UTMB Summer 2015 - anyone?

Nursing Students School Programs

Published

Hello,

I've applied to UTMB starting in May of 2015.

I had not seen any posts regarding this so I though I would get it going.

All my stuff is with the school and my "mystar" is up and going.

97th Percentile TEAS

4.0 Science

3.10 B.B.A. of finance

Anyone have any idea of when we might hear something?

I talked to the school on several occasions and found the following to be true

There are quite a few less people applying to the Spring and especially the Summer sessions, especially the summer bc this is the 1st one.

They told me I would be lucky to hear anything on my application until the very end of October.

They told me a few people are accepted without an interview but this is a handful.

Good luck!

I got notice from NursingCas that my application has been verified. So I should be getting my supplemental application from UTMB soon! Yay! My husband and I went down to Galveston to visit the campus today. It made it all feel so real. Can't believe our applications are almost due and we could know whether we got in by christmas. I feel like this forum is so bare. Is there another one I don't know about? Good luck everyone!! Hopeful we all get in!

Hi everyone! I went to the open house at UTMB on Friday. It was very informative. So basically I found out that they are accepting roughly 80 applicants for Summer and that, so far, a 3.2 GPA and a 70% overall or higher on the TEAS V are competitive for the Summer 2015 application period. They also said that they really look at the overall "whole package" of each applicants. So best of luck to all of us! The last email I received from the SON just said that my application was complete and that they would be reviewing the applications over the next few weeks and contacting people for interviews, but that the whole process could take 14-16 weeks.

Thank you Nurse_J_low,

This was very Helpful.

I'm also applying to the program. I'm really nervous, I submitted my application 10/10/14 and my transcript from one of my schools has not yet been cleared and its been awhile. Hopefully everything will work out, this coming week. Good luck to everyone who is applying :)

Wait, you received and email from the school? I didn't get one. Did anyone else get that?

It was not anything special. Just a generic type letter that read the following:

Thank you for your interest in the UTMB School of Nursing. Your application has been verified by Nursing CAS, and we have received all the documentation required to review your application. The next steps are as follows:

Over the next several weeks, the Admissions and Progressions Committee will meet to review applications. You may be requested to come to campus for an interview. Please watch your emails for information regarding an interview.

The committee uses the information gathered from the interviews in conjunction with your application to make the final decisions regarding admissions. It can take 12-16 weeks from the application submission deadline to finalize all admission decisions. (For example, if the deadline to apply for the program is January 31, all admission decisions may not be completed until the end of May).

You will receive final notification regarding your application via email. Your contact information is taken directly from your UTMB MyStar account. Please ensure your information is up to date. In accordance with School of Nursing policies and to protect your privacy, decision information will only be provided via email or standard mail. Admissions decisions cannot be provided over the phone.

Thank you again for your interest, and we will get back with you as soon as the Admissions Committee reviews your file.

No that's what I was saying. It was just a generic letter. No worries! ?
