rocket surgery · Mar 4, 2011

@prenursing9892, I am the adm of the FB group, I can't figure out how to accept members from my phone but will accept your request as soon as I get home!
It looks like the FB link is prohibited on AN site, so everyone else who wants to join, search UTHSC SON December 2012!
To everyone who is still waiting, hang in there!!!

Leigh Ann, if you'd like, make a few of us admins as well. That way you won't have to do all the work yourself. :)

Chaos, your GPA's are about the same as mine but your HESI scores are WAY better. Especially the A&P score. I have no doubt you'll get accepted; maybe your application just happens to be at the bottom of the pile. Other threads have said they process all the applications in a big stack- accepted & rejected all mixed together- so if you're at the bottom, it might take a few days before you find out. Definitely don't give up hope yet. :hug:

Thank you for the reassurance! :hug:And for the reminder that this will take some time. I applied way back in mid-November, so maybe I'm towards the bottom of the stack. I still hope to hear something today...especially because if UTLink only gets updated on business days, this will be a verrrry long weekend for those who don't know yet! Big, big hug to Mac031 and everyone else in this boat... :redbeathe

Mac, there are 130 slots- 80 for the Regular program and 50 for the Pacesetter program. I don't believe they sort the applications by accept/reject before they change the holds; there's just a pile of 800 or so applications and they start from the top. Even if they were able to process 100 applications a day, that's still at least 8 business days... and the holds only started changing Wednesday. It's not over yet.

rocket, i really really hope it's not over yet :crying2: thanks for the morale boost :up:

If your Holds change today, your Admission Status should still change tomorrow.

Only the Admission Status is updated once a day. The Holds Status is actually real time. That's why all our holds have changed at different times. So your Holds can be updated at any time, and it will show up in UTLink immediately. Then, when they take down the system at 10pm, they run the Admission updates overnight. That's why the change in your Admission Status is always the day after the change in your Holds Status.

Well I guess nothing will change today. I've been checking all day, and Im starting to give up:crying2:. nursing GPA= 3.5 , science= 4.0 and undergrad= 3.35. Hesi= 90 and CT= 840.

Congratulation to the ones that got accepted.

Hi all,

1. For the CPR certification (make sure it covers Adult and Pedi) fax your card or documentation (if you have it) to:

Atten: Lisa (Maggie is no longer there) at same fax # 713-500-2107

2. Is anyone else having trouble with seeing the Residency requirements page?

3. You might want to start your background check ASAP. I have heard RUMORS in the past that because all the schools kind of let people know around the same time there can be a bottleneck and if you have something come up (Forgotten speeding ticket=warrant or your name being similar to someone else with a record....) you may not have time to clear it up before the fall registration deadline - not to make anyone paranoid - but just get it out of the way in case - it is $49 with everything said and done.

Join the Face book page - Rocket Surgery put up the pre-enrollment requirements - if you talk with anyone at UT and have help info - please post there and here - Thanks!

I am so confused on the Hold Status. Above is what is listed on my "HOLDS" tab but the status still says that my admissions status is pending???

Can anyone help me decipher what this means?

I keep seeing people mention the Hold status and I just want to know what I am facing.

Thanks so much to everyone on all the wonderful information. The process of getting into any nursing school is such a difficult journey. This website is so comforting in that you can talk with others in the same boat.
