UTHSC (TN) Fall 2016 BSN

Published

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?

I'm out of state too (Arizona) and I wonder the same thing. I know they definitely favor in-state for Med school (my boyfriend is there right now for medicine), but I'm not entirely sure about nursing. I met with one of the advisors back in june before I even applied or took the TEAS to get some info, and I asked her if they favored in-state applicants. She told me they didn't, but I also feel that telling people they do favor in-state would discourage people from applying to the program...Anyways, that's my one big concern right now.

Well I'll cross fingers for the both of us! It made me feel a little better to see that they didn't even have 200 applicants last year and almost all of them got offers.. After I did the math, I think I figured out that they have like a 70% acceptance rate. I'm more worried about the fact that I don't have a Bachelor's degree. Jamie Overton said I still had a fair chance though so hopefully out of state residency and that doesn't hurt my chances.

I think that as long as you have all the required number of credits and passed the TEAS, you definitely have a fair chance. and yes! Best of luck to you too! We should be hearing back from them at the end of the week I think!!

I really hope so! I want it so badly. I have NursingCAS and my email pulled up 24/7... Luckily, they can't see the amount of times I'm checking haha.

I calculated 70% as well, for some reason my notificatons were turned off for this thread.

Well hopefully we all get in!! I've been checking my email constantly too.. Do they put it on nursingCAS? I applied to union via nursingCAS too and it didn't notify me.

That's the one thing I really have NO idea about! I've read different responses on here to that question, some people were saying they got letters, others emails. It's hard to expect things from past years though. Since NursingCAS updated, I feel like they're going to notify via that... but I think it really could be either one. Except snail mail?

Well I know this is pretty obvious but when someone is notified please post to let everyone know...then I pobably will check every hour instead of every 8hours!! I'm so nervous.

My bad! Still figuring this site out! I almost wish they were calling for interviews or something so that we know what's going on/
