Yes, it is extremely early to begin talking about the Spring 2018 class, however, I thought it would be nice if we could all get together here and go through our pre-req/application/acceptance journey. It would be fun to lend support, chronicle our stresses and excitements and see how everything unfolds for us from now until the first day of class (assuming we get accepted).
I'll start:
I'm taking my pre-reqs at Lonestar (10 hrs for Spring, 14 hrs for Summer). I plan to take 18 hrs for Fall and will be testing out of 15 hrs via CLEP. I work PRN in a Critical Care unit at a major hospital. I will be taking the HESI in May; once Spring semester ends. Lastly, I have high hopes to be accepted into the Honors program once I am eligible to apply, since I have a deep interest in research.
I hope to hear from some of you! The application deadline is September 1 and there is a webinar info session at 10am tomorrow.
I took it at Lone Star, I did not use a school code and could pick which sections I wanted to take (all were available, including learning styles and personality profile). Also, it is cheaper to take at Lone Star but you have to pay Evolve $15 to send your transcript to each school, so it doesn't end up being cheaper.
Anybody know how many days typically between the "waves" of admissions notifications?? I'm dying over here.
Hi Everyone! I called the school and was told all acceptances went out already. New acceptances would go out ONLY if those accepted decline or fail to pay their deposit or they have more spaces available. Not the news I wanted to hear , yet I still remain hopeful. Congrats to those accepted & let's keep our head up for those waiting :)

To everyone who is missing a class: there are some regionally accredited online options such as Excelsior University and University of Phoenix. I know some of them are self-paced. I would double check with UTH before signing up for one.
I have a Bachelors of Science in another study as well if that holds any merit.
I'm really surprised I haven't heard anything from the school.
I started taking classes in Spring 2017 after deciding on a career change, and have made nothing but A's since then.
I don't think there is more I could have done this past year.

Don't feel bad. I decided to make the career change back in 2015 and first applied to a nursing program in the Fall of 2016. Like you I have made excellent grades, scored a 94+ on my HESI, and my GPA is comparable to yours. To this date I've been denied 11 times to various nursing schools. This semester I decided I needed to be open minded and apply to 9 different programs. So far I've been accepted to only 1 BSN program which is 4.5 hours away and an ADN program over 2 hours away. I will figure out a way to make it work even though I have a home, wife, and 2 kids that I may have to spend a good bit of time away from.
Shawn I completely understand where you're coming from. All we can do now is hope for the best & if we don't get accepted it wasn't our time. I'm devastated but there's nothing more I can do . Best of luck to everyone :)

What number did you call? Because I just called and they told me they have until 11/15 to tell everyone. I'm so confused and am pretty much freaking out.
