    gg - congrats on getting in. if you don't have your shot records, you can have a serum antibody titer to show that you have been immunized for the measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella. That is what I will probably have to do because I cannot eve...

  10. Mya2bRN - thanks for being blunt and picking up on that comment. It's not that I do not like people, I think it is that people can affect me so tremendously at times. They intimidate me and can cut through me with their words, especially when they ...
  11. UT Houston Summer 2010 Accelerated Program

    I dream - I am sure you will make it! I believe that people will be finding out if they are in for the next few weeks. From reading past threads, I saw that it was like a trickle of people finding out on different days. PLUS, they have to go in a...

  14. UT Houston Summer 2010 Accelerated Program

    I just checked UTLINK and I have been granted provisional acceptance! AAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!
  15. UT Houston Summer 2010 Accelerated Program

    Yeah, I think that they let you know if you are accepted before they send out the admissions packets. This is what I gather from reading past threads as well, Lovetexas. So I still am holding out for March 15th for when they start letting us know i...

    bach09 - volunteering as a medical assistant I would think would be GREAT experience for this. I would say that you definitely have that going for you. By the way, where were you able to volunteer as a med assistant? I work at Methodist and I trie...

  20. UT Houston Summer 2010 Accelerated Program

    This wait is killing me!!! Even though I know that we will not hear anything until late March, I still check my UTLink every day. How pathetic! I feel like I should be calling and emailing the UTHSC SON staff every day about how badly I want into ...
  21. UT Houston Summer 2010 Accelerated Program

    Well I called several times and finally spoke to someone about the transcript evaluation so they should FINALLY send me one within the week. I am taking Philosophy, Art Appreciation, and Govt II since I didn't do so well in the second Govt in colleg...

  24. UT Houston Summer 2010 Accelerated Program

    Yes, she asked me the same about my A&P's. Those were hands down my favorite classes. I took mine at A&M and she said that all of the Community Health Ed majors from A&M did very well in the program. I hope that is a good sign because ...
  25. UT Houston Summer 2010 Accelerated Program

    Aggiehorn, I was there yesterday too and like you, I felt that the interview went well. Today, I am going absolutely insane and this is only day one of waiting! I have to admit that I have already obsessively checked my UTLink to see if there was a...
