Spring 2011 UT Health Sciences Nursing Hopefuls

Published

I am a UT Houston hopeful applying for the traditional and accelerated nursing program. I will complete my science prereqs (A&P 1/2) in the summer. I will finish up with Micro and Chem in the fall. I am so focused right now. Anyone else out there? :)

I called and got the same response as Lindsaypaige... But that is so exciting that your holds just changed!!!

Mine changed but my status is still "pending." I'm beginning to wonder if everyone's holds will change. Sounds like many holds are changing but the status is not.

I wonder how they are deciding to update UTLink? Last name or interview date. The suspense is killing me.

I wish I knew too this waiting is horrible!! Has anyone received an email??

The Registrars office doesn't update our statuses in any certain order. They are given a list (which is random or not in any order) and they go in and start changing our holds and then statuses. And not everyone's holds will be changed. in the previous semesters mine never changed and I received my rejection letters on the day they said letters will be sent out. The admissions packets were typically sent sooner. For those of you who are wondering. If you don't get in then your status won't change from pending and your holds won't be updated. Just FYI.

wow so I'm really just wondering what day all the UT links will be updated by? I figure tomorrow or the next day at the latest..

Congrats to everyone who has gotten in!! I am so happy for everyone!!! My holds haven't been changed, so I assume I didn't get in, but I am fine with that because I already accepted at TWU. But I am so excited for all of you that have gotten in! YAY!!

So are they really going to make us wait until the 15th to get our acceptance packets? It seems a little silly, especially if we think they are going to be done with notifications in a couple days

Hi All,

I am not new, I have been on threads from 2 previous semesters but could not remember my log in so I created a new one. I first want to say to everyone who got in CONGRATS to you all! Second I would love to tell Delgadido that nothing is guaranteed...this is my THIRD semester to apply starting in Sept 2009. I have watched friends of mine get accepted and are about to graduate this next semester. It is discouraging but I am SO happy for them. And no they are not guaranteed a job anywhere. Lol! I have friends that have graduated from UTHSC-Houston and are now preceptors for their students. My ex husband works w/the previous president from UTHSC and I have friends that are phd's and work there now. So as you can see, NOTHING is certain except death and taxes as mentioned previously. FINALLY after all that and being very very VERY patient...yesterday morning my holds changed and this morning I saw the most blessed thing ever

"You have been admitted for the term above"

It was unbelievable because I have waited a year and 3 interviews for this opportunity. So for you guys still waiting for an answer, hang in there and be patient...it will happen and for those who have your answers now, take complete advantage of it and don't take one second for granted because it really is a select opportunity.

If it gives some of you hope here are my stats:

Nursing prereq GPA: 3.42

Science GPA: 3.5

HESI: 92

Critical Thinking for Nursing on HESI: 958

10 yrs medical experience

6 different volunteer opportunities over 5 years.

I have realized it doesn't matter tremendously what ur scores as to how they choose, its all about heart, persistence and will to make it through and to make a difference. Scores and grades are just a piece of it.

Good luck to everyone and I VERY much look forward to meeting ALL of my future classmates in December at orientation.

yea... i kinda realized that after caitster clairfied it with me. kinda dropped my spirit but ill keep on trying

im hoping for the best and preparing for the worst. looking at ut tyler registration so i can take nursing concepts online atleast
