UT houston spring 2010 hopefuls

Published

hi there, I'm a spring 2010 UT houston hopefull, I'm trying to see who else is embarking on this journey so we can support each other. I really enjoyed tracking the Fall 2009 class, and I hope we can do the same. I still have a few classes to take. I am currently taking chemistry. As of now my science GPA is 3.33, and overall gpa is 3.61. I am taking the net in May.

Can't wait to hear from others.

OK guys!!!!!!!!!!! Good news and bad news. I am the one who got my NET scores totally messed up when UT ran their final report a few weeks ago. I got the problem resolved and I was called by a counselor stating they fixed my NET scores and the admissions people would be looking at it. This was this past thursday. With that being said my friend who also got her NET scores screwed up (who has a way lower GPA than mine) got a personal phone call from a counselor this morning and informed her that she HAD been scheduled for an interview Oct 19th I believe. My friend was told that the FINAL invitations for interviews were mailed out yesterday. Luckily my friend knows she has an interview before she will even get it in the mail tomorrow. It wasnt in mail today. So.....I called up there because my GPA is WAY higher and my so is my NET and the REFUSED TO TELL ME IF AN INTERVIEW HAD BEEN SCHEDULED even though a few hours ago they told my friend via the phone. Needless to say it took EVERY OUNCE of self control to not VERBALLY rip into her over the phone. She kept repeating "Erin the final letters were mailed out yesterday" I was like lady yall just told someone over the phone a few hours ago.......then she repeated that statement again "Erin the final letters were mailed out yesterday"....as I am white knuckling my ohone wanting to hurl it across the room. Soooo.....I have to stalk my mailman tomorrow....i BETTER have a letter given my friend with significantly lower grades was informed of hers today. I will be reporting this particular employee to the Dean either after I am accepted or denied. She sshouldnt even work there if shes going to treat people the way she has treated me when UT IS THE ONE WHO SCREWED UP MY FILE!!! OK I am done venting but FYI final letters were mailed out yesterday. If you dont get one this week you wont be getting one :( I am gropwing to wonder if I even want to go here anymore. It was my first choice school and nowI am wondering if I will even go if they offer me a spot. I would rather drive to UTMB and be treated with respect!!!!

i'm so sorry to hear that emag! :( That must've been really frustrating and annoying! I'm sure you'll get that interview invitation very soon!

So it seems that the 19th will be the last day (or one of the last) for interviews! That is such great news! maybe we'll know in early november! *crosses fingers*

Yes....I ams orry to vent guys but I have NEVER had people make something so difficult in my life. Like if that were my job and I screwed up someones future I would be nice and apologize and if they called to ask me a simple freaking question I would be MORE than happy to give them the answer. She is doing it just to spite me and that makes my blood boil. I am sure I will get a letter too but she couldve ended the panic attack I am on the verge of but she didnt feel like it I guess. Yes it looks like thats prob one of the last interview dates. I will let you know when I get my letter what my date is.

Lol. They should've offered you my slot for yesterday. I called last Friday to inform them I wasn't going. I'm terrible at talking to machines though (voicemail) and ended up sounding like an ass, but I guess it doesn't matter. I said something like "Hi I'm Alex, I have no interest in your school anymore so I'm not coming monday, ok, bye".

wow!!! good for you...you should write a letter to the dean even though you dont want to attend. Lord knows I will once this process is over. Its unacceptable in my opinion

i know everyone's stressed during this time in the application process, but you have to understand mistakes happen sometimes, and the people working at the school are stressed too. think about it, they had around 900 applicants and they can only choose 80 of them to attend their school, something is bound to happen during the process. i know people are frustrated right now, but calling and complaining to them probably isn't going to help anything right now. as for me, i have no problem with their process or the school. it's a fantastic program.

It is a fantastic program otherwise I wouldnt have applied but if your NET scores were lost or if you didnt get credit for your classes you took and you called and NO ONE was willing to help and was mean to point of making me cry and a few other people I know you wouldnt be saying that right now. You would be livid that your 4.0 GPA (which is what I have) was lost in the shuffle because people didnt do their jobs correctly. This is a HUGE deal for all of us. I have put off having kids for this for example so when someone treats me like crap after they got my money and almost ruined my future your bet your bottom dollar I am going to say something. You would too! I am not interested in getting into it with anyone but not everyone has had a smooth pleasant experience like you and we have a right to discuss those things...good and bad thats what forums are for.

Emag - I feel your pain, but I think Ali is correct. I have lost quite a bit of credit because of AP hours, and I called once to see what the problem is. It is very frustrating trying to talk to these people because it seems like they don't understand, but I am sure that have seen your case and mine a million times and they probably are doing their bests to help you. I am sure that they assumed because you had already taken the NET four times that you had all of your scores in. They have admitted that they made a mistake, but as Ali said sometimes with all of the people that apply to the program there is bound to be some mistakes. I have not called to say anything to the school because there is no point in frustating the admissions board if I have not even been admitted. Hopefully they will have fixed it and you will have an interview before they end, but I do not think it is fair for you to berate other people's GPAs or things on the forum, they have worked hard like you.

I apologize if I came across as rude. I never meant to berate anyones GPA....everyones GPA is AWESOME on here...its a tough crowd that I am proud to be a part of. I know its a very stressful time and like I said I am 27 years old with 9 yrs experience in the med field and have put off having having children for this. My hubby is 35. This means EVERYTHING to all of us I am sure. I just cried over and over from the way I was treated. They crushed me....it really hurt!! I feel like I worked my booty off for the 4.0 and for that to go unnoticed almost killed me. It felt like everything I worked for got thrown in the trash while others had a smooth road. And then when I saw my friends cry over how they were treated as well I just got super defensive. You are ALL super smart and like I said I am honored to be in the same mix with you. I am totally sorry if I hurt anyones feelings or said anything rude. I just see how simple ( which is an understatement.....its stressful for all of you) this has been for some of you and it has been my worst nightmare. Both of my parents died before the age of 25 and this seriously ranks up there stress wise for me......I have never been this hurt and mad over a school and thats why I vented on here. Maybe it wasnt the proper outlet but guys just try and understand that this road has not been a fun one for a lot of us and I was REALLY mistreated to the point of tears and I dont cry. I am honored to be a part of this group despite the outcome and I mean that. We are all capable of becoming excellent nurses and I want the best for all of you. I apologize for ticking anyone off. I am truly sorry. Just know that this has been a terrible experience for some of us and I am trying my hardest to stay positive it just gets hard when things happen like this. God bless and once again I didnt mean to annoy anyone I just felt like you guys would understand and thats why I vented here

Don't worry, totally understand your frustration. I gave up on UT already, hopefully I get into PVAMU, my last chance at Nursing school, I already taken a semester off cause I finished all my classes, I don't think I can take another semester+summer off to wait until fall 2010 :no:
