sorry delete post

Yes, We had our interview for the fast track summer 2009 program on Friday March 13. The "fast track" program is a generic BSN program, so you are not required to have a bachelor degree in another field or an ADN RN degree.

Do you guys know what we should do abt financial aid? I did my Fafsa earlier this year.. but.. we can't do anything until we're accepted right?!

mathwizard · Mar 16, 2009

Yeah I assume when accepted the aid department will contact you. But you could call them and ask. I get all my stuff from military so mine is a little simpler. Also award letters for 2009-2010 school year dont usually go out until like june I think. So any aid for 2008-09 is probably already awarded. It is really confusing stuff for sure. I was wondering about scholarships because all these different semester starts, it makes it really hard to apply for any if you wanted to. I guess I dont have any answers on this just more questions myself sorry LOL!

Mathwizard, I also applied to the local galveston college nursing program...i'm not home to check if I got in...do you mind if I ask you what your prerequisite gpa was and overall? I have a 2.7 for prerequisite and 3.1 for overall...do you think I got into??? I'm so nervous....

mathwizard · Mar 18, 2009

my prereq was 3.2 and overall 3.65. but usually as long as you meet minumum gpa of 2.5 you are okay I think. but they look at other factors like how many drops and other inidicators that show you will finish the program and not quit after a couple of months. I would say u probably got in if you met min requirements including background ck and net test score etc... I heard they barely had enough applicants to fill the class this year due to hurricane. Also if you didnt get accepted dont give up because many will likely choose to go somewhere else like UTMB later when BSN acceptances letters are mailed out. Goodluck

Hey guys.. do u know how they're going to let us know that we're in.. through our personal email or an acceptance letter by mail?

Bazooka · Mar 18, 2009

I am not completely sure, but I think they send you an e-mail first. Then they mail you a packet of information through the post office....I think that's what happens. Also, if you check the status on your e-connect it might update early, but I'm not completely sure. I know that this week is UTMB spring break, and it might take a week and a half to two weeks for them to get the e-mails out. Good luck!!

I had a question for you guys regarding GPA. I am calculating my Science GPA and these are the classes I am taking into account: A&PI, A&PII, Micro, Chemistry, Nutrition & Human Growth and Development (and Pathophysiology when I finish it). My question is, do I need to add Sociology and Psychology in that as well? Also, am I missing any other classes for my science GPA?

Bazooka · Mar 20, 2009

I included sociology and psychology when I calculated mine. Go to this link:

Go to BSN pre-licensure program. That gives you a form to help with calculating the GPA. This is what I used, and I calculated the science gpa using all the sciences (including statistics).

Thanks!! That helps a lot. I called UTMB to find out if they used those courses in their GPA calculation, but was unable to find an answer.
