The BACC2 director (for us it graduating in Dec. is Dr. Al-Arabi) will send out a Spring semester calendar sometime in the beginning/middle of December. Be aware that in January and March you will be...

The days on campus really varies. Anytime you're starting a new course that has clinicals, plan to be there 2-4 extra days for skills labs. Also for Health Assessment, which you will take in January....

I am also in the 2011 BACC2 class with JThig, and I just wanted to reinforce a few things he said to you guys. I would say the biggest thing you need to know about the program is the online format...
Just wanted to start a thread to see how many others have applied to the BACC2 program and hopefully we can keep track when interviews start, letters get sent, etc. So, have you sent in your...
Yeah, it was just listed in the middle of the list of my loans and only said "Salute to Nursing". That is what the fundraiser is called that UTMB holds every year. From what I've heard/read, th...
I was wondering if anyone checked the financial aide portal recently and noticed the "Salute to Nursing" grant that is posted? I'm assuming that this is the fundraiser grant that's given to the BACC2...
Update on log in info for the Financial Aid portal: I emailed UTMB and was told that the man who is in charge of granting access is out today, but that they are switching over to a new computer system...
I'm in the same boat as greengold. Still waiting for my login info. Enrollment services emailed my form to security on Friday, so I figure if I don't hear back by this Friday, I'll give them a call...
The non-disclosure form is the same one that is in the acceptance packet, so if you've already mailed that in they will contact you via email when they process it. If you haven't sent it in yet,...
Thanks lexi loo! I was just able to accept. I'm so excited to meet all of you in January! JThig and hrphan- Keep your hopes up! There will be many that don't accept their invitations, so hopefully...
Hmmm...Legally, I don't think that there's anything they can hold you to at this stage, but I'm not a lawyer. It probably doesn't thrill UTMB when people do that, but I don't know exactly how much of...
The background check was $48.71 back in July, so I would assume it would still be about the same. My econnect is still the same. Were you guys able to accept your invitation
Threads from previous classes said that it took several days for the econnect acceptance to show. But when it did, it shows up as soon as you login. It takes you right to a screen that makes you...
According to the SON website, January 4-6 are orientation days, which I know are manditory. As for the first official day of class for BACC2, I don't know if it will be that next Tuesday (1/11) or...
As for the TEAS, I forgot to let you guys know that I got that information directly from the Director of the BACC2 program. I emailed her when I noticed that on the website and she said that it's not...
It is required for the Spring 2012 applicants, but it wasn't for the Spring 2011. So all of you out there who didn't take it for this coming January, don't you worry! Lindsay, did you decide if...
I would do a search, especially in the Spring 2010 and Fall 2010 threads because many questions have been posted in the past. I'm not trying to be difficult, but I don't want to make waves by helping...
They are usually one-on-one, but on Friday they were really behind. Almost two hours behind. So there was at least one time when they had two people go with one interviewer. That was definitely the...
From reading threads for previous years, I think that they will hold additional interview sessions after the first set of interviewees (Sept. 24, Oct. 4 & 15) have been accepted/rejected. I read...
One of the staff said that yesterday was the only day for BACC2 interviews and that they were interviewing 85. But the confusing part is that she said there is a "waitlist" and eventually they would...
I saw this posted on the UTMB website and didn't know if everyone knew about it yet, so here you go! Spring 2011 Applicant Update The last day of applicant interviews for Spring 2011 will be held on...
