Fall 2011 UT Houston Health Sciences hopefuls

Published

I am a ut houston hopeful applying for the pacesetter and traditional programs for fall 2011! I will be done with my pre-req's: engl 1302 and hist 1302 this spring 2011. I plan on taking the hesi the beginning of December since the deadline for ut-houston has been changed to Jan 15. 2011. I wish everybody good luck as were getting down to the wire!!1 Anyone else out there?

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:

LOL! Thanks for clearing that up :) I definitely did a bit of a double take! And thank you as well for the good wishes to those still waiting...hope some of us get good news this week!

Still no news whatsoever here---no changes in holds, no letters (acceptance or rejection). I just want to know either way...in the meantime am focusing on other schools.

I received a provisional acceptance on the UTLink last week. The Link said acceptance letter was in the mail-probably get something this week or next.

I'm wondering if any of you can offer some advice on the housing in the medical center area, preferable on the shuttle line. I don't know the area and, from what I can gather, the university housing is kind of tough to get. So . . . anybody familiar enough with the area to offer some suggestions or insights?

Texasnurse2010, join our Facebook group- we've started a housing thread with roommate requests and housing suggestions. Search for "UTHSC SON December 2012."

Chaos, you've been in my thoughts the past few days. I was really hoping you'd hear good news by now! Maybe they wait-listed you? Since letters are already being sent out, I don't think it would hurt to call and ask for an admissions update. What's the worst they can tell you? A bad answer is better than no answer at all, right? :hug:

chaos0058 - hope you hear good news soon!

texasnurse2010 - have you tried searching rent.com? you can search specifically for apartments in the medical center, most of which are pretty safe. rent.com will even give you a $100 reward card if you report to them that you found your apartment through their website.

generally speaking, the nice apartments in the medical center run anywhere from $800-$2000/month.

My status changed to: You have been admitted to the program for the term shown above but I have not gotten the letter yet.

I started working on my holds and found a new one today called "Nursing School' student affairs" and it says to contact the student affairs office. Would anyone happen to know what this hold indicates?

Check the mail today - no letter!!!!

I guess they went to a special place in the amazon to cut down the special acceptance letter paper tree, floating it back down the Amazon River, grinding it, bleaching in, pressing it to make the paper to send us the letter? Don't even get me started on what they are having to do to make the ink....

Seriously, this sounds so illogical, but until I have the letter in my hand I am not 100% convinced that I made it....okay, until I am in the chair of my first class - THEN I'll accept I made it....where are my tums?

I got a rejection letter today, folks...so I'm out. Not to sound cocky or whatever but I did think I at least might get waitlisted, you know? Oh well.

I think what I'm most sad about is that I won't get to be in school with all of you---you seem like an awesome group of people and I think you'll all be tremendously successful :) Good luck at UT!

As for me, I applied several places but UTHSC and UTMB have been my top two...so I'll be focusing all my energy toward Galveston. I wrote a killer essay, and hopefully that + interview will get me in there!
