Hello! So I had seen threads started for past classes and didn't see one yet for the Fall of 2014 class, so I figured I would start one. So let me introduce myself. My name is Will Long, I am a 27 years old male and I am applying for UTHSCSA's Traditional BSN program for the Fall of 2014. I have started my application and have signed up to take the TEAS test next Friday. I am pretty excited about finally being able to apply after finishing up all the pre-reqs. Anyways I was hoping this thread could be used a source of information and a place to ask each other questions throughout the application process. Anybody else out there applying? Have you already taken your TEAS test?
I received an email from Brandy saying all required items have been received and that emails of notification of admissions will be sent out next week! Good luck to all! We got this guys! :)
Hey guys. I am not a fall 2014 applicant and I hope yall dont mind me commenting in your thread, but I'm having an extremely difficult time trying to decide what I should do with my future. I'm here to ask for some advice, thoughts, and opinions on my situation.
I applied for UTMB and UT Health houston fall 2015 entry and have been rejected by both. It is very depressing and I'm seriously starting to lose hope of becoming a nurse all in all. I was planning on applying to UT Health San Antonio for Spring 2015 (as well as reapply to UT houston and UTMB). My overall college GPA is 2.9 and my TEAS is a 90%. I was also on academic probation for a semester at UT Austin and I have written that down in nursingcas when I applied to UTMB. I would probably leave it on when I apply for San Antonio as well because I just don't want to lie.
Now the thing is that I'm starting to think this is not realistic and I will not get into ut health san antonio. I have several weeks to decide whether I want to join the Air Force and pursue a health care career in the military instead of wasting my time with applying to nursing schools and getting rejected.
All I can do is ask for your opinions on if you think I'll get in or not because I have looked at the previous semester's acceptance profiles and my GPA is far below the average of the applicants that were accepted. I hope some of yall will understand where I'm coming from and can give me some valuable thoughts and opinions.
Hey, I would get my gpa up first. You're gpa is low for nursing school. Take a couple of filler courses at a local college then apply again. Most schools won't accept anything less than a 3.2 depending on who applys.. my friend didn't get in and she had a 3.5....she eventually got in and she's almost done. So never give up and just keep pushing
I'm just not so sure that if I'm having to find ways to distract myself already, that it bodes well for how well the rest of my week is going to go...lol

Wouldn't that depend on the nursing school? I guess UTMB is pretty competitive. But as for UTHSCSA I don't think is AS competitive, especially when you look at how many are accepted into the program.
