UTHSC-Houston Fall 2012 Applicants

U.S.A. Texas

Published

Hello everyone! This thread is for everyone applying to the University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston. I believe they will be accepting applications from January 15-April 1, so the sooner the better! Their admission requirements are pretty standard:

Minimum Pre-Req Gpa: 2.75

Minimum Science Gpa: 3.0

Minimum HESI A2 score: 75% or higher on all required sections - math, reading comprehension, vocabulary/general knowledge, grammar, anatomy and physiology, critical thinking.

My info is really not that competitive, but I'm going to give it a shot anyways -

Pre-Req Gpa: 3.30

Science Gpa: 3.0 (Barely cutting it! :crying2: )

Overall Gpa: 3.28

Hesi score: 93.3% overall, with my lowest score being a 90.

My gpa is not the best, but I still have 3 more classes to finish this semester, and I'm aiming for all A's! I think the best thing I have going for me is my HESI scores.

Anyone else planning on applying? What are your stats? Any questions? Lets hear them, and good luck to all who are applying!

Still.............Nothing! Just the yellow triangle that has always been there, no mail, no email! :eek:

For those who haven't heard anything, maybe you should try calling tomorrow!

I would think hearing nothing is a good sign!

Hi everyone, I'm new to this thread and I just got my acceptance email today at around 3pm. So for those who are still waiting, please do not give up any hope! I was wondering though... do I need to officially accept on my myUTH? I just see the check mark but I am not sure if I need to officially accept online.

@jimbee - yes, you should accept online. Your status will change and your TODO list will have more stuff in it. Also, you will get an email from Admissions with a couple of documents that you need to go over! Congratulations!!!!

@nyctransplant, Thank you for your response and the information. I'll be sure to be on the look out for that! :)

jimbee - Please join us on the FB page :) Search for UTHSC SON Class of December 2013! See ya there!

Congrats btw!!

@Hemphia I don't have a Facebook but as soon as I make one, I'll be sure to join. Thank you and congrats to you as well!!

Thanks! The FB page has a lot of information that will help answer any questions you might have and help guide you on this journey.... This way you are not taking this journey on your own. Cannot wait to have another face :)

@Hemphia Absolutely!! I am already getting nervous that I'm missing something... Btw how long did it take for you to receive a follow up email from UT after your accepted your admission? Also, what made you choose UTHSC over any other school you applied to?

You should only get the one email telling you that you were accepted into the program. I got mine before I actually accepted.

As for what helped me decide why UTHSC was the right choice for me, well there are many reasons but they are my reasons. I hope that makes sense.... The best advice I can give is for you to do a little research, if you haven't already, and determine what your future goals are. I know that I want to be a CRNA, and they offer one of the two programs in Houston area. I know that the school is closer to me, a lot closer than UTMB. I am unsure as to what other programs you are comparing to, but I can tell you that there are lots of individuals out there more than willing to answer any questions you might have. Put a lot of thought into your choice, but also make sure you WANT that school. My #1 choice was UTHSC.... But I didn't expect to actually get in. UTMB is a wonderful school and I almost chose them, but UTHSC still has my heart.

I hope that I was able to help you out some..... Good Luck in your choice!

Congrats to everyone who got accepted and best of luck to everyone waiting.
