Hi everyone! I am a first semester nursing student (started Spring 2011) at UTMB. I was in your shoes just a few months ago, and would be happy to help answer any questions you may have about your upcoming nursing education at UTMB. If you are o...

Hi girldance, I really do not know how they ranked the waitlisters. Just don't give up hope. I've even heard of times when a waitlister was called in the first day of orientation because someone didn't show up. Cheers!

I'm sorry, I don't know how many were accepted from the wait list. I think there were a total of 20 initially, though if that helps.

I'm really excited about meeting up too! What an awesome adventure we are on! Life is good!

Let's just decide to meet Sunday, Jan 2 at 7pm. The Original Mexican Cafe has great food and delicious drinks and should be able to accomodate a good sized group. Let me know if this works for most people and if the concensus is good then I will po...

Thanks mystme3! I couldn't be more thrilled! I am available whenever and wherever. :)

Hi everyone! Was there ever a date set for a meet up before orientation? If so, could someone please post the details. If not, let's make a plan to meet up! :)

Hey everyone! Just wanted to let you know that I FINALLY received an acceptance letter after being put on the waitlist! Whoo HOO! So happy to be joining all of you next month! Cheers!

Hey everyone! I was wondering if any of you had any classmates that were accepted to UTMB for the Spring 2011, but that plan to decline their offer? I am currently on the waitlist and am holding out hope. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

I'm sad to report that I have been waitlisted, but I still have hope to join you in January. I know alot of students apply to multiple schools and just hope that enough decline UTMB for me to get their spot. Congrats to all who have been accepted!...

Also, could someone please post a link to the facebook page that has been created so it is easier to track down? Thanks!

Hi everyone, I interviewed on the 15th and haven't heard anything yet. For those of you who have been accepted, could you please post when your econnect changes? Thanks! Cheers!

hey beck.lclm, Congrats! Do you happen to live in the Galveston/Houston area? I am still anxiously waiting an email or letter, but I am in the Austin area and I am hoping to receive my letter on Monday.

For those of you who received an email today, can you tell me what time the email was stamped and who it was from? You can use their intials, since no names should be mentioned on here. Thx

LindsayPaige, Could you please email me your list? My email is username @yahoo.com. Thanks so much! Also congrats on those who received notice today. I'm still waiting to hear...hmm...

LindsayPaige, Check out http://son.utmb.edu/ On the right there is a link that says "Spring Book List" The link takes you to the book store, choose SON and then BSN Traditional JR. Some classes have multiple books. Cheers!

Ok, so I broke down and called UTMB today and am afraid we are still in for a bit of a wait. I was told that they are still narrowing down the candidates and that letters/emails could go out as late as the end of next week, but hopefully sooner. Sh...

Anyone receive any mail from UTMB today?

Emailed UTMB today, and received a quick reply stating that decision letters for October 15 interviews will go out next week. Good Luck everyone!

Hey October 15 interviewees! Any news today? Are we REALLY gonna have to wait ALL week? I might be bald by then! HA HA HA Cheers!

Congrats on a successful interview day! I appreciate you sharing your experiences. My interview is next Friday, and I can't wait. Please let us know when you hear from admissions. Also, was there anything you wish you had brought with you like a r...

Hi Kelly, I was wondering...did you or any of your classmates take Pathophysiology before beginning the nursing program? If so, was it helpful? I understand that it is not transferrable, but I am taking it just to help with that first semester. Als...

Just saw this posted on the UTMB SON webpage: Spring 2011 Applicant Update: The last day of applicant interviews for Spring 2011 will be held on Friday, November 5, 2010. Applicants should expect to receive notification regarding admissions for Spri...
