Dec 8, 20178 yr It seems that no one has started a thread for the Fall 2018 program applicants, so I figured I would rally us all together to support one another and share our experiences, stats, and where we are in the application process!
Dec 29, 20178 yr You might want to check on taking the HESI, they've switched to TEAS exam for their entrance exams.
Dec 29, 20178 yr If you were accepted into the university prior to fall 2017 you can take either the hesi or teas.
Jan 4, 20188 yr Hi everyone!Im currently in the lower division AO BSN program at UTA. I have been finishing up my pre reqs this fall. I am a positive person but I have several friends in the program who have spoken to advisors about GPAs and acceptance rates in the past. There have been students win 4.0s that were wait listed to both programs. All in all we should all remain positive but there have been students with 3.25 GPAs that have been accepted as well. It's very competitive and just from reading previous boards I don't think anyone knows if they are a "shoe" in just because of GPAs alone. I am nervous because I have all As in my science classes except chemistry (I took this past fall at UTA and made a B). That class was hard a lot of students struggled to even pass. Below are my stats! Good luck to everyone! I wish we could all get in and do this together!overall gpa: 3.6science gpa: 3.75HESI: overall 95%Considerations: previous Bachelorstaken 16 science credits at UTAPossibly taken over 30 hours at UTA if they count any spring classes I am about to take. (I am fuzzy on this just because some previous responses from advisors).
Jan 6, 20188 yr Quick update:Reading Comprehension: 90%Grammar: 86%Vocab: 80%Math: 88%Cumulative Score: 86%I passed the hesi and I've submitted my application.
Jan 9, 20188 yr Hello all,!I applied a few weeks ago. My Stats are 4.0 Science, 3.96 overall & 86 on HESI. I dont have any considerations so hopefully my GPA will suffice. I'm taking Patho on campus this spring with Dr. Urban, I heard she was great. Anyone else taking her Spring?

I heard Urban is the best for patho. Good luck in the course.
Jan 9, 20188 yr Author Has anyone taken the HESI? I've been over several different study guides, and they're making it sound impossibly easy, but I don't want to get surprised at the testing center. In y'all's experience, was there anything that threw you for a loop or anything I should look out for? Which section was the hardest for y'all?

In y'all's experience, was there anything that threw you for a loop or anything I should look out for? Which section was the hardest for y'all?I just took the Hesi on 1/6. The reading, grammar, and vocab were pretty straightforward. There were a lot of ratios, fractions, and conversions on the math portion (not very difficult), but the AP section was tough. I took it because I was applying to other schools. If you aren't, don't take it. It's not impossible to pass.
