   Hemphia, don't stress too bad (easier said than done - trust me, I know!) :) I just about drove myself mad trying to figure out the method to UTMB's madness when I applied last semester. And even after being accepted, I still have no idea how they de...

   I couldn't agree more with punkydoodles!! Things change in the blink of an eye - and as punkydoodles told our class 'the key to surviving this school is flexibility' And she wasn't joking. You kind of have to have the 'I'll believe it when I see it' ...

   It took 5 months before I was invited for an interview - so don't be alarmed if it takes a while. Good luck to everyone :)

   Also - I have a blog about my time at utmb...it's been a work in progress since I've never blogged before (not to mention the lack of free time!) but feel free to check it out! Rocker Ryder also has a good blog! :)

   Sorry I didn't respond sooner! I haven't been on here in a while. To answer your question - yes, there were people who were accepted without an interview but it's very rare. They had to have a straight 4.0 with no withdrawals on their transcripts...a...

   polysaturate - it's been a while since I applied, but I don't remember having to have my transcripts accredited by another company. I know most schools will use SPEEDE to send the transcripts to UTMB electronically, which is what UTMB prefers, but th...

   If I remember correctly there wasn't a specific topic. It was just a 'supporting statement' of why you want to be a nurse, etc.

   I had a 3.1 GPA & scored 89% on my TEAS but i'm with rocket ryder....I had a good essay. The link for the Fall 2012 UTMB applicant forum is: https://allnurses.com/tx-nursing-programs/utmb-fall-2012-a-610589-page3.html

    I agree with ledestiny & punkydoodles...take your time with your statement! My GPA wasn't considered 'competitive' (3.1 overall & my science GPA was significantly low ) and my Teas score was 89% but I had a pretty good supporting statement a...

    Hey everyone :) I was accepted for the Spring 2012 program but will be keeping tabs on this forum to help out in any way. Our class had the same help from a current student (Punkydoodles) and she was a life saver! For those ONLY applying to UTMB, I w...

    I think orientation is only about a week before classes start.

    Same here. I can't go above $600 and I don't have a washer, dryer, OR microwave so it'll be nice to have those included. Anything I can do to save money!

    Yeah, a friend of mine told me about the high school traffic, too. For the price, I might be able to make that sacrifice. My brother lived in Windsor Estates and he like those a lot! They're out of my price range, but those who can afford them should...

    I just looked at some in League City called Signature Point. They quoted me $550 for a 1 bedroom for a 15 month lease (I'm liking that because I want one lease for the whole BSN program and I'm sure they'd extend it a month or two). Washer/Dryer/Micr...
