UTA FALL 2012

[BJBAILEY1972]

Hey all, I thought I would set up a place to discuss the next application period for UTA's Fall 2012 nursing program. There was so much info in the Spring 2012 forum, thought it might be helpful to start a new thread...

Post away!

I have been called off the waitlist. I missed my call so I got an email to call in because my voicemail was full. I think there is a excel spreadsheet that was created for everyone's stats. My science GPA was 3.5 for the required sciences and my overall pre-requisite GPA around 3.7 or so. I took some classes online at UT-Arlington and I do have a previous degree.

Congrats Shenfield37!

I'm wondering if you have received your acceptance/orientation email yet. I was called Wed and they said it would be Thurs or Friday. I haven't received it yet, how about you? I know it sounds silly, but I really want to see the acceptance in writing. ;-)

What hospital did they partner you with?

[SHenfield37]

They said I would receive it today or Monday. They partnered me with Brazosport which is Southeast of Houston. It is a little bit of a drive but I don't care. I am really blessed to have gotten in because the odds of getting in unpartnered are low especially if you're not in Dallas.

[SHenfield37]

So grateful...Praise God!!!

Who did you get partnered with??

Congrats SHenfield37! That is awesome!

[SHenfield37]

Brazosport Memorial Hospital near Houston. I live in Houston but I started the pre-reqs when I still lived in Arlington.

Me too Megreen! I am going back and forth with either going ahead and starting the ADN program I was accepted to or hold out for Spring AP BSN program at UTA or on campus for Spring...of course this is if I don't get called from the waitlist. I am employed at Parkland now and I think my chances of getting in to the AP program for Spring are a lot better than they were this go around. I also don't want to miss out on starting school somewhere though....what do you guys think?

I'm in the same situation too. I were you I would go ahead and start the adn program and reapply uta program. You may lose some money for the adn program if you got into uta in the spring but at least you won't live in anxiety and waiting anymore!

Yea I think that might be the best bet too. Thx! This is so frustrating to even think about. I am trying to keep my patience and trust in the Lord. Hope everyone has a great Saturday!
