I didn't get in as well but I will be going to UTMB and can't wait!

I personally had the opposite experience. I did well on the HESI except in A&P bc I wasn't done yet with class. That section is so important. I actually did better on the TEAS. The science is definitley broader though. If you look at averages you...

I got that email today too. Made me nervous because all of my stuff was submitted in August!

I agree. I loved the atmosphere at UTMB and didn't feel like a statistic there. I felt like they got to know me and not just my grades. Grades don't always make the person. I am sure great nurses haven't interviewed well and 4.0 nurses haven't been ...

I agree. I have visited a few schools. They all have rude staff, waiting times, difficult process in some way, etc. Overall I really enjoyed UTMB itself and what it has to offer after all the paperwork. This is also a second degree, career change for...

Not sure. I was just concerned with due dates and making sure I was on track. Also knew a lot of people were curious about the fb page so I asked about that as well. Sorry I couldn't be of help to those waiting. Good luck though! We are all rooting f...

I asked about the facebook page and also the new student guide. UTMB says everything should be going out soon for all accepted.

Nope. I haven't received anything other than being asked about the fingerprinting stuff for the board of nursing.

Yeah I asked also. They said there is a list of like 30 locations and that you provide your top 10 I think and they try to give you one of your top picks if it works out.

Thanks. I will look into sand and sea. I have seen that before while looking around. Yeah I figured people start giving notice 60 days ahead or for beach type houses once the summer months are over. Thanks for the info!

For those with houses or renting houses, any suggestions on realtor or advice on how you found the house I'd appreciate! I also have a dog which makes renting a house really desirable for me.

I would like to either do an apt or rent a house. I did the roommate thing when I was in college the first go round, like 10 years ago! Now I'm at a point in life where I just want to come home and relax where it's quiet! Unfortunately that costs mor...

I love to swim and want to get into a better workout routine. Gonna need stress relief! When I move to Galveston for school I am looking forward to having that option. I used the gym all the time when I got my 1st degree. As a grown up after college ...

I went through my doctor and that allowed me to file with insurance. Several clinics are reasonable but they are like cash prices. If you are close to UTMB they are the cheapest. You can set it up with student health immunizations.

I don't recall seeing the email but I did apply. Does it give dates due or dates they notify or anything?

Not yet on the fb page. The school said to contact them and they'd get it started once the new semester got started. Where did you go to apply for the scholarships? Were essays required? What all did they entail?

I got a letter sized envelope that had the acceptance letter, ads statement, and like a piece of paper showing my oustanding class. Probably 4-5 pages total. I got it like Monday or Tuesday and it was due back this coming Monday. I havent received a ...

UTMB reviews applications as they are received as complete by NCAS. I asked this question when I applied bc I had to wait until right before the deadline due to my scheduled TEAS test and spring class. I was told it is in your best interest to turn i...

Did anyone sync their UTMB email to their phone? I tried and it basically wants complete access to your phone. Didn't know if anyone had tried something different.

Check out Rediclinic, Ive seen several attached with HEB. So far they are cheapest for me to do my titer tests. I can't find my original forms but I've had all of the vaccinations. Also check like Walgreens for the actual vaccine. I've seen them chea...

Where do you see these? And at least we know they do cool stuff!

Sounds like fun but don't live close enough just yet! Also have my last prereq class starting today! Hopefully they have something similar for us in the Spring!

I checked this morning and they said our class has not been created yet. They said ask again in a few weeks. They are busy with the Fall incoming class they said.

Ok good. My letter and form and stuff came today. I thought I saw there was a new student packet but maybe I was seeing stuff for Fall admits.

Has anyone in the recent group of accepted students received anything in the mail? I've just had my emails, but no packet in the mail.
