Published

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? :eek: 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!!:D the only other place im applying to is sac but i much rather get my bachelor degree then an associates....

Does anybody know when the orientation dates are?

Hi,

I am an international student and I got my acceptance for nursingg graduate study at UTHSCSA two days ago. I am so excited and happy to start. Is anyone here going to start on spring 2010? I am looking for friends

Hi Nurse-Losy, welcome to the board. I think you are the only one so far that I've seen that has been admitted for Graduate studies at UTHSCSA on this thread. From what I've read mostly all of us who have been posting are going into the undergraduate programs, whether it be generic (we don't have a bachelor's degree already) or accelerated (already have a degree, getting a second one in nursing). Good luck to you in your studies!

Just some info. A girl in my class already got her clinical assignment. She'll be doing them at the VA.

I should be getting to San Antonio 19 December. I am hoping i do not need to be there in person for anything before that date. Yikes.

Hello & congrats to everyone! =]. I also got that letter in the mail from the school about the VA. It says there is orientation on Dec 16, so, I'm guessing that's where my clinical assignment is.

Hey Leslie... That is why I was asking Cyclical how his partner knew cause i got that same letter that you did but mine is for a diffrent day. Maybe we will be in clinicals together. :)

I didn't ask how she found out, but I heard that the VA requires an extra background check so they assign people to the VA asap.

I now have a hold on my account over my vaccinations. The woman I spoke to said that they still had a ton of records to go through and to give it a week for them to sort it out.
