UTHSCSA Fall 2010 HOPEFULS!

Published

Anybody applied to the fall 2010 semester? I just received an invite to take the TEAS!

zx7chelle - did you say you were AF applying for the NECP? I am doing that but I am deployed right now - waiting to hear if I was accepted is painful! I would like to know ASAP so I can complete my NECP package and get that in? Did you do the Form 48 yet?

Bluescrubbies & lovely_kanwal4u= Rumor has it that GPA holds a higher value (score) than the TEAS and the written portion (subbed for the interview) so I think you are in decent condition with a GPA like that.

I'm feeling more stressed right now. I just feel that I'm not gonna get in cause of my GPA *3.4*, which I have worked hard to raise since having a bad semester at UT Austin *yikes*. I know I should have studied the TEAS because my GPA is lower but I have a full load of classes this semester, so I got an 87%. The only positive thing I got going is that all my pre-requisites are done and I will have an Associates of Science.

I feel that with your higher GPA ya'll have a higher chance of getting in than I do. But you never know, right. I have had a couple of my former classmates get accepted at with a 3.3 gpa. Fingers Crossed.

Hopefully, we get in. :)

Hey all! I'm stressing too! Hopefully we'll all hear good news.

This is what I've heard from the nursing office:

GPA is 70% of the admissions decision, 25% is your TEAS score, and 5% is your essays.

They do put a lot of weight on GPA, but when I spoke with admissions they said that if you have a lower GPA paired with a high TEAS score, it balances out.

I know they're considering about 200 people for the 120-130 spots available, and they'll have a list of about 50-60 alternates. And last semester they admitted about 30 people from their alternate list!

Hi Fadedflower,Yes, AF and NECP. I havent done my AF form 48 yet. I think the school has to sign it; I figured no point doing all that work if I dont get in...right? Deployed? Ughhh. That has to be tough. Can I help with anything?

Nope, it will be here soon though. I want to get in so bad. But if I dont, I want to be the top 10 on the alternative list. Wonder is they tell you what number you are?

Same here... I keep checking my mail... even though I know it will take couple of days for it to get here... I also am very passionate about getting in...

I'M IN!!!!!!!!! Just got my email today saying I was accepted! I am deployed right now, so I worked it out to get notified via email. I am so excited and relieved that my hard work paid off. Good luck to everyone else waiting to find out. I truly wish you all the best.

Hey Flower, I am deployed right now too and am also applying for NECP. I turned in my application back in December prior to leaving sans the admission letter I just got and my most recent EPR. But, if there is anything you need help with, let me know. I would be more than happy to help.

p.s. Where are you deployed to?
