UAB Fall 2010

Bucknangler----Baylor (according to their FAQ) has about 130 Apps to 15 slots, about 9 to 1 ratio. So UAB with 400 Apps for 70-75 slots isn't out of line with less than a 6 to 1 ratio.

Having driven in Houston I would think those nurses living in Texas might steer clear of Baylor due to the traffic!

203 is a lot better than 400! Around 3:1 Apps to accepted. Nearly doubles the odds! If they interview 2 for each slot then they cut 1 in 3 based on grades, GRE, experience, recs, etc.

Be careful looking at the Mobile numbers and think you only have a low percentage of getting in, you don't know how many people that applied will be in the Mobile pool. It could be that only 15 or 20 of those 203 are in the pool for Mobile. UAB assign people to pools based on their idea of how close you are to a particular site.

My wife applied and we are in Huntsville. Any idea how many are taken up here?

I'm not a nurse just married to one, good luck to all of you.

UMMC, Jackson, Mississippi.

Does anyone have an idea of when UAB lets people know if they will have an interview?

I read some older threads on UAB and saw some people having interviews as early as November, but have also seen Huntsville candidates having interviews in early February.

I am hoping and praying my wife gets an interview...she is great in those situations; standardized tests not so much.

I was told by a friend of mine in the program that invites for interviews would go out in November, and interviews would be held in January. I am not sure if this is dependent upon which clinical component you apply to or not. Seems like a long time to wait though.

Let me know if you hear different.

later,

Anyone know how many people applied to the Montgomery component? This is my first year applying..and I am anxious to see how many more folks are out there. I heard that there about 20 that applied but only 10 will interview and only 5 will get in.

Hey I did some snooping... I was told that 89 applicants for the Birmingham component....25 will be accepted and the letters will go out around Thanksgiving..Hope this information helps.....

Sleepeasy---Do you have any info on the other clinical sites? Applicant # and # they accept?
