Hemphia, don't stress too bad (easier said than done - trust me, I know!) :) I just about drove myself mad trying to figure out the method to UTMB's madness when I applied last semester. And even after being accepted, I still have no idea how they de...

Stay positive! =) your persistence will pay off!

I couldn't agree more with punkydoodles!! Things change in the blink of an eye - and as punkydoodles told our class 'the key to surviving this school is flexibility' And she wasn't joking. You kind of have to have the 'I'll believe it when I see it' ...

It took 5 months before I was invited for an interview - so don't be alarmed if it takes a while. Good luck to everyone :)

Also - I have a blog about my time at utmb...it's been a work in progress since I've never blogged before (not to mention the lack of free time!) but feel free to check it out! Rocker Ryder also has a good blog! :)

Sorry I didn't respond sooner! I haven't been on here in a while. To answer your question - yes, there were people who were accepted without an interview but it's very rare. They had to have a straight 4.0 with no withdrawals on their transcripts...a...

polysaturate - it's been a while since I applied, but I don't remember having to have my transcripts accredited by another company. I know most schools will use SPEEDE to send the transcripts to UTMB electronically, which is what UTMB prefers, but th...

If I remember correctly there wasn't a specific topic. It was just a 'supporting statement' of why you want to be a nurse, etc.

I had a 3.1 GPA & scored 89% on my TEAS but i'm with rocket ryder....I had a good essay. The link for the Fall 2012 UTMB applicant forum is: https://allnurses.com/tx-nursing-programs/utmb-fall-2012-a-610589-page3.html

I agree with ledestiny & punkydoodles...take your time with your statement! My GPA wasn't considered 'competitive' (3.1 overall & my science GPA was significantly low ) and my Teas score was 89% but I had a pretty good supporting statement a...

Hey everyone :) I was accepted for the Spring 2012 program but will be keeping tabs on this forum to help out in any way. Our class had the same help from a current student (Punkydoodles) and she was a life saver! For those ONLY applying to UTMB, I w...

I think orientation is only about a week before classes start.

Same here. I can't go above $600 and I don't have a washer, dryer, OR microwave so it'll be nice to have those included. Anything I can do to save money!

Yeah, a friend of mine told me about the high school traffic, too. For the price, I might be able to make that sacrifice. My brother lived in Windsor Estates and he like those a lot! They're out of my price range, but those who can afford them should...

I just looked at some in League City called Signature Point. They quoted me $550 for a 1 bedroom for a 15 month lease (I'm liking that because I want one lease for the whole BSN program and I'm sure they'd extend it a month or two). Washer/Dryer/Micr...

I'm thinking of staying in the League City area.

Congrats everyone who has received their acceptance letters! :anpom::anpom::anpom:

I'm still debating on whether I'm going to move to the island...it's either Clear Lake or Galveston.

I got accepted! I am beyond excited!!!! Can't wait to meet my fellow classmates!

@Sheena - Yep, I interviewed Thursday 10/6. I actually got there 30 minutes early, which I'm glad I did because I was extremely nervous beforehand and that extra 30 minutes gave me time to find the room, sit down, and talk to the other interviewees a...

If you go back a few pages, you'll read where some people have talked about the interview process. It's very laid back, don't be nervous! You're basically going to have a simple conversation with your interviewer. The basics 'why do you want to be a ...

@ Mak09: Keep your head up, I understand. I'm not feeling too confident either. My GPA is below the average on this site, and I interviewed last week and it looks like several from last week have gotten accepted. But, all we can do is wait and see!

Congrats to those who received acceptance letters today :) Hopefully there are more to come.

Mak09, I also live in Lake Jackson. Well, Brazoria as of now...but it'll be Lake Jackson by the time the semester starts. I'm also debating on whether to move to the island if I get in. But if I don't, I'm always open to carpooling! Good luck to all...

I agree with ledestiny, it's probably a good thing! Has anyone else who had an interview last Thursday for the Traditional program not heard anything back? I know it's too soon for me to expect a response from them, but I did see that one person who ...
