UTHSC-Houston Fall 2012 Applicants

U.S.A. Texas

Published

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! :crying2: )

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!

Anyone has an idea of whether we are required to have a BLS adult CPR certification only or the pediatric one too. Also, whether they would accept a certification from an online course (e.g. cprtoday.com).

Most programs want the AHA (American Heart Assn.) Healthcare Provider certification. I am pretty sure that's what is needed here too.

It cannot be online. Your going to need to take your BLS in class. They will only take your CPR from a company that is listed through AHA website. I just got mine 2 weeks ago. The class isn't much harder than the normal CPR classes.

Thanks Amymit & thanks Hemphia.

Hemphia, I go to sanjac too, did you get your CPR somewhere around that area and may I ask how long it took and how much did it cost.

Gladiator_80- I'm in the same area, and I found a BLS CPR class in Clear Lake through the AHA website. It is from 9am - 12 on a sat morning. no price listed, but from what I've read it should be about $80.

I paid $50 for my CPR, and the place I went was through AHA. The company name is TriOneCPR. It was done out of his home, very comfy. It was about 3 hours long and I did it on a Friday. He is off Blackhawk near beltway 8. Easy to get to. I plan on using him for my resertification. I already have been CPR certified before... Not sure ifnthat affected the price for me, but he was still very much worth it. I liked the environment of his home better than a classroom. He is also willing to travel and come to where you want. PM me if you want his number.....
