If you don't mind, when were you placed on the waitlist? Like, when did you receive that email?

 

I received the waitlist email on May 5.

Have anyone heard back from the waiting list and denial yet? If I am in the waiting list and received an IdentoGo email, doesn't that mean UTMB accepted me or it is just a background process everyone have to go through?

Receiving an IdentGo email is just the background process it does not mean acceptance or rejection from the school

Hi everyone

Is anyone having issues logging into MyStar?

Every time I put my credentials in, it keeps taking me back to the same page.

I am having issues as well does not have the "immunization information" tab for me to upload my records. I suggest you call the school or I.T.

I think that [MODERATOR EDIT OF NAME] sent out an email recently saying that your my star will shut down for a day after uploading immunization record documents; however, I think that it might be because you have to wait to be accepted first. I'm not quite sure, but you could always email her or call the school 😄

I just got an email with my acceptance off of the waitlist yesterday!! I have heard they are accepting off the waitlist in batches, but I'm not sure. Good luck!

Just go download the app and look up UTMB Cohort and if that doesnt work go to new student guide and it'll tell you which page to join the 2026 fall cohort of facebook you will have to wait to get accepted but once they accept you the groupme link will be under one of the post

By all means go crazy in this personal statement, like literally put your whole heart and blood into this because that is what their looking for entirely,explain to them why and what inspired you to do nursing and why their school,ci wouldnt say they not looking at your other stats because they will as long as its competitive in their eyes but adding personal statement is something you need to put in the most effort even if your stats aren't as good as others,so don't worry and relax you got this,the wait might be antagonizing but it'll be worth it at the end
