I applied for the Fall 2008 Accelerated BSN program and am very excited to have an interview on April 10 - the letter just came in the mail today! Anyway, I wasn't able to find any recent threads for applicants applying for this year so wanted to see if there were any applicants out there.
I'm interested to hear from any current or former students in the program. Is this a good program? What are some of the pros and cons?
I currently live in Houston and prefer to stay if I am accepted to any of the 3 nursing schools here, but I would certainly not hesitate to relocate to SA for nursing school.
:uhoh3:Oh my gosh I cannot believe how badly I am freaking out! I'm also waiting for UTHSCSA. I know I know I have to keep myself busy, I'm trying. When I took the test my printout said the average for the program was 78.7, yeah I wrote it down.:chuckle
actually when I asked them what those meant they said the program average is all the people who had taken the tests before entering ANY BSN program, not UTHSCSA program, and NOT the average of who they let in....however she was very sketchy about what the average was of those that they actually let in.
Yeah, like BSNwannaB said, look at your results page for your TEAS and it will tell you what the UTHSCSA average is and what the national average is. I believe that the UTHSCSA average was right around 77. The national average is a bit lower. It will also tell you what percentile you fall into based on your average.

yup!!! see so I don't know.....it is just another form of torture placed upon us poor waiting souls....maybe tomorrow they will go out...:luvnltr::thnkg:
are you sure? I have heard yes and no about mail on fri? well if its true that there is no mail friday then they better get them out or it won't be until monday.....
Actually I just looked on the USPS website and April 25th is NOT listed as a postal holiday...so we just may receive them on time :)
I wish I had looked up that date before posting on here that it was a postal holiday. Sorry everyone! That just proves that you don't listen to hearsay
BAD NEWS.....I just called and they said they are STILL waiting for registration to get the letters ready so they can sign them and send them out, and hopefully they would be able to do so by tomorrow...lord help me her hopefully did not sound very hopeful....it may very well be next week guys.:smiley_ab
dream2b thanks for calling and keeping us updated!! :rcgtku:I'm such a wimp I'd be afraid they would say 'oh you should stop calling you didn't even get in.' :chair:
