Anyone accepted and going to decline? Sincerely, a waitlist girly ?

The very first time I got waitlisted (Fall 2017) I had also received an email saying I had been invited for an interview. I'm guessing they've changed the emails since then because the email they sent me back then was the same email I received my other two times. That first email told me I got an interview FOR ADMISSION. I show up to the interview and I'm told it's to be waitlisted. Of course I'm discouraged and plan to go home and apply for the next semester immediately. The lady I'm talking to then tells me that if I want to be considered for the next application cycle I need to apply for the summer not spring. Of course I ask why and she says "oh because the application closed" I was like "ummmm...when?" and guess when it was? The f*cking day before. I was pissed because this is nothing to them but to me that's an entire semester. So not even a week later I get on the waitlist. With super high hopes, the whole summer goes by and I don't get in. I take some courses at my local community college in the spring and I get an interview in the second round for the summer. I'm so excited and I'm like "of course I'll get in this time. Because I was waitlisted before I must have priority now" (cause that's how a normal waitlist works). So I go to my interview and it goes so well (not exaggerating we really connected). So being the proactive person I am I go ahead and apply for the fall JUST TO BE SAFE (mind you I would have done this the first time but I was mislead in that initial email). After like 3 weeks I see people who interviewed after me are getting accepted and I just tell myself to play it cool because UTMB doesn't have a certain system, my acceptance is coming...so 2 months later I knew it wasn't coming (I kept telling myself it was but I had to be realistic as well). I get A WAITLIST EMAIL again. I'm devastated. Shortly after that I get an interview in the first or second round for the fall (can't remember). I'm like "oh this time it's forsure going to happen" (this whole time UTMB is the only school I had applied to but this time I applied to a couple places for the fall). I wait a couple months and guess what I got today? The same waitlist email :-) it's actually a joke because I emailed Ms. Botello asking why I was told 3-5 weeks 8 WEEKS ago and hadn't heard anything. I asked her that this morning and by the afternoon she sends my waitlist email. Seems to me they've had this decision made up, like why not have the decency to tell me asap? OH and get this. So about a month ago I email Ms. Botello basically telling her this whole situation and what I should do to make myself a better candidate. We talked in detail over the phone after she got the email (she called me not even 5 minutes later). She actually told me I had really high chances of getting off the summer waitlist and told me all my stats were competitive (just doesn't make sense...) and I should go ahead and apply again for spring if the deadline is getting close. So of course I do to be safe. Then the incident this morning happened and now I'm waitlisted again. At this point I'm just pissed. Not to be a downer but those of you who got waitlist interview emails, don't get your hopes up. Being waitlisted is honestly worse than being straight up denied because it gives you so much false hope. I'm saying this out of literal experience. Honestly I've seen like MAYBE two people per semester say they got taken off the waitlist (that doesn't mean there aren't people off this chatroom). I've wasted so much time just holding onto hope from this school who made me feel extremely wanted just to say just kidding. It's actually hurtful that they would treat someone this way and I hope this doesn't happen to anyone else. This fall I'm continuing my studies elsewhere continuing my degree I was working on and who knows. If I get accepted for the spring I'll consider going. Nursing is my ultimate goal and I will end up going no matter what. I just don't know if UTMB is the place for me after all of this. But it is still a superb education and that's why I will keep my options open. Please let me know if anyone has any questions about my experience/application questions/etc. As far as my stats, I don't even really know them...I finished them a year ago now. GPA: 3.3-3.5? (there's so many GPA's calculated I can't keep up) TEAS: 80% overall I don't have stellar stats but obviously you can see they do read personal statements and UTMB has interest in me. They've called me to interview THREE times and I do anticipate another interview invite for the spring. We'll see how it all plays out. Again not to bash UTMB or put anyone's hopes down because I'm still going to chase my dreams, but this is just what I've experienced through their unorganized admission system and just want you to realistically know.

I just received a waitlist email. Honestly I don't know what else to feel but pissed. I have applied four times (including Spring 2019) and have been waitlisted EVERY SINGLE TIME. At this point I don't even know if I want to attend UTMB anymore. It has just been extremely exhausted being lead on. Having the impression over and over that this school wants you and then they just waitlist you over and over. I think it is just so messed up for them to even do that because the point of a waitlist is that next time you have a higher priority. Best of luck to you all!

Yes (well technically, I interviewed for summer and your interview lasts over two semesters). I've been waitlisted twice by UTMB and waiting to hear back about fall now. But I have stopped just depending on UTMB and applied to another school who I should be hearing back form very soon. Of course I'm praying I get in because this is my dream school!

Same I haven't received anything either :/ I emailed her yesterday asking a question, she emailed back almost immediately, then hasn't replied since (question still unanswered). I'm hoping they send out more this week and this isn't all of them

OMG ABOUT TIME! Congrats! If you don't mind me asking, who was the email from?

I'm really hoping they do send an email. It's just common courtesy in my opinion. I've never received one before and I've been on the waitlist twice now. Obviously I know once class starts it's over but an email would be nice. I'm hoping there's some spots once orientation starts!

you don't need to resend transcripts unless it's changed since the last time you applied :)

They told you 5 weeks today???? THAT ACTUALLY MAKES ME FURIOUS because they're so inconsistent. They told me 2 weeks ago 3-5 weeks. Like get your answers straight lol. They should tell you 1-3 weeks but...

I wasn't asked patient type questions but I was asked classmate questions. One main one that stumped me a little that I still think about was something like "your classmate did something you're uncomfortable with...what do you do?" And I was like ummmm...I thought I answered well though. Also I feel like they haven't sent out acceptances in weeks..

Basically feels like I'm gonna have a heart attack if I don't hear back this coming week

They don't tell you anything in terms of reapplying. It's your responsibility to make the deadline (last fall I got an interview BUT FOR THE WAITLIST and the email they sent wasn't clear and made me think I was being interviewed for admission. I missed the deadline BY ONE DAY for the spring cause I wasn't even worried about applying). I found out at the interview I would just be placed on the waitlist if they liked me and then found out I couldn't apply for the spring but for summer. Flash forward, I get another interview for summer and get placed on the waitlist AGAIN. I received the exact same email about being placed on the waitlist so they don't mention what you can improve or anything of the sort. So now I'm currently on the waitlist for the summer and waiting to hear back about my spot for the fall. I'm really praying it's an acceptance because I don't even know what to think of a school who just keeps putting me on the waitlist over and over..like just decline me. I know it's something most people are thankful for but maybe 3 times? It's unfair. Anyways I'm holding out on applying for the spring in the mean time.

Hey guys I applied on 1/5, got contacted for an interview 2/26. I contacted her 3/5 to ask what day to expect to hear something back because I didn't have to interview again due to interviewing (and being waitlisted last semester). Ms. Botello said 3-5 weeks (not sure if this included spring break. I just feel there's no way they could waitlist me again (this would be my THIRD time on the list) so I'm really expecting an acceptance. By what it looks the only people that have been accepted are candidates without interviews and one person after an interview so I expect we'll be getting a wave of acceptances any day (maybe next week). Anyways best of luck to everyone and fingers crossed for those who haven't heard anything! í ¾í´ží ¼í¿½

From what I see, it seems like no one has received an answer after interviews yet

has anyone been taken off the waitlist and offered admission?
