UTA Spring 2010

I don't want to be waitlisted either!!!!!!
I am a little nervous too ayeisha because if we find out at the end of september, they will want a response back before I even hear back from TWU in late october, early november. BUT IM STILL EXCITED TO FIND OUT EARLY!

I have a question...
Let's say you are waitlisted at UTA, but accepted at UTMB (or another school). What if you take the spot at UTMB, but then a spot opens up at UTA and they contact you to fill the spot? What are the consequences from UTMB if you tell them you dont want to go there because you want to go to UTA? Are there any consequences, other than the fact that it is a little unprofessional? I know for medical school that once you commit, you commit and that's that. What do you guys think?

yah, thanks. That makes sense. I'm not quite sure who to ask to make sure.

so I'm guessing that no one has heard any new news yet? I have been freaking out and going to get the mail everyday at 4 pm since ayeisha told us there was no interview. Originally, Justin said we were going to get letters for an interview this week. Now that there is no interview, do you guys think that we will get letters of acceptance/rejection this week then? I know he said end of September, but does this count? lol. I don't think this is what he meant by end of Sept. but I am getting more and more restless and weirded out every additional day that we wait. We turned in applications by Jun 1; what is taking so long to decide?

I wouldn't worry about what he said because a lot of people over-exagerate stuff. Maybe his friend interviewed really poorly. At the sophomore success event, Justin said himself that the cutoff GPA for Fall 2009 was 3.6. For Spring 2009 it was 3.5, and for the Fall 2008, it was 3.7. I wrote it down. He also mentioned that around 450 applied, and out of those 450, about 100 to 150 were not eligible (as in they didnt take the HESI, didn't meet the minimum GPA, etc.). So really, that is 300 to 350 people we are competing against. I am worried, but I have also learned to take everything I have heard with a grain of salt. I do not have a 4.0, but Justin was extremely confident in my application, and he told me, in an advisory session, that I would pretty much get an interview but he couldn't put that on paper because it was not an official statement. And he said if you get an interview, you are pretty much in as long as you show up dressed nice, can speak confidently and coherently, and show up on time. Since there are not having interviews, though, now there is not that initial buffer of people skipping interviews, people not dressing nicely, people not being able to talk coherently, so maybe they will accepting people they might not normally have if they had the interview. I am still confident in my application and feel stongly about it but at the same time just plain freaking out. I just want to know! I think we will find out the week of the 28th as well, but I am just trying to fool myself into thinking it will be before lol. I guess that is just a week and a half away, but seems so long from now. *sigh*
