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!!!! :inlove:

Any waitlisted applicants heard anything yet?

my statues still states "complete."

I am very nervous about applying to this program as i see people are getting randomly accepted even when they have lower stats and people with higher stats are getting denied.

I don't know if i have a chance or not.

I am interested in applying for SPRING or Summer 2018.

Previous bachelors degree in microbiology, previous master's degree in public health (epidemiology), working with the health department as an epidemiologist for last couple of years and now decided to have a career change

My stats are:

Overall GPA-3.189 (worked two jobs and took full time class so messed up my GPA)

Nursing prerequisite-3.87

Prerequisite Science-4.0

Hesi a2 will be taking it again as previous score was overall 84% which is not good at all.

I will be also taking TEAS 6

I got accepted by MUSC for spring 2017 but had to decline due to family circumstances.

They evaluated my transcript but according to them i have to take 4 more classes even though i have already taken two of them in college. I left Joanne Mendoza message, hopefully she returns my phone call.

Do u think i have any chance in getting into this particular program?

Please let me know.

Everyone has a chance. Just apply early and also apply to other schools because with this program you just never know. Pray and hope for the best. But at least try cause you never know and your stats are pretty good!

I definitely think you still have a chance. There are a lot of people with prior degrees in the program now (including me) and I think the school looks highly on that.

As for the classes not being counted, I had to go through that as well because they were not counting one of my classes. I talked to them over the phone a few times and they kept giving me wishy washy answers (they are not efficient at all with their process) and I ended up registering for another class to meet the requirement. Well, I received an updated transcript evaluation a couple of weeks later saying they would accept my class which was great but put me out of a couple hundred dollars for the class I registered for thanks to their mistake.. So if you know it should be counted, keep pressing on and they will update it eventually.
