Hey, have y'all's transcripts been received by NursingCAS yet? I bought and sent my transcripts back in Jan. 19, but on the website it still says, "Not Arrived".

Huh that's definitely weird I send mine on the 23rd and got the notification the next day which will either say arrived or complete.they should have been received it unless u order your transcript and send it somewhere other than nursing cas because you got to send it to nursing cas otherwise they won't get it

My transcripts were marked as arrived almost instantly. I would contact NCAS about this.

I figured out the problem, it was on my end LOL because I directly sent my transcripts to UTMB. Thank y'all!

Hey ya'll! Wanted to check in and see how everyone was doing because I am anxious. I hope the personal statements count for something truly because I feel like that's all I have going for me. My stats aren't great, but I am hoping I can get in somewhere!

I think my stats are mediocre compared to others, so I also made my personal statement as strong as I can. Good news is that I heard that personal statements hold a considerable amount of weight in our applications and that UTMB takes a more holistic approach.

Hi everyone, I completed my application last month and submitted my supplemental on January 28th, but I still don't see my application on the MyStar portal. Is anyone else experiencing this?

What are your stats?

I'm debating if I even should apply at this point. My science GPA is 2.95 but my other GPAs are above a 3.4 and my TEAS is above 80%. 😕

Hey maya,im gonna be honest with you,you can still apply but just don't be surprised if you didn't get accepted because they are a lil strict with the whole science GPA now if you are retaking a science class atm then that could boost your chances but if not I would def put my heart and soul on my personal statement if I were you

Apply! You never know what the outcome could be!  My stats are lower as well but I worked really hard on personal statement and submitted a resume.
