Hi guys! I have a question for those who have completed their immunization hold without health insurance. Are there any places yall recommend that is more cost efficient for any portion of the immunization tests and vaccines required? 

I went to Legacy Community Health. I only paid about $80 total – that covered my titers (blood test) and they also helped me finish my immunization shots. They work on a sliding scale, so they don't stress you about insurance. You just fill out a form, they draw your blood for the titers, then call you back to come get whatever vaccines you're missing.

Another good option is Harris County Public Health under the Adult Safety Net program. That place is mainly for adults 19+ with no insurance. They offer a bunch of vaccines like Hep B, MMR, Tdap, Varicella, etc., either free or really low-cost. They don't always do titers there, but if you just need the vaccines, it's super affordable.

[Ugh Yes]

Has anyone heard anything today?

I give up y'all. Best of luck to those still waiting. My eyes are now off of UT. I felt like my emotions have been played with since the scholarship email.

[Ugh Yes]

I'd have to agree with you on that. Not just the scholarship but the calls telling us to expect good news. Yeahhhhhh right

Will you be applying for Summer 2026. Based on old forums, when they start sending rejections letters, that mean seats has been filled. And I have a good feeling.

In past cohorts it also kind of looked like rejections were all sent out on the same day. We just need to be positive! We don't know until they send us a decision. Either way, it'll be okay. I probably will be applying for Summer

Any updates for people who are still waiting on acceptance? Did anyone receive an email if they got in or not today ? I heard someone who got rejected today that also received the scholarship email. So things are kinda messed up.
