Fall 2011 UT Houston Health Sciences hopefuls

Nguyenchester · Mar 6, 2011

On the Hepatitis B vaccinations, I tried to get the series started through my family doctor, but she refused to administer it because I was already immune and had the titer paperwork for it. Does anyone know if the dates to the series are required when filling out the immunization forms? I don't have any childhood records of the immunizations and all the titers and shots I took were for a CNA course previously, so those are the closest records I have to provide.

mac031 · Mar 7, 2011

i dont really know when the status will be updated, but don't take it as a turn for the worst. keep hoping, you still have a chance. the envelope was post marked march 3rd, but the letter is dated march 11th, 2011. lol. could be a typo and was meant to be march 1st or there was a hurry to crush someone's hopes... who's hopes? this guy. heh. :lol2:

I'm sorry, Mac031 and tuwzee! you are both super qualified so keep trying!

I have still heard and received nothing. Anyone else? This has been the longest weekend EVER...hopefully there will be many more updates to UTLink tomorrow!

So sorry for those who did not get in this round - would re-taking some of your classes improve anything? Re-taking the HESI? No fun, but you gotta do what you gotta do. :rolleyes:

They need to get more Professors= more spots for good candidates.

Best Wishes and keep on trying! They need you out there!

to raise my gpa, i'd have to bump up my A&P 2 from a B to an A, and retake all my previous biology major courses for As. ochem1, ochem2, quantitative analysis, microbio, metabolism, comparative vertebrate anatomy, and immunology. stopped in my tracks 1 year before getting a BS in bio. Guess i'll focus on lonestar adn program as I have applied there too.

Good luck MAC031!!!!!!!!

I am assuming your over all GPA is what got you - correct? Or was it the science GPA? I may have misunderstood them, but the only science I think they look at is A&Ps, Chem (hey take intro - I did), and Nutrition to "make up" the science GPA - don't know if that helps?

Hope you get into Lone Star - I have to giggle every time I say that - I am currently enrolled at Cyfair - and every time I say "Lone Star" I do it in the way Dark Helmet does it in the Mel Brooks movie - Space Balls!!!!!! Yeah, don't do it in front of the administrators - they don't find it as funny as I do.

Best wishes - keep your pecker up!

Oh sorry about the "keep your pecker up!"

My husband, reading over my shoulder, just reminded me that is a British thing not an American thing and could be interrupted in a not to say in front of your mother in law kind of way....

So sorry. :jester:
