Hey guys, I am a student at UTHSCSA about to start my first semester in two weeks (so excited and nervous). I want to wish everyone luck during this waiting game. For me this part was one of the hardest thing about the whole process. Just fyi, once the acceptance letters go out, it is a good idea for someone to start a facebook page for your cohort. The school encourages this to be done because it is a fast and good way to get info out, clarification on various topics, and just to encourage each other. I am super exciter for y'all and again wish all the best to each of y'all.

Congrats! That is so exciting. Have you joined out FB page yet? If not here is the link. Log into Facebook | Facebook

Good luck to all the waitlisted people. One more day and hopefully there is good news all around.

Thank you for your response. I just bought four R&R 2nd editions (the current R&R is the 3rd edition) and plan to buy about three more. Since they were 2nd edition the cost was only about 50 bucks with shipping for all four. So $13 per older book instead of $30 something per new book is worth it I thing. I am not really interested in the CD that comes with the books so that will not bother me if it is there or not.

Has anyone here used any of the Reviews and Rationales by Mary Ann Hogan during nursing school? I am going to start my first semester in August and the reviews for this series is excellent. I would love to hear first hand experience using this resource? Can you tell me about them? Thank you for your time.

Wow Kaymeegs, I sure hope you get into UTHSC and everyone else here on the wait list. They have been very organized and informative with the up coming cohort. As I have been filling out and sending them various docs, I have been requesting a simple confirmation email stating they received whatever doc I just sent them. Gives me peace of mind that I have proof. Good Luck again guys. I will be on the look out here April 1st.

Ratlady, you seem to be a current student at UTHSCSA (I am lazy and don't want to review the past pages, sorry. Lol!) We would love for you to join our FB group to help give some insight to what is ahead of us.

Hi Lunaaa7! Do you think you can join our FB page so you can give us an insiders point of view being that you are in your first semester? Maybe advice on what to start doing now, stuff like that. What do you think?

Congrats to everyone who made it, good luck to everyone on the waiting list, and keep on trying to the ones who did not get in. I just wanted to repost the link to the FaceBook page 1staidkit started just in case anyone missed it. Log into Facebook | Facebook . Please join.

9 is really good Kaymeegs! Good luck.

Ok...I will be looking for the FB page. I am so freaking happy!

I am in. Whoop whoop!

To you as well. I think if I was not right on the line with my TEAS I would be ok. An 82.7 is not a slam dunk and might be below the average for this cycle. My GPA's are 3.8. I am really driving myself crazy over this. Long, long spring break for sure.

Well I played dumb and made the call. I asked if it was this Friday or next week sometime when they will be sending out acceptance or rejection emails. The person stated, "I am pretty sure it is the 18th but it is definitely not today." Darn it. Looks like it will be another week peeps.

Ok...I read through the comments from the last semester (took me forever)and it seems people get rejection letters first when there is something missing or incomplete with their application. Then a few days later they send both acceptance and rejection letters out at the same time. That is how they did it last application cycle. Omg! I am tempted to play dumb and call up there and ask again when they are sending out notifications.

Oh my lord! I am freaking out. Today might be the day then. My heart feels like it is going to burst out of my chest.

They told us that they were going to tell us on March 18th if we got accepted or not. This is a week early for her to get notified. Did they do it sooner with yall as well?

I wonder if she did not have the minimum requirements and that made her easily disqualified? Do you happen to know her numbers?

Holy moly!

That would be awesome. Can't wait till next Friday.

Thanks for the shout out. How is everything going in your first semester?

Thanks so much. That is what they emailed me without the explanation of going to an urgent care clinic. I am going to my sisters doc who is about 45 min from SA. She knew he was accepting new patients and I just wanted to get seen without hunting forever for a new doc and it taking a month to get in. Start everything on Monday. I drove by UTHSCSA today for a screening one of my kiddos needed. I just wanted to drive on campus, go to the admissions office and demand them to tell me if I got accepted. Ha ha ha. Oh lordy!

Just in case y'all missed any forms, here is the link to the student immunization record that needs to be filled out by a healthcare provider. http://shc.uthscsa.edu/pdf/SHC_new_students.pdf I have insurance through the healthcare exchange (aka Obama care) and my former doctor dropped me and I can't find anyone who will take it. I was wondering if UTHSC has a clinic that will help me get my needed immunizations and fill out this form for me. I am going to call this week and figure it out.

Yes, yesterday I started to freak out a bit. Ha ha ha. 10 days and counting.

Thanks so much.
