Hey Everyone!

I am excited to start this journey. I didn't see a topic for this program yet so I thought I would start one.

My Stats:

TEAS - 92.9%

Science GPA - 4.0

Overall GPA - 3.8

I'm sure your time is coming! You've done so much and have great stats. Did your in law say anything about the waves since one has already been released? 

I messaged her but she's gone to sleep. I'm sure I'll hear from her tomorrow morning. I'm also wondering if that may be the issue because she does teach at the UTMB SON as a clinical instructor.

Even if that is the case, your stats and experience are REALLY good! If possible, can you let us know when she thinks the next wave might come out/what this one was based off of if she by any chance knows?

No volunteer work but I've been working as a surgical assistant, teaching undergrad health science courses, and working as a nursing clinical coordinator for over 10 years. I have a B.S. and M.S. in Health Science. I thought I was good on the resume front and I got the thumbs up on my personal statement from several people at UTMB. I don't know what I could be missing. 

I have a B.S. and M.S. in Health Science.

Wow, yea I don't know why you haven't gotten your acceptance yet. I'm positive it's coming though!

She said yes, the acceptance letters can go out in waves but that's not always the case. She said next week based on the update in MyStar followed by waitlist the following week followed by rejection letters. She said the acceptance letters may go out over the course of the week not all in one day. She prepared me that I may not get in as I have two negatives against me but they are factors I can't control. ?

One because my in-law teaches there as well as being on the board for the nursing school, which I did not know she was. Two because my spouse is military....there is a concern about having to PCS during the program as well as having a Houston and San Diego address. They are questioning where I live a majority of the time. Given all of that, I'll be surprised if I get accepted. She told me to call on Monday.
