U.S.A. Texas

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....

Just wondering if anyone sent their emails to verify that you got the schools email and to request a test date, and if they answered you back. I sent both emails right away but haven't received confirmation that my test date request is good. Let me know please...

So, I have this paper due tomorrow yet I'm trolling this forum....

I find it weird also there is no interview with the test, because they have been doing it that way forever... Oh well, they are testing a bunch of new things out I guess.

For the TEAS you can't use a calculator but its pretty much easy math you can do with a sheet of paper (I think they give you a sheet). I didn't buy the TEAS book from the website but I heard it was helpful. I pretty much studied on my own with the practice questions from this site.

Other than that... the only thing that really throws you off is the geology questions on that test... I mean like WHAT?!?! does that have to do with anything haha...

GL girls/guys!

Hey futurern i sent both emails also and they didnt reply back confirming if my test date is good or not soo I assume it is...lol

Alex- this is a public site so idk I was just making sure hah :)

Thnx aznplayr! My friend that goes there said u can't bring a calculator but that she remembered being able to use one on the computer since it was a computerized test? Im going to study without a calculator just to be on the safe side tho! Thnx for the advice :)

Oh yes! the geology questions. I just make a guess, seriously no ideas. Why are we bothered to know the names of rocks!?
