UT Houston (Fall 2014 applicants)

Published

Hello Future Nurses,

Wanted to know if anyone was preparing to take the Hesi a2, and or applying to UT Houston before the Jan. 15, 2014 deadline for Fall 2014???? I would like to form a study forum!!

I have received a course evaluation (and applied for Fall 2014). All it shows is which courses you took that count for pre-reqs, what your GPAs for pre-reqs, undergrad and science are and if you have any outstanding courses (which sounds like a good thing, but I mean courses you still have to take). I discovered they aren't taking my Credit By Exam for a History Class so hopefully I get in and will take a quick summer course at HCC.

Yes the transcript evaluation came via mail to my permanent address.

Just so everyone knows, I called and spoke with someone and they said that the latest we would hear something would be April 15th. It could be sooner though. It made me feel better to know that is the latest we would hear something.

Thanks so much, MedicNR!!! Phew that does feel better.

Which history course did you take a credit by exam? UTHealth takes credit by exam including AP exams and CLEP exams. If they aren't accepting it then you should call them and have them correct it because from the information session that I went to, they said they take all credit by exams as long as it's on a transcript. UTHealth is known for messing up transcript evals so you'd have to call them for any corrections.

Thank you! I will try!

Hello NaomiEngine, please can you tell us your stats and when did you turn in your application?

Still waiting to hear if I got in. But I did get a transcript eval, so if it's helpful here are my stats:

Applied: Jan 3, for Fall 2014

Previous Degree GPA: 3.6

Science GPA: 3.6

Pre-req GPA: 3.6 (At least they'll know I'm consistent!:)

HESI: 93, Critical Thinking 890

Always good to have a back up plan!
