Still haven’t heard back from nursing, but was admitted to my second choice major in the college of engineering for Biomed. I applied in October sometime and was accepted in early December.
My daughter applied to UTK on 10/29, was admitted into her second choice major, Nutrition on 11/18, but we still haven’t heard about nursing either. Hope decisions will be released soon, she is super excited and UTK is on the top of her list. Fingers crossed.
My daughter has been accepted into this program and is very excited! It’s in her top 3 at this point. Looking to get feedback from any current UT nursing students/their parents as to how happy they are, etc. Would love any advice/feedback. Big decision!
TSlope, Congratulations to your daughter! It is on the top of my daughter’s list too. We are still waiting on a decision. She was accepted to the university on Nov 15th so we had hoped for a decision by now. When did your daughter apply? Did she find out through her portal, email or a letter in the mail?
What other schools did your daughter apply to? Praying for some good news soon! Congratulations again!!
Congrats @TSlope ! My daughter is a freshman nursing student at UTK and she loves it.
The nursing program is rigorous the first semester with Bio, Chem, Calculus, English and Psych. The program is designed to finish the general education requirements during the first 2 years so the junior and senior years are only nursing classes and clinicals. It’s direct entry but they must maintain a 3.2 GPA at the end of their sophomore year to advance into the upper class program.
If your daughter does deiced on UTK, I’d apply for The Pulse Living and Learning Community (LLC) ASAP. It’s a fabulous program. All the nursing students live in the same dorm. Since they mostly take the same classes, they study together. It only lasts the first semester but, they live in the dorm their entire freshman year.

BTW, the dean of nursing is an absolute delight. In fact, the nursing staff at UTK could not have been more friendly and welcoming to us.
Hope this helps.
So great to hear! Can’t thank you enough for this feedback!
