UTHSCSA Traditional BSN Application Fall 15

U.S.A. Texas

Published

Hey guys!

So the application to start in the Fall of 2015 is due on February 1st. Really, that is right around the corner if you think about it!

Let this thread be dedicated to all hopefuls!

I still have to take the Teas V, but I did buy the study guide with 2 tests so hopefully that helps. My cumulative GPA will be 3.2ish and my pre-req GPA will be close to 4.0. I'm extremely anxious about getting in that is for sure!

I also got accepted to the Houston program, and I have heard of their very high NCLEX rates. I am leaning closer to UTHSCSA simply because it is closer to home and it was my top choice from the beginning. The only reason I'm over thinking it is because I have been hearing about TWU's NCLEX rates and about how it is in the medical center. Price range wise, they're about the same. Except for UTHSCSA requires you to buy their laptop, I'm not sure what expenses there are at TWU besides tuition and uniforms. Another reason for leaning towards UTHSCSA is the cheap apartments I have found near the school while at TWU all the cheap apartments were very far.

I know this is a completely different subject, but I need help figuring this out. I got accepted to both TWU and UTHSCSA for Fall 2015. I heard from TWU first, however I was really hoping that UTHSCSA would accept me since it is a lot closer to home (Austin). Now that I must make a decision I am a little stuck and hesitant about sending a denial notice. Do any of you have an opinion or know which one is a better program ?

Truthfully, TWU is most likely the better program. However, some thing to also consider is how well you vibe with each school, the perks to each program (some schools have different labs/simulators/etc.), why NCLEX scores are what they are (some schools require more testing before you are allowed to take the NCLEX to prove you can pass it).

However, from what I know, TWU still does pretty good in all of those areas.

My friend emailed Brandy and asked exactly how does waiting list work. She asked since she is 10th on waiting list do 10 people have to decline for her to get an offer and she said yes that's how it worked. I'm hoping and praying 10 people declined today so that all of the waiting list people get in!!
