UTA Spring 2012

Hi all! i have been reading this forum religiously coz this is all i have between now and the acceptance/denial letters. I am curious about UTMB coz when i looked,the website stated that the clinicals are in Galvestone only. Please shed more light on this as i try to get plan B going.I am unpartnered and am afraid it will be a rejection too despite that i graduated form UTA in 2006.

Hang in there and be positive. Yes UTMB's clinicals are on campus. I have applied there and UTA. What I liked about UTMB is that they had a supporting statement for you to write. So while they were looking at grades and test scores, they also had something objective to read. I have made it to the interview process for UTMB. Their program is 12mo and VERY intense and I believe might cost slightly more than UTA's. Not sure what to do if I am accepted to both (which I highly doubt - and am preparing to get rejects from both). Keep looking at Bacc 2 programs as it is still better in the workforce to have the Bacc than just the ADN these days. I calculated it out, and due to additional pre-reqs (as I would have to retake more classes) the ADN track will take me twice as long as UTA's Bacc2 program. I am praying for answers. After all, that is about all we can do. Demand for these programs is so high.

Good luck and I hope to hear more from you soon.

I emailed my adviser today and she said she is still checking to see if i meet all the requirements. UTMB is out of the question for me as i have a family.I am very apprehensive because it seems to me that UTA is looking for every little excuse to throw out my application but i will not let them,am staying on top of things.Am afraid my plan B is slowly becoming plan A.Most jobs i see posted are asking for BSN and so i will keep trying until i get into one of these fast track programs,TWU is very appealing.

I have heard TWU is EXPENSIVE. With all they require, besides classes, I "heard" it is about 90,000. BUT, take the religion course they require and maybe you will be eligible for some scholarships or something. I am continuing to pray and trying to stand working my current job. You could look for a part-time job at one of the hospitals that are partnered in Dallas/Ft. Worth. I was told if I had a job, I would make it in. But I live 8+ hours from Dallas so not happening. I also said I was interested in the Houston cohort if it ever starts. Keep me posted!

You may be confusing TWU with another school. $90k sounds about how much a program at a private university would potentially cost. TWU's tuition per hour is similar to, if not lower than, that of other universities in the area.

I did. TCU! Sorry. I don't live in Texas so I may be easily confused at times. LOL. I looked at TWU but my A&P and micro are over 5 years old. Will have to retake them before being considered there.

Too many schools with Ts in their acronyms! But yes, TCU is pretty expensive and so is Baylor. I went to a private school for my first Bachelor's degree and I am not going that route again! :)

I got am email from my adviser and she says that this year GPA is very important so hope that helps with those of us who are not partnered.Private college is the my last hope.All i can say is October is gonna be a long month until we find out our fate.

Yes, I was told that GPA is actually the only thing UTA uses to rank the applicants. I really dislike that but oh well...best of luck to everyone!! October will be a long month..haha

I applied to the UTA program but I'm pretty sure I'm not going to get in. I guess they don't take grade replacements after you've applied which caused me to have a lower GPA. It's okay though because I got in to Texas A&M commerces pilot nursing program. Super exciting. Anyone who doesn't get in to the UTA program look in to the A&M program it's online except for labs and clinicals.

I am still take pharmacology and patho at UTA though. Is anyone taking pharmacology? Does any want to start a study group? There is so much information in the modules to study that it's overwhelming.

Anyone heard anything else more specific about letters from their advisors??!! I'm praying the next 2 weeks flies by...lol

Tejas, I hope time flies also. I am getting anxious, especially since I don't have a back up plan.

One of the advisers talked to my Intro to Nursing class a few days ago. She said they will be mailing the letters the first week of November. For the spring, 700 people applied to the online program and 500 to the campus based program. Last fall, 600 applied for the campus based program. She said that traditionally less people apply for the spring programs compared to the fall. She also said that you need a 3.5 to be competitive.
