This thread is dedicated to the applicants of UT Houston's Spring 2012 application period. I've seen various threads posted throughout the discussion forum regarding the upcoming application period, but they are scattered and hard to keep track of. Maybe if we keep our discussion in one place it will be easier for us all to follow :)
I'm applying with the following stats:
Pre-req GPA: 3.21
Science GPA: 3.66
Overall GPA: 2.81
I know my chances of getting in aren't great with my overall GPA, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed anyway! Please post your stats, your thoughts, your experiences, ideas and opinions here:)
Yep...I think mine was the same,but I'll have to double check when I get home. Not accepted with a nursing pre req of a 3.583, sci gpa 3.75 , ct 830 and a bs in psych.
@ l8blumer, did u work while going to school? & how many wk hours/semester hrs? Someone mentioned that a good gpa isn't enough if it didn't come with a full load. Who knows though? I've given up trying to figure it out. Can anyone who got accepted tell us what they got on personality/learning styles? Maybe Katybusymom?
I am visual/analytical and creative/people. I have no idea if that played a part in me getting in or not. I do know that I've worked myself to death trying to get into nursing school, just as many of you have. I took 43 hours in 12 months and maintained a 3.75 GPA. I made a C in Chemistry which brought my 4.0 down to a 3.75. I wasn't too happy about that. All of my pre-req classes are recent except for 5 liberal arts classes that I took 20yrs ago when I first attended college.
I'm also taking a full load this semester (Statistics, Nutrition, Dev. Psych, Pathophysiology and Pharmacology). I've already finished Stats and Nutrition. The only pre-req I had left for UTHSC was/is Dev. Psych which ends in December. I'm taking patho and pharm for another school that I applied to. I'm staying in those classes because I have good grades in both classes, I've already paid for them and it's good experience for me even though they will not transfer to UTHSC.
I was 21 hours away from graduating from UT Arlington when I got accepted at UT Houston.
Well, I've been working part time as a counselor from my full time position since I went back to school to finish my prereqs one year ago. Like I said before I have a bs in psych and have been a counselor for a number of years. I finished all my prereqs before applying this summer and have been talking Spanish and sign language in the fall for personal and professional benefits.
I have read through more of this thread. I see that katybusymom did get accepted. Congratulations! That gives me hope.
I have not gone through the process myself, but my 2 cousins are RNs. They said that many schools use the personality assessment to diversify the class. Just what I heard.
I was told by a former UTHSC student that the admissions committee looks at the CT section closely. It's broken down into five sections and you are scored on each section then the average of those scores is what your CT score is reported as.
This same person commented that she was accepted because she scored very high in the "moral/ethical" section of the CT portion of the Hesi. After she was admitted, she talked with an advisor and was told "we can teach you how to take care of patients, we can't teach you right from wrong at this point in your life".
