UTA Spring 2010

U.S.A. Texas

Published

Is anyone out there applying at UTA for the spring? I was wondering, if we are asked to interview, what month would that be? and does anyone know when they send out their final decision? Also, what goes on in the interview? Any tips? pls?

Hey Goopsy,

No I am still applying to UTA, as well as the other schools mentioned above lol sorry if I confused you. Just hoping to get in somewhere! What other schools are you applying to ? and which school is your top choice? No we don't calculate our GPAs they do it for us. As far as my sections I will be in the Tues Patho class from 4-6:50pm and Pharm in the fall as well will be on Thurs 1-3:50pm! OMG I've heard a few people did not know about the Hesi deadline being June 1! thats crazy huh?

yah, that is crazy about the jun 1 deadline. I kept checking the website like every week, so I don't know how ppl could miss out on that. Maybe they were just busy or got confused with another school. Did they really change the deadline? I could have sworn it was always jun 1, right?

I am applying to just UTA and TWU. TWU was my top choice, but ever since I learned more about UTA, I am leaning towards UTA since they have the smart hospital and all. What is your top choice? I hope to have a pick, if not I will take either lol.

question to anyone: im taking the hesi test this friday at UTA and as you all probably know there is only certain section taken (no sciences). the thing is i also wanted to apply for twu's nursing program and i know they also require you to take the hesi but with all section. will i be able to take the hesi test again for all section regardless of when i took the last one, bc i know there was a rule that you can only take the test like every 6 months?

hi there ayeisha! i understand what you are asking since i was in the same boat as you and twu doesnt need it till sept 1! i actually emailed david craddock about a month ago; he is the head of support for hesi. this is what he told me:

"you can only take the exam once, but your results will be sent automatically to the school that you list as your prospective school. you can then request that your results be sent to another school if you would like. if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me."

then i called twu, and they told me no as well. that is why i didnt sign up to take it at uta since they only have those 4 sections on it, and not all of them. i registered through prometric so i could just take it once and follow the 6 month rule and not take a risk on them saying no. i'm sorry, i wish i had something better to say!

good luck on your test on fri!

Hello all,

Looks like you guys are applying for spring 10. I am also on the same boat.I had wanted to go for fall 09 but applied only at one school, and so here I am trying for spring 10. I am now in Houston, and I have completed all my non-nursing prereqs ( A and P, micro etc etc) and such at local CC here. However, UTA needs nursing pre-reqs ( Concepts of professional Nursing, pathophysiology and Pharmacology) I have completed Pharm, but I dont know where to take the remaining two. My cc does not offer patho, so if any of you are from North Houston area, or houston, where did you guys take Patho and Concepts of Professional nursing?

also, for HESI- its only Math and Reading rite? There is no science section?

Hi there! Welcome! The HESI is math, reading, grammar, and vocab, learning styles, and behavioral apptitute (but the last two are just opinions about yourself). For concepts, patho, and pharm, you have to take them at UTA unless they are pre-approved by an advisor. Have you taken your test yet? I live in Dallas area so I can't help you on where to take them. sorry! Good luck!

i took the hesi yesterday. im nervous though bc i didnt do as well as i planned in the vocab section. i rushed through it wen i should have took my time. all together i got a 96% in math, 96% grammar, 93% reading and 72% vocab. i really hope that 72 isnt going to damper my chances of getting in.

ayeisha, don't worry. Just take it slow and email your advisor. I hope it doesn't hurt your chances either. You did great on the other sections, and 72 is close to the 75. The website does not say you need a minimum score. Just the advisors said that you need a 75. Word out is that UTA changed a lot this year. So don't be bummed. :loveya:

hey ayeisha I am in the same boat as you! I emailed my advisor today so hopefully he will get back to me soon, I have no idea what to expect! I made a 70 on my vocab. I remember my advisor saying I need a 75 or higher but I don't know if that is the minimum score. If it is this would be the first time that UTA takes a min score, all we can do is hope & pray!:cry:

thanks for thwe encouragement. i was really bothered bc i thought uta only tested for their required parts but they actually allow you to take the chem, bio, and a&p parts if your want once you are finished with the required sections for UTA. since i thought i couldnt take those parts at uta i didnt even bother studying them. the funny thing is i had so much extra time left after finishing the required sections for UTA that i decided to do the sciences sections for fun and did better on those than i did the darn vocab section that i had been studying for for the last 2 weeks! got a 88 in bio, 80 in chem, and 84 in a&p...and science is my worst subject lol! but yea i am going to email my advisor because i was also told that they wanted at least 75% on all parts, and i know i havent worked my butt off, for them to tell me i cant get in bc of that.

i know, especially since you are so close!! I know how you feel. I did the same thing for TWU last semester and couldn't apply since I was 3 pts short of meeting the NET requirement!

Welcome to anyone who is new! :wlcmggrp:
