I am declining to attend UTHSC-Houston.

Once we accept we just do all the immunizations/ certifications/ drug testings before orientation and that's all?

I applied Jan 15. Interviewed Thursday the 27th. and just checked today and have been accepted, although I am declining.

https://nursing.uth.edu/prospstudent/bsn/tradbsn/curriculum-bsn-pace.htm This is the curriculum overview for the Pacesetter program for those who are interested.

I am almost certain all UTHSC students will be in a pacesetter program, which is 15mo also.

I believe that, UTHSC does not have a summer break. So it goes fall, spring, summer, fall, then you are finished at the end of the fall semester (December). There is a UT Houston (Fall 2014 Applicants) forum on here if you want to follow that, and if you're admitted a facebook group as well.

Last T- Th? as in 18-20? I do not believe so considering that I had my interview on the 27th, and when I scheduled that interview I was told I could schedule into the first week of April if needed, so I assume they are not even finished with interviews. Unless, you meant last wave that they sent out, and not final wave; in that case, I agree.

In my opinion, the consistent above 90% passing rate for UTHSC is more telling than the difference between the two schools.

In my opinion, the consistent above 92% passing rate in the past 4 years for UTHSC is more telling than the difference between the two schools.

For those of you who are deciding between UTMB and UTHSC (or between any schools for that matter) I HIGHLY recommend checking out the NCLEX passing rates. It definitely made the decision for me. It can be googled or the link is: https://www.bon.texas.gov/nursingedu...R-passrate.pdf I had my interview yesterday and was told they were looking at admitting about 150 from 600 applicants; my interviewer was the director of the RN-BSN program and is high-up in rank there, thus I would take her word for it.

I am not sure that this is the "first wave," perhaps it is for those who did not apply for early admittance, but I have a friend who was admitted before the January 15th deadline if I am not mistaken (but it is a very likely possibility that I am).

I'm the 34567897654 person having trouble with the Facebook group. The one I found only has 8 members? If this isn't the right one someone invite me please! Veronica Diano.

I was originally tracking the UTMB forum since I did not think I was getting in to UTHSC but I have been accepted.

Just heard back today for an interview. Finally!

@dvanek. Little late, but your chances are extremely high in my opinion. Your scores are better than average and you're male; lucky you!
