University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UTHSCSA) ABSN Summer 24

Published

Just submitted my application so I thought I should start the thread!! Does anyone know the expected date admission decisions come out, this is my top school but I would have to move to a different city so im hoping its fast. 

Did anyone else get an email from the office of admissions this past weekend? I got one that had a link to a personalized check list and at the bottom it had FAQ's about the rest of the admissions process. It looks like there will be a second round of interviews and we should hear back about final admissions decisions 8-10 weeks after the application deadline.

What did the email look like? I received one about a personalized URL (PURL) that had me inserting my information, which then led me to a check list and questions. One of FAQ was "When will I receive a decision," followed with: 

Depending on the volume of applications received, the initial review could take a minimum of 4-6 weeks. After these evaluations are completed, competitive applicants are invited to participate in the next round, which includes an online interview and a writing sample. Typically, it takes a minimum of 3 weeks to evaluate this information. We aim to release all final admissions decisions 8-10 weeks after the deadline.

I didn't pay much attention to it because I assumed that this term was going to be different due to the imbedded interview questions we had to complete in order to submit the Nursing application on NursingCAS. 

Also, did you guys get emailed payment instructions from UTHSCSA on adding the $45 payment order number from PayPal onto the application? "Copy the Order ID provided in the PayPal email and paste it into your NursingCAS application under the second question titled 'School of Nursing Application Fee.'"

I was like I didn't even pay through PayPal?... I paid through their website. Also I didn't see anywhere to add anything. That would be wild if this is how they ensured we paid those $45 omggg.... (I received that email on Jan 11 just now noticing it)

OMG I got freaked out from not seeing that email, just to realize I received the personalized email in october of last year (not sure why they sent them out separately like that). however I think the information on it is not updated, hence the confusion with the interview stuff. 

I didn't see an email about the payment instructions with PayPal but im gonna pray that paying through their website was good enough LOL

Yeah, I got that exact email too! I wasn't sure if the FAQ's at the bottom were updated. 

I also did't see an email about about payment instructions through PayPal.

I remember receiving that PayPal email a while back too! but also went ahead and paid the UTHealth $45 through their website + NursingCAS application

As for the website, I also think it is a little outdated. I'm sure they would have told us by now that there would be second round interviews... right? LOL

Does anybody know how much the Total Cost of the ABSN program is?

According to their website, for ABSN 2023-2024: Around 20k ($18,794) for direct costs (includes tuition, fees, and books).  https://students.uthscsa.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/210/2023/09/2023-24-Accelerated-NSU.pdf 

Seems that total cost of attendance is dependent on personal factors.

Also, they for sure need to update so much! I think it is only 1 round of interviews (which we've done.) I saw forums of past years talking about questions from the interviews and they were the same format as the ones we did.

I have a friend currently in the program and when she got accepted I remember her saying it's a $500 down payment to accept the invitation (and we also only get 1 week to accept).

yeah but thankfully you get $250 refunded when classes start I believe but paying $500 off the bat is gonna make me cry for sure lmao
