UTHealth Nursing Spring 2017

[mairafir]

Hello friends!

I'm creating this as a communication board for new students/applicants to talk on about:

• Current GPA -- science & overall
  
• Requirements needed to apply
  
• HESI test requirements
  
• Applications -- status or general info
  
• Acceptance!
  

A quick intro-- My name is Maira and I've followed previous threads on here and I love how much information you can get from it! (I followed and read ALL of UTHSC Nursing Spring 2016)

I'm applying at UThealth for the nursing pacesetter program for Spring 2017. The application is due by Aug. 15 and I haven't submitted it yet because I haven't taken the HESI! I'm getting anxious about taking it, have any of y'all taken yours yet?!

Also, I've been meaning to stop by the school and see if my pre-reqs meet their requirements. I'm a bit confused on whether they will average 2 scores of the same class or not. For instance, a long time ago I took a English course and got a F (I was careless and young) and now I retook it and got a A. Another thing that I've been wondering about is what exactly the 5 hours of "electives" are-- will they accept a math class for it?

Well I look forward to meeting all of you!!!! Good luck!!!!

I applied only at UT. So all my eggs are in one basket. I hope I get in.

What are your stats Tesstex? Pre-req GPA, science GPA, and Hesi scores? What was your critical thinking score on the HESI?

[AHawkins]

I've had everything submitted for a while now, but I called to be sure, & they said they didn't have one of my transcripts on file (even though it was sent electronically & should've been recieved a long time ago) So I sent another & call will again tomorrow!

Good luck to everyone! I'm so excited. I pretty much ready the entire Spring 2016 thread to compare my stats to those who were admitted, & I'm nervous. Hopefully mine are good enough!

What is your gpa and hesi score, jenn?

[jennmv]

Tesstx,

my stats are:

science gpa: 4.0

pre-req gpa: 3.89

hesi : 94.8

critical thinking : 910

This is going to be a long couple of months while we all wait to find out the results!

[AHawkins]

Everyone has such amazing stats! Kinda scares me lol but I hope we all make it in. I'm glad we have this forum to discuss because I'm pretty sure everyone around me is tired of hearing me talk about it lol. It is pretty quiet around here compared to the other years!

[Tesstex]

Great scores, jenn!

[jennmv]

Yea.... My family and coworkers are tired of hearing me stress over admittance....

wow you guys have good stats. Makes me nervous, but I a trying to keep/think positive. September is is going to be the longest month of my life due to waiting. Urgh i need to know!! Hope we can all keep in contact here. @AHawkins, did u apply to any other schools? Its so weird/nice tho that UT Houston's application is so simple; some other universities require an arm and a leg.
