UT Cizik Pacesetter Program

[chereaindray]

Hi all, 

I am currently retaking many of my science classes to get an A. I received mostly B's for my classes but I transferred to a new institution so my GPA is at a fresh start of 4.0. I know they will see all grades but what are my chances to this program if I were to make all A's in my prerequisites? I will be doing volunteering and getting letters of recommendations as well. My first HESI, I made an 88% cumulative and plan on retaking it for the second time for a high A. I don't think I will get in the first attempt but I am determined to try twice. Any insight will help, thank you!

According to the presentation I attended earlier this year, UT Cizik will only consider the higher grade from classes retaken. They mentioned that a score of 85+ is competitive, but I don't know if this means 85 average only or 85 and above in all sections. An 88 is a good score in its own right. 

Recommendation letters are useful for other schools like PVA&M but they are not considered for pacesetter admissions. With all the applications the school receives, it's a matter having good luck as well. Wishing you the best!
