UTA Fall 2016

Published

Hello all! I'm starting a thread for Fall 2016 BSN on-campus and online programs. Please feel free to share where you are in your application process and/or any questions you might have.

I've applied for the Fall 2017 program. Of course, I won't find out until April whether or not I get in. I have taken the HESI and all my science classes. I just lack 4 of my other classes. I have a 92 HESI score, a 3.75 science GPA and a 3.5 prerequisite GPA. From anyone who has been accepted into the program, what are my chances of getting in??

I had about the same GPA as you do when I applied. I got waitlisted for about a month then got offered the admission to the program. I think the the average GPA that they would accept is 3.6 or so.

So I would say yes, you do have a high chance of getting in.

The advisor at UTA said 3.5 and above is what they really look at. On both the science and the pre request GPA

For the HESI exam being taken at UTA, are we allowed to use the computer calculator for the math portion?

I just took the HESI at UTA on Wednesday. Yes, you can use the calculator on the screen, not the regular computer one.

Has anyone taken patho and pharm at the same time? I'm debating whether to take them same time in spring 2017? I don't work but I do have twins who are 2yo and they go to daycare. I am just a little worried if taking them at same time is a bad idea.

Don't do it unless you have no other choice or you are already well versed in the subjects.

on another note, if I can't take these 2 classes together, then how can I handle full load of nursing courses in a semester?

I am sure the nursing classes are in a certain order so that each class prepares you for the next...no difference here. You need a strong understanding of patho to fully understand pharm. If you have any type of healthcare background you may do just fine, but being new to the field I am very thankful that I took them separately.

Do you have to do sciences at/through UTA? Do they have limit on sciences like 5, 10 years? Can someone e-mail me so I can get a better idea about the program. What are considerations?
