UTHSCSA spring 2010 hopefuls!

[itsMEkassiah]

Okay so im applying to uthscsa for the spring and was wondering if anyone knows what gpa they look at and any other helpful ideas to get an interview etc. my prereq gpa is 3.74 but my overall gpa is a 3.44...is that going to hurt my chances? i went in for a transcript review and debbie calculated the wrong gpa for me and i didnt notice until i got home. i hope they dont mess up with my application. eeeek im so nervous i wanna do everything possible to get in!! the only other place im applying to is sac but i much rather get my bachelor degree then an associates....

Has anyone received an email from UTHSCSA asking if you might be interested in being considered for the accelerated track beginning in May 2010 which is pending approval by the board?

I thought I had already applied for the accelerated track & that it began in January! What does this mean?!!!

Nope, but I did get an email saying I could apply for the respiratory therapy program.

Okay, drum roll while I go check the mail... nothing. Oh well, tomorrow is another day. Let's cross our fingers...

Everyday we don't get a letter means we are that much closer.... Bummer...

[winnieyippooh]

When did you get those emails?

[AFmedx13]

I didn't receive an e-mail.........i wonder what that means. Ugh,...i hate this.

[calinative84]

If it makes you feel better I didn't get these emails. Oh well.

Hi everyone. I'm a current student so hopefully I can help answer some of your questions...

Unless you already have a prior Bachelor's degree, you won't be eligible for the accelerated program. That may be why some of you didn't get the email.

The entire nursing curriculum at the school is being overhauled, including the accelerated program. Up until now, accelerated students took the exact same courses, only they had one of their semesters smashed into the summer so that they finished a semester earlier than the other people they started out with. They are changing it so that accelerated students are in an entirely different program all together. It should be an improvement. I am not sure if they are keeping the accelerated program that starts in January or not. I would call and ask them what the plan is, and how many months it would take to complete the new program that starts in May (assuming it is approved).

I'm looking forward to seeing ALL of you guys at orientation!
