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? :)

Hi Speakthetruth, I got wait listed today too. Any idea how many applicants they typically wait list in a given semester and if the list ever moves? It's better than a decline I guess, but I'm not very hopeful at this point...

hey! I haven't found anything on how many they wait list, that would be really nice to know. From last spring I know that definitely people got accepted off of the wait list. I have to hope that good things will happen for us. I think we should expect some movement after everyone gets their acceptance packets and send back the sheet saying if they accept the school.

Hey, I live in The Woodlands. Are you going to be taking the bus?

CareerChangeMom,

That's where I thought you lived. Did you read my post from earlier? I live near the parkway & 2978, is that close to you?

Who else lives in the Woodlands area?

has anyone taken the background check yet? i went to the gulfcoast website, and it basically told me to go to the precheck site. I just thought that was weird that they listed the gulfcoast website for the undergraduates when it actually directs you to the precheck website....

Thanks for all the info Kimmy!! I really appreciate it! As for parking, i took the park and ride from Kingwood to the train station and rode the metrorail to the school. the walk is about a block from the school, it's really not that bad (as long as you aren't wearing heels like I was that day!) The total ride/walk time is about an hour, so not bad considering i didn't have to drive in rush hour traffic! And it costs about $3 a day if you get the student card which you can get from the Main Metro Station downtown once you register for classes. You just have to take a fee statement and class schedule down there and the give you the student card which is half price!

I noticed the same thing. I just ordered mine from the precheck website. Maybe they wanted to direct undergraduates there to read the content available at that website. That was my guess but I could be wrong. I'm hoping that precheck will work.

Eyrehead & CareerChangeMom -

As of now, I plan to take the park and ride from 1960 & 45. If plans changes, I'd love to carpool if you two are up for it. Just keep me posted...

If there are any others willing to carpool, please let me know...

I have a question, do you all think that they're done updating UT link? Mine has not changed at all, and I will be ok if I am not accepted, but I just need to know, there are other schools I need to prepare for to enter in the spring, and this just keeps me confused and waiting.

UGHH same here.. I need to know.. its annoying that we have to wait when alot of pll already found out. it seems like 80 spots have been filled :( :(

do u think they are letting people know if they are in or not based on when the interview was?

I wish I can answer to your question about the link. Mine has not changed as well. I am pretty sure, if we won't get accepted, they will notify us by the end of this month. I hear you.. I am also trying to contact other schools.. It would be great if they could let everybody know at once. But I think it is not possible due to the volume of workload for so many application. Just be patience. Nothing much we can do about this. I am about to give up hope...:confused:

I've already accepted the fact that I have been rejected, no need to be disappointed, I believe that things happen for a reason, plus you can always submit another application for fall.
