Hello everyone! This thread is for everyone applying to the University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston. I believe they will be accepting applications from January 15-April 1, so the sooner the better! Their admission requirements are pretty standard:
Minimum Pre-Req Gpa: 2.75
Minimum Science Gpa: 3.0
Minimum HESI A2 score: 75% or higher on all required sections - math, reading comprehension, vocabulary/general knowledge, grammar, anatomy and physiology, critical thinking.
My info is really not that competitive, but I'm going to give it a shot anyways -
Pre-Req Gpa: 3.30
Science Gpa: 3.0 (Barely cutting it! )
Overall Gpa: 3.28
Hesi score: 93.3% overall, with my lowest score being a 90.
My gpa is not the best, but I still have 3 more classes to finish this semester, and I'm aiming for all A's! I think the best thing I have going for me is my HESI scores.
Anyone else planning on applying? What are your stats? Any questions? Lets hear them, and good luck to all who are applying!
Hmmmm.... Maybe she isn't applying for the traditional program. When I last spoke to somebody at the school, they said that those applying to the traditional BSN would not be interviewed. That the staff were already super busy. That would be SO bad for the schools reputation if they were lying to all their applicants. And I know in not the only one the have told.... At the info session they answered the same question, SEVERAL times. If they did hold interviews it is kind of random that she is the "ONLY" one who got one...... I'm not saying she is lying, BUT........ some people will say just about ANYTHING for attention, even if there isn't a grain of truth to it. I wouldn't stress over "her special interview"..... Everything will work itself out for all of us I think most people have had a bad grade or two, or even a semester. I know I majored in "social 101" when I was 18.....
I really hope so cause I have one bad summer semester from 2008. I have since retaken everything and done great but I am still worried, you know? Cause most people it seems will have done just about everything right.
Future Nurse- I am sorry, I misread your post and thought that your classmate was talking about her friend who got an interview and that is why I said that your classmate might have misheard her friend. I am almost a 100% sure that they are not performing any interviews coz I asked the school about interviews particularly before leaving the country on vacation and they said no. I will not be returning back until May so they better not call me for an interview coz that would really be hard for me to attend.
ask my fronds and family and they will tell you that i was going absolutely MAD! the stress of the application process is bad the worst part is the last few weeks/days... i went thru this with ut last year just to be denied, so glad to get in somewhere!

Just FYI...I called UT this morning...she said they will not post until April 15th when the letters are sent out. Also, it will be posted on my.uth site not utlink...utlink will no longer be used.
Still a hard April 15th? Bummer. But wow that is coming up soon! How exciting to finally hear from them!!! UTHSC SON has felt like this mythical unicorn of sorts, since they didn't do interviews like other schools and all. I'm really excited to finally hear something back from them!
My nerves are much calmer about hearing from UTHSC now (and I only check myuth once a day instead of 100x ) because I have luckily been admitted to the other schools I applied to. YEAY! Just knowing that I am definitely going to nursing school in the Fall has me on cloud nine. I thought I would have to wait until April to hear from everyone, but man am I super happy that only one of them is waiting until April 15th.
Congratulations to all of you who have heard from other schools and good luck to all of us still waiting to hear!! Only a little over two weeks! Wow.
