page let me know, I'm sure we can all use the support!
Hi I’m currently in the nursing program. Most of the people that got interviewed were accepted to the program in my case. It’s more of a formality to meet the applicants. My cohort took their badge pictures during interview day.
Oh wow, that's a good sign!! Thanks for the insight.

I’m a current student. Try to interact with other nursing candidates. The professors are definitely watching if you have communication skills.
