UTA Spring 2010

U.S.A. Texas

Published

Is anyone out there applying at UTA for the spring? I was wondering, if we are asked to interview, what month would that be? and does anyone know when they send out their final decision? Also, what goes on in the interview? Any tips? pls?

misspink86,

justin says he just found out yesterday from the faculty that they were doing this, so none of the students really know yet. im not sure if emails are going to be sent out with info on this or not. he said the reason why is the faculty had been debating for a while whether to keep the interview process but they came to the conclusion that it the interviews really didnt make a difference whether you got accepted or not and there was no point in having them anymore. I asked him since there is no interview will letters of acceptance be sent out sooner and he said yes they should be sent out by the end of september and early october.

Oh wow...thanks ayeisha I just read Noni Stephens email on web ct about it too. Man I'm scared. A girl I talked to in my pharm my class said that Mrs. Priddy said that they will be sending out letters this week. But I have no idea. Are they going to be considering the Hesi? I remember Justin saying that there is no min score. So I guess they are just going by are grades!

well since the week is basically over with i dont think they will be sending anything out this week. justin said there were something like 500 that applied for the spring semester and they were in the process now of narrowing it down to 300 and arrange from highest gpa, etc to lowest and then they will basically divide the 300 up into 3 sections: the top 100 which would automatically get accpeted, the next 100 which would be considered for potential waitlist and then the last 100 which would get letters saying they didnt get accepted. im not sure how much the Hesi weights in consideration but i think with the interviewing gone they might look at it more .

thanks for sharing ayeisha!! I was supposed to be in your class, but I dropped at the last minute because I saw the syllabus, and it looked like something I could do from home in the online course. Thanks for sharing so much!! I really can't believe that! Just last week, we did the sophomore success program, and they did mock interviews yesterday, today, and tomorrow, but I guess it was for nothing! I really am shocked! and yeah, misspink, I guess its by grades with/without the HESI. misspink, I didn't get an email; which address did you get the email at?

me too!!! Good luck! So Goopsy if you get into TWU or UTA which one are you going to choose?

honestly, I don't know misspink! I really like both and am trying not to choose until I hear back from both schools. Both have great assets. I am really pleased, though, with UTA's network and how close the students seem to be with eachother.

Both schools are great. I applied to UTMB in galveston...I have no idea what I'm going to do if I get in both. I'll just have to make a list of pros & cons...although I love the fact that UTA has the smart hospital. Twu is great school as well! Its good to have options if we both get into the schools we applied to :) Good luck!!!

yea im soo nervous. i think im going to have to get someone else to open my letter when it comes because im going to be having a panic attack. lol. All I want to see on that letter is Congratulations, cuz anything else i know cant be good....! Im scared that i might get put on the waitlist and the problem with that is if another school decides to accept me while im on the waitlist for uta im going to have to decide if i want to take a risk and stay on the waitlist or go ahead for the other school. I really want to go to uta since thats where ive been at from the beginning.

yeah I understand! I'm just hoping the letter is a little thick and not thin....bc thin letters can not be good. I had dream that I got into UTA last night lol I'm soooo nervous now!! I don't want to be waitlisted either!!!

Ok I just got an email from Justin and he said the only thing the SON looks at for your hesi is if you have an average of a 75 on your overall hesi score. Also he reconfirmed what Ayeisha said that letters will go out at the end of this month!
