I'm just now taking pre-reqs after very recently deciding that I wanted to be a nurse. I am very, very interested in attending UofT Houston's BSN program. I have not been able to find any info. on how competitive it is. Does anyone have any info. on GPA cut-off and how many they usually accept vs. how many apply? The info. on their website made it seem as if GPA is the most important factor in admission for them followed by how well you do on the interview. Any information you could offer would be appreciated greatly.
I had a 3.9 and didn't get accepted to UTHSC, but I got acccepted to TWU during the spring before I could start at UT, anyway. I had never set foot in a hospital and I've done just fine in my first semester at TWU. Highest grade in my clinical group and everything - even over students who had previous degrees and hospital experience.
Anyway, I guess it just depends on the person. My advice is to apply as many places as you can.
