Umm, I think it kinda didn't happen as they planned for our class. They were originally going to accept 60 students. Then, those that declined the offer, they were going to open spots and call the people on the waiting list. However, right now it seems as if we have around 50ish students in our class, so I guess they weren't able to call or fill up spots as they had wished for our class, but it's fine. It is okay so far. We just finished the first week and I am almost finished buying everything I need, but I feel a little behind since I didn't get a notice..but that's okay. I am trying to catch up on my studying.. but its tough. Let me know how your interviews go!!

When is the interview date for you guys?

Those of you that got interview emails, CONGRATSSS!!! You are truly lucky to have gotten this opportunity. If you guys want tips on what questions they will ask, you can read our old forum, "UTMB Summer 2009 Applicants" since we had a lot of people give tips on there. Also, here are some questions I can remember people stated (remember, I did not get an interview so I don't have first hand experience). "Why do you want to attend UTMB, Why do you want to be a nurse, What is your backup plan if you do not get accepted to UTMB, and if you have any questions for them" Always always ask them questions as it tells them how interested you are in their school. Secondly, for those of you that did not get an interview email, hang in there! Many people got letters way letter, and we had 2 people, including myself, that did not get an interview, but were called at the last minute to say that we were accepted. So do not be discouraged, it may happen for you!! If you guys need any other help, let me know!! I am truly happy I made it this far and am happy to help anyone that needs advice! =)

I applied to TWU, UTHSC, HBU and PVAMU. I got accepted to PVAMU and sent them all my information, but since I got a call from UTMB, I chose to go there instead. I need to let them know that I won't be attending. Where all have you applied? It's always good to have a backup plan in case your number school isn't what you get.

lol yeahh, I am not sure why people are not responding on this one. However, I do know that some of the people that replied here have got accepted elsewhere and decided to go there since UTMB is kind of slow after the hurricane. Anyhow, I did not get an interview. They just called me and told me that I was accepted and sent me all the information. It was hectic but hey, I'm not complaining! lol Now comes the hard part, making it through nursing school! (eek!)

yes, I found out reallyyy late, but I accepted the offer. Thanks so much!!! =)

I can't figure out how download the software on the itouch. grr! i guess i will need to have someone help me tomorrow

I was wondering if the Tmobile G1 will work instead of a PDA or the I-Touch. Does anyone know?

Thanks so much Alex and RocketsSON! Alex: Have you already bought all your books and PDA along with the programs yet? I was reading back and noticed that some people said there are some packages we have to buy directly from the book store. I am just wondering so that I know if I should order them online, or wait to get them from UTMB Book store. Thanks

No, I was going to call UTMB tomorrow and going to talk to my current professors tomorrow as well. I was just wondering if you had any suggestions

RocketsSON, I am having some schedule conflicts. Classes for UTMB start on May 4 and I have a final on May 6. Do you know what I should do about that?

Hey Everyone!! I just wanted to let you all know that I got a call from UTMB and they asked me if I still wanted to attend for the Summer! I said yes and they sent me some emails regarding orientation and the PDA. However, I didn't receive anything for Financial Aid. I still need to buy books, the PDA and send out Financial Aid information. I also need to clear my schedule for Friday. I am in a real panic. If anyone could help me out by sending me the information that they received from the school, it would really help. Also, do you guys know if we need the books by orientation? Because I am not sure if that is possible. Thanks so much for all you guys' help!

Anyone hear anything about Fall acceptance?

I would think it would be easier to apply to the Bacc2 Program, but I do not have a Bachelors degree so I am not too sure.

Hey guys, in order to apply for nursing, was it required to turn in a paper copy of the application? Or just fill out the apply 4 it application online? I am not even sure what my 3rd choice of college was. I know I had Cy-Fair, then Tomball. Not sure what I put for my last choice.
