UTA Spring 2012

kaystarz · Nov 10, 2011

Yes, very frustrating! I got my mail super early this morning just to confirm everyone's response from UTA that letters have not gone out...

I will tell you all that I spoke with Penny this afternoon and she told me that letters for the academic partnership should go out on Monday. There was an increase in applications, staff turn-over and a system change. All of these things have delayed letters...of course, as the millionth person to suggest, it would be nice if they would communicate this to us - but they haven't and life will go on.

I have tried to sneak around the system and see if my major code changed in My Mav or if I could infact register for the Junior level courses for Spring...but alas...that effort was useless...

Ughhh I hate the waiting game...you think we were all waiting on organs!

Thanks for the update BJBailey! I have never had so much anxiety over a letter. Tomorrow is a bank/post office holiday so no need to check the mail tomorrow!

I am partnered with THR, is anyone else partnered with THR?

Had an exhausting evening waiting literally 4 hours to see advisor to get clearance to register but I did. The advisor I spoke with said they should be getting letters out next week. We shall see. I did leave a little disheartened when she said my stats (4.0 Science GPA / 3.21 prerequisite GPA) were in a gray area. She said I would be somewhat competitive but that to be really competitive one needs at least a 3.5 GPA for both calculated GPA. I wanted to think my 4.0 Science would compensate my 3.21. I hope if I do not get first pick I at least get waitlisted and depend on others declining spots.

I do not even want to think about it anymore. I will just wait for whenever the letter comes.

I wish everyone luck, though!

kaystarz Don't get down about it! There is ALWAYS that chance. Remind yourself how difficult it is in to get in without prior hospital partnership. It doesn't make me feel completely better, but it helps. That Science GPA of your's is outstanding, and your overall is still good, so keep your chin up.

Thanks Libra1018. I really appreciate the encouragement. Im feeling more positive this morning. I didn't help that the advisor I had was not my actual advisor and she was not so friendly. Not to mention I waited so long, was hungry, tired as heck and delirious. Lol I am 3 months pregnant so I was ready to get home and drop into bed.

So here's to another week of waiting. Everyone have a relaxing weekend! :)

Ready to know....ugh!!

Calling all past UTA online pharmacology students - we are coming up on the final exam and I was curious if the questions mainly come from previous tests or are the questions on the final completely new ones? HELP...am stressing about it!

tejas03 · Nov 13, 2011

@Bjbailey1972...great question..was just wondering that myself. I would really like to know this too...anyone who's taken pharmacology we need some insight!! Thanks!!

It was all new questions. I don't remember seeing any that we're previously used. There may have been one or two, but it's definitely not the type of cumulative that just takes questions from previous exams.

Were. I don't know why my iPhone wants to change were to we're.
