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!
I only received mine last week. It had one thing wrong on it - one of my English classes was mistakenly counted as an elective when it should have counted toward the Engl. Comp requirement. They made the change pretty quickly and I received a revised transcript eval within a few days. I would definitely stay on top on them -- via email and phone calls. Also, when I had spoken to the Student Admissions office a few weeks back, they had told me that 1) just because you do not receive a transcript eval, doesn't mean you aren't going to be accepted and 2) because of the amount of admissions applicants, there is a strong chance that you might not actually get a transcript eval until the letters go out. So don't fret! Good luck to everyone and may the odds be ever in your favor
yuppp so ut portal is deff not working. thank you for telllling us so we are not all freaking out right now (:
You're welcome! I think it is a blessing because at least we can all take a week-long break from logging in to MyUTH 20 times a day looking for status updates. It's like the calm before the storm :-)
When I called they told me they were going to mail the letters out by the 15th, and I called about a week ago. They said that the letters would probably be received even before the status was posted on myUTH.
Thanks! Yeah, I was told April 15th and saw it was a Sunday so I thought maybe we were contacted by either email or myUTH. Hopefully they have already sent out the letters or will send them out this week! Best of luck everyone and let us know when you hear something!
I had to post this story because only you guys would understand my frustration and anxiety!
I went to get my mail today and there was an envelope from UTHSC. I started freaking out because I had already received my transcript evaluation and everything was complete. I just knew it was an acceptance/denial letter! I ripped it open and it was a letter asking for donations to the school. My heart sank like a rock. I tore it into pieces and threw it in the trash! If they want my money they better accept me into their nursing program!
