UTMB and UT Houston and UT Austin Summer/Fall 2008 applicants

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

I have applications in to three schools - UTMB, UT Austin, and UT Houston (UTHSC) and I am waiting (not very patiently, I might add). Just wondering if anyone is applying to these schools could post when you receive an interview/admissions letter. Thanks!

Britt, no problem, will do. Actually I sent an email to UTMBs Dr. Loffredo. (i'm applying to the generic program, by the way) but he inferred that it would be a while longer for me... so I assume that you will hear from them sooner, as your program starts in May. Anyway, yes, if I hear anything I'll let you know :)

Thanks for posting. Good to hear that others are still waiting. Actually I was not accepted into the bacc2 program that starts in May so my application was placed into the applicant pool for Fall. I emailed the preadmissions advisor told me they hope to have their interview selections made by mid to late March. I guess if I don't hear from them by April 1 I'll know my status.

I know this post is a little late, as I'm sure you've heard from those schools by now. But I was just curious as to if any of you got in to UT-houston and was planning on attending this fall?

Just asking cause I'm a student there, well technically now a senior! So I'm just curious to about some of the new juniors.

I'll be starting the accelerated BSN program at UT Houston on May 19. How do you like it there so far? Have you enjoyed your clinicals? Any advice for a soon-to-be student?

Congrats!!

Well I don't really know that much about the accelerated program except that I have mad respect for everyone in it!

If you get the chance, get involved at school with the organizations. There's UTSNA and student goverment. And if you don't really have time for all the meetings, at least try to come out to some of the events. UTHSC hosts several events throughout the year, as well as SON events. Come to as many as you can. Free food is always great!

I'm not entirely sure where the bacc-2 students go for clinicals, but I'm assuming it's most of the same med center places we go. MD Anderson nurses tend to be great with students. St. Luke's is okay if you seek out learning opportunities. I haven't been anywhere else in the med center, so I don't know. Just try to make the most out of your clinical experiences.

Get to know the faculty. Or at least find one faculty member whom you can go to for advice and what not. Most of the faculty members are pretty great, although they all have their off days.

At orientation next friday, there'll be some seniors from SGO and UTSNA there, and I'm sure they'll be glad to answer any questions. The SGO treasurer used to be a bacc-2 student before she switched over to the regular program; she'd be great to talk to.

I wish I could offer you more pearls of wisdom. But if you think of anything you need, you can always send me a message.
