Congrats to all those who got accepted! I was waitlisted to both programs. I really was hoping to get accepted to the AO BSN program. To those that got accepted, by what date do you have to decide whether you accept or decline the offer?

Hi Everyone,

I applied to the AO BSN program at UTA to start Fall 2018 and I currently reside in Houston. I have an overall GPA of 3.6 and 4.0 in natural sciences and great scores on my TEAS. I got wait listed and I was wanting to see if anyone knows what the likelyhood of me actually getting a spot to start in Fall or how we rank when we apply again for Spring? Also does anyone know the partner hospitals here in Houston? Congratulations to all that have been accepted!!!

Congrats to all who got in :)

I was waitlisted (I only applied for the Online program, only with San Antonio for my site). My stats:

4.0 Science GPA

3.9 GPA

HESI 97% (Just adding in case anyone is reading who's applying for the next semester that you'll need to take the TEAS too -- I was advised before the change.)

Previous bachelor's degree

Previous master's degree

I know that this is not weighed in the application at all, but I have also worked in public health for 5 years, including for the World Health Organization.

I had already decided to go to another school when I heard back from UTA, so I'm not upset. I'm going to Johns Hopkins (#1 or #2 in the country depending on the year) on their biggest scholarship. I don't say that to brag, but to let people know that it is nearly IMPOSSIBLE IT IS TO GET INTO THIS UTA PROGRAM. This is not a knock against the advisors or professors in the UTA program (in fact, the advisors were always very kind and helpful, and I've heard great things about both the reputation of and actual education students got in the program). But what I am saying is that it is RIDICULOUS that someone can get a big scholarship to go to the #1/2 school in the nation for nursing, but can't get into their state school program. Or that even a practically perfect GPA will not get you in. And most importantly, I just feel horribly sad for bright Texas students who want to go into nursing, where there is predicted to be a shortage of 70,000 nurses by 2020 (according to UTA's own website) but are unable to because of a SERIOUS bottleneck in the number of spots in nursing schools. UT administrators (UTA as well as other UT campuses) - you need to FIX THIS PROBLEM!!!!!

For other students looking for advice on how to get accepted into this program I honestly think that the only way it's possible is for you to work at a partnered hospital before applying. Best of luck!

Waitlisted :(

no considerations, 4.0 science GPA, 3.9 overall. I'm considering an ADN program now.. I guess considerations are a huge factor..

Has everyone on the waitlist had their fingerprints done? I was told to make an appt as soon as possible but would prefer not to spend the money until I know I am accepted. I also was not given any information on how to make an appt and cannot find anything on the website. Also, do the fingerprints need to be done in order to be accepted? Any insight appreciated--thanks!
