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!

Has anyone heard about pacesetter?

Apparently those of us accepted have not been told yet which program we were accepted into....

I was accepted and told that I needed to have background check, drug screening, immunization and health screening, and CPR certification all done by May 16. So I would guess people start falling off around that time (they don't turn the stuff in on time, etc...) So I would assume waitlisters would be notified late May. Just a guess though.

@Savwiley - what program were accepted into? Summer?

@nyctransplant:

Fall 2012. Sorry should have clarified. I am new to the site and was reading previous posts to catch myself up. I am worried though I got the acceptance e-mail, then green check, then I accepted, and then my status changed to the yellow triangle with a lot of "to-do" items, but NO LETTER in the mail at all yet?!?! I am scared they accidentally accepted me (and didn't mean to) or something :p That would be so horribly and ethically wrong for them to mess up like that. I just need the acceptance in my hands to believe it. Has anyone else not received a letter by mail but was accepted on MyUT?

@Savwiley - I thought you might have been accepted into Summer because you said a deadline of May 16. I think I know what you're talking about -- is that the date you see in your "To Do" list on myUTH? I believe that's just a date place holder. All that stuff on the list needs to be done before the program starts. May 16th is too soon! But of course, you should get started. Do you have gmail? Check your spam. A lot of us found our acceptance info in our spam folders. As far as the official postal letter goes, I got mine the end of last week. I'm sure yours is on its way! Also, you should join our fb page. Search uthsc and our class.

For anyone who is taking the HESI, I have some A&P questions, a critical thinking book (PDF) that might help (Fundamentals Success A Course Review Applying Critical Thinking to Test Taking) a suggestion guide that I made, and some other things that might help, if anyone wants these, post or send me your email.

Would it be possible for you to send me a copy of the Critical Thinking info you have for the HESI?? My email addy is [email protected]! Thanks!

Wow. That's old, but if I find those things I will send them.

Don't lose hope guys !!! People were pulled off the wait list up until the first week of class for Spring 2012. I know of at least 10 people that got in that were on the wait list. Work on getting your "holds" removed, so if you do get called, you can start right away.

katybusymom- thank you for the information. I've been wondering if people from the wait list actually got in and how many of them did. I know it's different each semester, but it's still good to know that at least 10 applicants from the list were admitted to the spring 2012 semester. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!!!

Not sure if anyone is still reading this thread, but I'm wondering if any other applicants that are also on the wait list have heard anything??????
