Fall 2017:UT Health Science Center Houston

[ashleyp453]

Hi all!

Thought I would start a thread for the fall semester! Anyone who wants to share their stats or anything about the application process can post them here! My stats as of now...

Pre-nursing GPA: 3.54

Science GPA: 3.67

HESI: 87.7

Pretty worried that my stats aren't good enough. Scored low on the A&P section of the HESI (80%) but made an A in the class...hoping maybe that will help even it out? I get discourage when I read through the other threads and see people get rejected with 4.0 GPA's and 90s on the HESI. I do have 80 volunteering hours at a children's hospital but I doubt that would help me enough.

Yes I decided to stick with utmb!

I also declined my letter from being chosen off the waitlist yesterday to stick with UTMB.

Still on the waitlist, praying I'll get admitted.

hey guys, I recently got accepted and I am anxiously waiting for my UTH account to be updated. Ive been checking my email and account every 5 minutes. Can the people who got accepted earlier tell how long did the update take after you received the acceptance letter? I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks so much

Same here y'all. Still on the waitlist.

@Jules81 when you declined did it change your status on your UTH portal?

After I got accepted, it took 2 days for my account to change.

I'm working on them right now, getting in all my shots.

It hasn't changed yet but it's only been 24 hours so maybe by Monday.

If anyone is looking to live near the campus, I'm looking for potential roommates. If you're interested, let me know!

Hi everyone! Your friendly upperclassman here :) Please feel free to ask me if you have any questions about UT! In addition, do not forget to join the "UTHSC Houston SON Classifieds" Facebook page where a lot of graduated students sell their old textbooks and scrubs.

The Fall will arrive before you know it -- welcome to the program!

Like Ssaa and Jules81, I also declined my offer from UTH to stick with UTMB. Praying for all of you on the waitlist! We'll be seeing you all during clinicals hopefully!!! :)
