i don't know what other people had in their interview emails, but this is what mine said: as indicated on our website, http://www.son.utmb.eduapplicants are required to undergo and pass a criminal...
Hey Lindsey! I was at the open house a couple weeks ago and the asst. dean said you aren't allowed to work when you're in the BACC2 programs. Some current students talked to us that were in the 4...
Sorry, I should have given a little more info with my last post. According to what they said at the open house, they would like it if you had the background done by/around the interview date. The...

Don't think of it as trying to gain sympathy votes. They want to know how your circumstances impacted your grades and that's why they even list that as a topic for the essay. If you don't write...

I completely agree with mathwizard about the essay. Put your heart into it, explain the challenges you had in school with your illness, but also what you learned from your experience (especially if...
kitcait08- Don't worry, the person I sent my email to left a message for me on 2 different #'s and emailed me the info. So when they get to your request for an appointment time, you'll know. I'm...
MT56- I think we may be talking about the same person after all. I just checked her title and it is Assoc. Dean. The "Dr." is who I'm talking about. I'm sorry you've had such a rough time with...
MT56- I would try talking emailing the Dean of admissions (I'd put her name, but they'll just delete it in a few hours). I was at the open house this weekend and she was super nice and helpful. The...
I was at the open house today and the dean of admissions said they will be accepting 80 for the traditional and 80 for the BACC2 for Spring 2011. She also said that the BACC2 had 700 applicants, but...
hookem08- I know that it is online based and you must go to UTMB once a week to take tests, attend a seminar sessions, etc. I do know that for the first 2-3 months or so there are labs and/or other...
Congrats MT56! That's quite a dilemma, but a good one! Do you mind if I ask what your previous degree is and if you are finished with all of your prereqs? I'm curious to find out what I need to...
Both my friend and I got emails stating we are invited for interviews and will receive date and time info in 2-3 weeks. We're so excited! Congrats to those who also got emails and we'll all keep...
i saw this posted in the utmb spring 2011 forum and thought everyone may want to know. the # of applicants don't necessarily apply to us, but the timing of the interviews are about same according to...
As for the number of people they're accepting, the pre-admissions advisor told me that this year (2011) they were increasing the number of spots from 60 to 65. So that should leave 48 left, which...

I'm not a UTHSC student, but I can tell you that "R" stands for Thursday. Alot of schools only like to use 1 letter for the day of the week, so Tuesday is T and Thursday is R. Hope this
From reading previous threads, I'm pretty certain that they interview for both programs at the same time, but LindsayPaige knows more about this. As for location, I'm sticking where I am. I'm in Clear...
I applied at the end of May and received my E-connect info in the mail in June. A person in admissions told me that it usually takes them 2.5-3 weeks to get the E-connect info to you once your...
Being able to finish in a year (really a little less than that!) is one of the reasons why I want to be in an accelerated program. If you can handle all the extra hours and work, to me it's well...
Yay, someone I know! I was going to add to my last post, that it's Kristina who sat 2 seats behind you but didn't want to sound like a total idiot in case it was someone else. :) Classes are going...
I sent mine in a while ago and already have my e-connect info, so now it's just time to sit and wait. It did take about 2.5 to 3 weeks for me to get the e-connect info though. I see that it only took...
