UT-Houston Fall 2007 Applicants

U.S.A. Texas

Published

Hey all,

Just wanted to hear who else on the board is applying for Fall 2007. I've sent everything in and just took the NET test last Saturday. Now the waiting game begins!

I think we talked about this earlier in the thread, but oh well.

The questionnaire is nothing you can prepare for. Just factual stuff.

What classes do you have remaining in terms of pre-reqs? Do you speak a foreign language? Are you among the first in your family to be in college?

As for questions at the end of the interview... I totally got the vibe that it was just honest questions.

I didn't ask anything that would 'impress" the person interviewing me. I just asked some things I wanted to know.

Just be yourself, its not scary at all, I promise.

Loom,

Congratulations on your interview! I interviewed last week. The interview was relaxed and friendly. You will do great!

How does UT houston pick the few to be admitted into their school? Do they use a point scale to rank our interviews, grades/gpa, and our NET score and assign scores to each of us and then the top 130 with the highest scores are accepted? What scores on the NET do they look at? is it just the Math, Science reading comprehension, and the composite percentage?

I did my interview last week. I thought they were really nice, and it was totally a relaxing environment.

Does anybody know the attrition rate at UT houston? as in how many start versus how many finish the program?

I heard UT houston is a great school. But you can't ever really tell until you go there I guess.

I am not sure what the attrition rate is at UT but I know that after the 1st semester we lost 13 people either through failing out, deciding nursing is not for them, or reducing their hours. I am sure that we will lose more judging by how things are going this semester.

UT is a great school but it does leave a little to be desired. Don't get me wrong I love coming here and every program (TWU and PV included) has its faults. UT seems like they are open to change. I really hope that they take the feedback that the seniors that are about to graduate has given them along with us juniors so that things will be a little bit better for you guys.

Here's a tip for all of you waiting for your acceptance letters: I found out that I was accepted 2 weeks before I received my acceptance letter by checking my application status on UTLINK. My status had changed from "pending" to "you have been granted provisional admission" (I had 2 more pre-reqs to take and pass). Hopefully the same will be for you too. Good Luck to all of you guys and keep us posted!!
