I did officially get accepted about a week and a half ago then declined the offer. Just an update! Congrats everyone that got off the wait list!

I have not been keeping up at all with this thread, and did not go back to read the last 15 or so pages I have missed. I wanted to mention, for the people still waiting for answers, that I received a call from UTMB yesterday and I am apparently ranked first to get off the wait list, currently. I was also told some faculty will be out of the office till the very end of July, so I might not receive a call until then. I will be declining if I do end up getting in for the fall as I am attending UTHSC-Houston. Anyone that is on the wait list, get ready! (: I believe they will be pulling off from it more at the beginning of August! You may be going to nursing school in the fall! (: (: I hope that brightens someones day. (:

1. No they are not. As long as you meet these requirements regarding pre-reqs: "To be considered, you must complete at least 40 hours of the required 60 hours of prerequisite work by the program application deadline. 8 hours, of those 40 hours, must be from the science prerequisites of: Human Anatomy and Physiology , Microbiology, Chemistry. If you are admitted into the program ALL 60 hours of prerequisites must be completed by the start of the program." ^Quote from UTHealth website 2. I got an 88% overall on the HESI, and a 950 on critical thinking. I had a 3.67 GPA when I applied. 3. I don't think anything alone is the deciding factor. It is a combination of things, and it is something I don't think anyone has quite figured out completely. There are many theories, but there is really nothing clear cut about the "deciding factor." With my experience, that is true with all nursing schools. 4. I personally think my HESI critical thinking score got me in, along with consistent straight 4.0s my last few semesters. What brought my GPA down was a combination of first semester in college and dual credits from high school. But honestly that is just a guess.

Girl, there must be something we are missing. I got wait listed at UTMB and got accepted to UTHealth... Soo odd. And your stats are a little high than mine. The only difference is I got a 950 on my CT on the HESI, but still...

What were your HESI scores?

Very disappointed with UTMB. After over EIGHT weeks from my interview date (Interviewed the very 1st day of interviews, February 10th) they finally decide to let me know something. I am waitlisted for Fall of 2014. I have sent many emails that no one responded to; Emails I did receive responses for were answered in an unprofessional manner. I was told the day of my interview that I would hear back in approximately 2 weeks, MAX 4-6 weeks. I will be declining if I am accepted off the waitlist. I am attending UTHealth in Houston (as I mentioned a couple of weeks ago.) Although, my experience with UTMB was not good, they do have a great program! Good luck and congrats to all that will be attending! (:

I got my acceptance to UTHSC in Houston a couple of days ago! (: Since it has been almost 7 weeks from interview at UTMB, and they have not responded to my recent emails... I have made a close to definite decision to attend UTHSC Houston even if UTMB accepts me at a later date. @raidergirl95: I have been trying to reply to your PMs. I think you need to delete some messages again! I'm not ignoring you on purpose!

I'll send you both the link in a PM. Didn't think of that... (: EDIT: @rmant I think I see you in there now! @paola0630 I will send it to you! Sorry I haven't been on my computer all day!

Pre-Req: 3.73 Science: 3.67 Overall: 3.60 HESI: 88% CT: 950 It is the first day of acceptances, don't panic yet! (:

You can PM me your name and I'll invite you. (:

I made the Facebook group! (: Search: UTHSC Houston SON Class of December 2015

I AM IN!! (: (: (: I got my acceptance email this afternoon as well! I am so excited! CONGRATULATIONS EVERYONE!! (:

It indicates nothing on mystar, just my circle. I had to email to see what was going on, and I got the "on hold" answer. It was very vague though. I suppose that is still what is going on. I wish I was given more information.

Well today marks 6 weeks from my interview date, February 10th. I was told a decision would be made in approximately 2 weeks, at my interview. I was told by another admission staff member that the absolute max would be 4-6 weeks after my interview date.

I didn't mean to worry anyone with my post about having an admissions hold and it possibly being related to when I got my evaluation. It was just a thought about maybe it was how they were doing evaluations. I don't think it indicates in any way if your in or not, so I don't think anyone should worry. Maybe the people who don't have holds, but have evaluations don't have any other documents that are needed from them? I don't know! The two could also be completely unrelated, like @Mallory86 and @vuhnyse said their dates don't seem to correlate at all!

If you are still waiting on a transcript evaluation... I noticed that an "Admissions Hold" was placed on my account the next day after my transcript evaluation was prepared (shows date prepared on physical evaluation.) My evaluation was prepared 3/05/2014, the "Admissions Hold" started 3/06/2014, and I received my evaluation in the mail yesterday, 3/19/2014. Just thought I would offer any possible frame of reference. I am thinking everyone has that hold, yes?

I got my transcript evaluation yesterday evening! (: It says the classes I am taking now (the only ones I have left to take) are the only ones not satisfied. They have my currently enrolled classes as the last thing listed on the evaluation.

We have all looked at last year's posts, haha. I have been waiting for this week because I saw that too!

Thank you so much! They did not. I asked, via email response. Hopefully I can get an answer in the am... but I highly doubt it. I am surprised myself.

Well they accepted other applicants... Which makes me wonder what is different about me. But I think you are exactly right, they are keeping their options open. They told me at my interview (Feb 10th) approximately two weeks that a decision will be made, something changed. I appreciate it!

Not medical, but I do have job experiences that required communication skills that can be applied to nursing. I was not even asked at my interview. Honestly, I do not think that has anything to do with me being on hold. I am not sure what has me on hold, but I really don't think it is lack of experience. I was asked to interview very early and they could see my experience level, and I believe if they had a problem with it they wouldn't have had me interview so quickly. It had to be something to do with my interview in itself! I probably will never find out though. /: ALSO: Somebody specifically asked that question at the information session I attended last September if previous experience would help and the faculty member that spoke said "No, it doesn't really matter." However, when the students spoke they said it was one of the factors.

No I am not. If you are on the wait list your status changes to a triangle. I don't believe the wait list forms until after interviews are complete. Depending on how many spots are left after interviews are complete will determine if I am wait listed or not.

@raidergirl95 it is saying your pm inbox is full and I can't respond to your message! Delete some messages. (; (Sorry everyone for these multiple posts)

Just got a response via email. I was told my application is on hold until interviews are over... /:

Thank you so much! I hope this doesn't happen to you either. I am sure it won't. I believe I am like the only one. Good luck to you as well! (:
