UTA GPA

Published

Hi all,

i was wondering for those of you that have been accepted into the fall 2009 nursing program for uta or that are currently in the program, what was gpa (prereq/overall) upon entering/applying for the program?

Thanks misspink86, i wish you the best of luck and hopefully you'll get in!! Unfortunately i don't remember exactly what i made on my hesi a2 since i took it so long ago and we didn't get a printout of our scores or anything but i think i remember my scoring range was from 75% to 90% on the categories on that test. I remember i did poorly on the vocab part (medical terminologies). Back when i took it, our hesi a2 scores weren't used for admission purposes but now they are.

Thank you I did really well on all of the sections except Vocab! I made a 70 on the vocab. My science Gpa is a 4.0 and my nursing pre req is around a 3.7. Do you think that is going to hurt my chances? I'm going to meet with Justin tomorrow and see what he says but I would just like your advice. Thank you :)

hey! I think you are going to be fine. Justin told me that he was very sure that I would get an interview, and my GPAs are similar to yours. I hope it's true, but I'm still not going to take it for granted. Let me know what he says! :nurse:

Misspink86, as goopsy stated, i really think you have a very good chance. Looking back at the hesi a2 requirement on the uta.edu/nursing site, it states that

At this time, we do not require a minimum application score
for Spring 2010 applicants. I was mistaken in thinking that they're now using it as an admission criteria. Anyhow, I think they favor those students with high science gpa more so you seem to be in very good shape. Not to say that it's a guarantee that you will be accepted (i hope u do though!) but no doubt in my mind that you should definitely get an interview. Not only gpa's are considered a highly regarded aspect of the admission process but they also consider the interview process as an important part in determining their applicants in the selection process.

Yes, I am kind of nervous about the interview process. Do you have any pointers, advice, or tips? What kind of questions do they ask? I would really appreciate it if you let me know. I don't know anyone who goes to school there or has gone through this process, so no one can really give me any advice.

Even though the website does say they do not require any minimum score, my old advisor did mention to score atleast a 75 on each section to be qualified but I am not sure if they are really enforcing that or just advising that.

Ok I met with Justin today and he said that I would likely get an interview :) also he said that no min score is required on the hesi. Also if your composite is over a 300 when you add up each section you shouldnt worry! And if we get an interview it would be in Sept and they are accepting anywhere from 100-110!

Hi goopsy i sent you a pm. Misspink and goopsy, i wouldn't worry about your hesi scores. For those who don't know why they're accepting about 110 student now instead of the traditional 100 is because now they're doing the accelerated 1 yr BSN online program starting this fall. They will ask/select 10 students to participate in that program whereas the other 100 students can just stick with the traditional 2 yr route. They're only allowing additional 10 students to join if there's enough willing students that will do the accelerated online program. Let me know how things turn out for you guys! =)

Did anyone who's previously gotten into the UTA AP Online BSN Program partnered hospital as Texas Health Resources? If so, what was your GPA prior to being accepted into the program? Any helpful information will be greatly appreciated!
