UTHSC-Houston Spring 2013

[Ladybug3]

Hi,

I am new to allnurses.com and I wanted to start a topic for the Spring 2013 applicants at UTHSC Houston. Where we can keep each other posted on the process as it nears. I have yet to take the HESI but i wonder if anyone else has taken it and what their score was. I will compile my GPA's later and post them on here.

Thanks for your comments

Well looks like I'll be taking the hesi test again, vocab and grammar kicked my butt! I mean I passed everything but I just don't think my scores would be competitive enough!

[tessthebest]

Math- 98

Reading- 94

Vocabulary- 78

Grammar- 84

A&P -80

Critical thinking- 860

Here is my scores, if y'all would like to compare! But like I said I'm going to have to retake it to improve some stuff :)

Hello everyone! Are many people applying to the accelerated program that starts may 2013?

@Stacymonique congrats on your acceptance! I also have a biology (marine biology) degree from A&M. Gig 'em! :-) I have to admit that my undergrad gpa should have been better, so I am worried that it might be held against me when I apply for the 2013 accelerated program. :-( However, I am happy to say that so far I am getting all A's in the per-requisites that I am currently enrolled in. What is a competitive gpa and hesi score?

I'm applying to both.

Hello Ladybug! I am considering applying to both also... Are you already finished with the application process? Good luck to you! :-)

This may sound like a silly question, but can anyone tell me the difference between the accelerated and the traidtional programs?

I am not done yet. Same to u

The difference is the accelerated is 15 mths and the traditional is 24.

Thanks Ladybug! That is what I assumed but I wanted to make sure. Are you applying to any other nursing schools as well?

I'm applying to UTHSC-Houston for the Spring2013 Generic and May 2013 Accelerated programs (and a few other accelerated programs starting in January). My top choice is the UTHSC-H Accelerated program starting in May. The thing is, if I get into a program starting in January, I don't want to pass something up without knowing anything else (one in the hand is worth two in the bush and all). Thoughts? Anyone facing a similar problem? I wish we could find out about the May program earlier! I've already sent in my application and just wish they could look at it now.

Hello, everyone! I am also applying to UTHSC from Spring of 2013 (the traditional BSN program). Those of you who have taken the HESI - do you know anything about the TEAS test in comparison?

I have not started my application yet either, since I'm finishing up some core classes this summer. I'm in Dallas, TX - are any of you in Houston?

[Ladybug3]

I am currently in Houston
