   Ask your primary care provider to order bloodwork to check your titers. I did this during the spring and all childhood boosters showed. Basically, they check to see if you will have antibodies in your system against a particular "disease/illness". ...

   Well, based on how they did things for the folks that applied for Fall 2011, they first sent out an email and then an "official" letter was sent out by USPS, but things have changed a bit since the Fall applicants and things may be different...I hope...

   Me too! Nothing as of yet. I was told by UTHSCSA that they were wanting to get all letters out by today's date, but was told, "...no promises..." Hopefully today will be the day! It seems we all have been waiting so long, not only are my fingers ...

   girlwarrior, an email should go out first, then our "packet". The packet is sent via email. We will also receive a paper copy of our acceptance letter. All this info is based on how they did things for fall 2011 students, of course, it seems as th...

    girlwarrior and jp1180, UTHSCSA knows that the Alamo Colleges has a longer than normal processing time for all transcripts. I can't say if they would allow us to submit "unofficial" transcripts to their office as they are using NursingCas, but it is...

    Well, as usual, we are all in the same boat. I applied to UTHSCSA for Fall 2011 but was on the waitlist. I was told that Fall was the first time they didn't have people withdrawl from the program. In addition, I heard there were about 20 people th...

    800 characters with spaces, punctuation, etc. I am really counting on knowing something soon. Hopefully it won't take them more than 2 weeks to process through everyone. I heard there were significantly less applicants and as long as you didn't bo...
