UTA Second Degree Fast Track Program

Published

Hey y'all!

I'm about to start taking my prereqs this summer to meet the Jan 5, 2010 app deadline for the University of Texas at Arlington Second Degree Fast Track Program.

Anyone around about to do the same thing? or anyone in the area already in or about to start another program?

Well, I am glad I didn't get too excited this time. Turns out they send that email out everytime an AP academic session begins...the new one begins on nov 2 or something like that. I am getting tired of getting emails saying "Congrats on your entrance into the SON Program!" and then it turns out to be a falsie. GRRRRRRRR...

I am not impressed with UTA.

yah, I am not too impressed with all of the emails. But I do understand that it's the first semester they are having this fast track program, so bumps are kind of exprected. It sucks, but I still think the regular nursing program as a whole is pretty good.

Has anyone received an acceptance letter yet for the UTA fast track program? Supposedly the letters have not been mailed yet, but someone else has already received theirs through the mail. This is strange to me.

Congrats, Goopsy! :yeah: You must be so stoked.

I am thinking of applying to the program as well (for the subsequent term). I noticed the prereqs list General Chemistry, though. I'm in Intro right now -- and that is quite enough for me ... really don't want to do another, harder one! Did you take General, or is that negotiable?

P.S. Hi Miss Pink! I think I saw that you got accepted to two UTs. Congrats to you as well!

No, it's not negotiable at all. I had gen chem with a B in it, and intro with an A in it. I was hoping they would take the intro grade, but they took the gen chem even when I asked them to take the intro. Honestly gen chem is just like intro. I did not see the difference!

Oh jeez that is a huge bummer! Thanks for the heads up. Did you take general just for UTA? What's odd is the other UTs don't care which you take. :-/

yah, I don't know about the other UT's. Strange. No, I didn't take gen chem just for UTA. I had taken it for my first degree since I had a minor in chemistry. They wouldn't even take my higher level chemistry courses that I had an A in, like organic chemistry, which is way harder. It had to be gen chem. I had taken intro to chem for TWU last december, so my GPA would be higher; they take intro.

Oh well, you're in! And will be a nurse in about 16 months! I'm so jealous! I'll take general if I have to. So everything but clinicals is online right? How often will you be going to the hospital for clinicals each week?

yes, everything is online. thanks for the congrats, but I have actually chosen to decline my spot and do the regular 2 year program. I am tired of taking classes online (I took some pre-reqs online) and lost motivation. I know that classes in person will be better for me.

Oh, I see, and I understand ... online classes can get old.
