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!!!!
So I just called on my lunch break because I've been waiting on this answer since June when I applied, and my patience levels are diminishing lol. I couldn't help it.
Anyway, I know it seems like everyone here has already been accepted, but this is just a very small fraction of people who applied. They said they had over 1100 applicants this semester and they will be updating statuses up until November 15th, so.... there's still hope?
1100!!!!!!!! Damn! Thanks for calling @AHawkins! Of course makes you wonder out of that 1100 that applied how many actually met all the criteria to be considered for admission? SO if they are going to continue to let us know until Nov. 15th does that mean official rejection emails won't go out until the 15th? If so that's a lot of time to be on edge...time to find more hobbies to distract myself stat!!
I did the math yesterday, in order for everyone to have been admitted yesterday they would have needed to process 1 admit every 4 minutes, that seems highly unlikely.

ok, best comment thus far! Made me chuckle, much needed with the anxiety of not hearing yet...Also very impressive!
It's actually not... not at all... fun math stats:
Harvard (Undergrad 5.2%)
Yale (Under grad 6.3%)
UT (Undergrad General 39%)
These are schools that see thousands of applicatons in a cycle... for example this year hye had over 39,000!
So, as a qualified pool of applicants, with our dots dotted, our t's crossed, and all the benchmarks (HESI, pre-reqs, science pre-reqs) we can breath a little sigh of relief. 10.9% is a lot better than my original undergrad odds!
That's ridiculous, don't let the stress get you that anxious. I think this is the cheapest application I've ever submitted! My Yale undergrad app was $200, and it was a lot of money for me at the time, but it was my dream school. Note: I was waitlisted.
Plus, the money they make from applications is nothing to hundreds of thousands of dollars it costs to run the school for a week. It does however offset the manhours and costs of running admissions, registration, and marketing.
We have one of the most affordable school systems in the nation.
