Petitea, don't stress out about it. As long as you have taken care of everything that you needed to take care of it will eventually be updated. Mine said "in progress" even after I received an email stating that I was accepted. Though it's so hard to just sit and wait...that's all you can do right now. Good luck!

Agree. Be patient. However, with so many applicants papers tend to get shuffled around and some fall through the cracks. It happened to many of us in the past. I wouldn't "hound" them, but there's no harm in calling and asking in a professional manner about the status of your application. Good luck.

Hi futurepedrn22, I would suggest to call the school of nursing about once a week just to check up on the status of your application.

Congrats to all who have been accepted! For those who haven't heard anything, please be patient. I am currently in the BACC2 program and many of us didn't hear anything until the very last minute. Congrats again and if you have any questions please feel free to email me as well or post on here. Take care. ~Karina

ttnnc: What's your email address so I can send you the link?

It's a "closed" group, so I'm thinking that is why we are not able to find it.

DD where did you get those numbers from? The max UTMB is offering me is less than 15K. That's not even half of my income now. I have looked into third party loans but that is definitely going to be my last resort. Thanks for the info.

I've also been looking for the facebook page but have not found one. @DD - good luck in whatever it is that you decide to do. I know it must have been a tough decision. I am still trying to figure out how in the world I am going to be able to pay for school. What financial aid offered is definitely not enough at all! I have a mortgage, car payment, and all those other things we pay for as we get older. I've also had a fulltime career for the past 5 years, so going to no steady income is really terrifying - not to add that my husband is in medical school so we have to work all of that in. UGH! Super stressed! But still excited all at the same time :)

I've had pretty quick responses from enrollment services/financial aid. I too am concerned about money for school. I'm currently a teacher and there's no way possible I'm going to be able to do it if all I get is what they offered in aid. I'm really saddened and hope to find additional aid really soon (that is not a third party loan).

thank you damrcngrl...this information helps a lot. I was thinking Thanksgiving time, but now that you mentioned everything that needs to get done, I think Nov. 1st is a good time. Thanks again.

I just got accepted into an accelerated program that will begin in the Spring. I am currently a teacher and do not know when would be an appropriate time to let my AP know that I will not be returning. I want to give them sufficient time to find someone to replace me as well as not burn any bridges. Any suggestions?

To those who have been accepted into the BACC2 program....is anyone a teacher? If so, by when do you plan on telling your AP that you will not be returning in the spring?

Congrats to everyone who has been accepted! I am super excited and scared at the same time to begin this new journey in life. I think the hardest part for me is going to be quitting my job. Awwwww! This is surreal right now. For those of you not wanting to live on the island, there are some nice apartments in Texas City off of 45N and exit 15. There are also many more in League City. This area is about a 30 min drive to UTMB.

It sounds like a mass email. It's very general. It informs you of the invite for an interview but the time was not specified. I do not know the answer to your second question.

I just received an email as well!! :) good luck to everyone

At the open house they also stated that they had around 700 applicants and are only accepting 180. 70 tothe BACC2 program and 110 to the traditional program.

I think we're not as talkative because there's not much to talk about since we are all sitting and waiting.... I too would love to see an update page and at the open house a few weekends ago they said they were working on that for the future. I hope we hear something really soon!

I was told invites would be sent out the last week of September. Though I know they'll be contacting us by email, I still find myself hurrying to our mailbox as if they sent a letter by snail mail.

What I meant by "in writing" was...I have email correspondence stating that my application is complete. I haven't heard anything yet either. Interview invites will be sent via email. Good luck to everyone!

Thought you would like to know.... Heard that we should be receiving an email regarding interviews within the next couple of weeks. Good luck to everyone!! :)

Nope. I haven't heard anything yet. MyStar hasn't been updated either as it still shows my application as incomplete. I have it in writing from UTMB that my application is complete and that they are still in the process of updating the system. Has anyone else had this problem? Have a great Sunday!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH JThig!!! Hearing from someone who is in the process right now is great! What did you do before nursing?

Hi Courtney, I was told the same thing. I'm not stressing anymore since it seems as if interviews are late every year. I was just hoping we'd hear something before I go back to work. Good luck and hang in there.

Waiting is definitely not any fun. Is anyone else currently working full time?

Hi, my name is Karina. Does anyone have an interview scheduled yet? I'm getting worried because my application status still states my application is incomplete, but I spoke to admissions and they said not to worry because they have everything they need from me.
