UTHSC (TN) Fall 2016 BSN

[Ashley Monet]

Hey! Has anyone applied to UTHSC in Memphis TN for the Accelerated BSN starting in the Fall of 2016? Do you have any insight into competitive GPA's and Teas V scores?

[Ashley Monet]

Well for anybody that may run across this I called and the average GPA was 3.2 and TEAS V score was 75 for last year(2015).

Ah, I just saw this post or I would have responded. Have you heard anything yet? They said mid-February but I'm still checking every single day. Well, as of Feb. 1st that is! I've heard different things about how competitive it is though...

[Ashley Monet]

No, nothing yet. They notify by email right? I try not to continually check but find myself checking atleast 3 times a day.

I think it's either NursingCAS or email... I'm not totally sure, to be honest. I just want to know already, I was hopeful that they might let us know today.. maybe next week?

I applied there too! So anxious to hear back!

[emccormick4]

Awesome, abnursing! Hopefully we hear back soon!!!

Has any of you also applied to LSON or union?

[emccormick4]

I didn't meet the requirements.. I only have an AA so it's a long shot for me to be applying to UTHSC. I hear those programs are really good too... If I don't get into UTHSC this semester though, I think they're opening for the Spring too so I'll just apply again. I've really fallen in love with the school.

emccormick4: Is acceptance during the spring new for next year at UTHSC? They didn't do that this year... Also, are you from the area (Tennessee, that is)?

[emccormick4]

It is new! I'm going to call and ask after I hear from them to verify. I'm from Richmond-- I've lived all over the east coast and started looking into TN about a year ago. I was accepted to University of Tennessee Chattanooga, but their program is longer. I prefer accelerated programs, I tend to do a lot better. I wonder if priority is given to the applicants who live in Tennessee already.
