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.
My portal also says "application denied". Best of luck to the rest of you guys that are waiting on a decision. I pray that y'all are accepted and become the best nurses that you can be :]
Last Friday I was reapplying for the Summer 2018 Session but I was having issues with the application so I emailed admissions about it. I got a call about a day later from the sweetest lady on earth! Hehe, she was one of the registrars for UT in general, not just UTSON. I was asking her about my transcript evaluation and trying to get some information out of her to see why I was denied. She said there was a strong pool of 4.0's this session and that of course they looked at HESI very heavily. I said, "But I retook A&P1 and got an A, did that not boost my GPA up?" Then she said, "Sweet heart the registrar that did your eval didn't even calculate your new grade into your GPA... they saw you were above the standard 3.0 and just pushed your application back to UTSON Admissions." So I retook an anatomy summer class for no reason haha but the good Lord has His reasons. She went on to recalculate my GPA for the Summer 18 application. She also said they do evals for everyone and UTSON is the one that sends them out, but apparently they don't.
