UTHSC-Houston Fall 2012 Applicants

U.S.A. Texas

Published

Hello everyone! This thread is for everyone applying to the University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston. I believe they will be accepting applications from January 15-April 1, so the sooner the better! Their admission requirements are pretty standard:

Minimum Pre-Req Gpa: 2.75

Minimum Science Gpa: 3.0

Minimum HESI A2 score: 75% or higher on all required sections - math, reading comprehension, vocabulary/general knowledge, grammar, anatomy and physiology, critical thinking.

My info is really not that competitive, but I'm going to give it a shot anyways -

Pre-Req Gpa: 3.30

Science Gpa: 3.0 (Barely cutting it! :crying2: )

Overall Gpa: 3.28

Hesi score: 93.3% overall, with my lowest score being a 90.

My gpa is not the best, but I still have 3 more classes to finish this semester, and I'm aiming for all A's! I think the best thing I have going for me is my HESI scores.

Anyone else planning on applying? What are your stats? Any questions? Lets hear them, and good luck to all who are applying!

Nothing on my end either. I think my computer is broken... hahahahaha. grrrrrr. ;)

Gsus.. did u ever hear anything back???

Yeah they took about 2 hours to respond but they updated it. :) This is the email that I received, "The correction has been made and a new evaluation will be sent to the school you applied to."

ok great... just checking :)

did anyone else apply to anywhere else, if not why?, just asking

@ GirlontheRuN ..... I think only the accelerated applicants have a solid acceptance/denial decision at his point. you were accepted to the May start accelerated program, correct?

I really think that they will change the online status Sunday night/Monday morning. I applied last semester, and my status online never changed, and I received a denial letter on exactly Nov. 15th. AND my stats last semester were good-

GPA-4.0

science GPA- 4.0

Hesi 89

C.T- 860

Also, last semester I had 2 holds on the UTLink system the whole time.

My whole point here is that there seem to be no easy pattern to predict if you were accepted until you see the green check. With the new MYUTH system, who knows if the holds mean anything or not? So nobody should feel discouraged if they don't have holds yet.

With that said, I wish that they would hurry up and let us know! Has anybody gotten any postal mail today yet?

Saraiish,

I applied and have been accepted to UTMB and TWU. This is the last school I am very anxiously waiting to hear from!!! how about you?

I was also accepted to both TWU & UTMB. Although I am waiting to hear from UTHSC before I make a final decision.

@liilou- I'm curious about your holds. What do you mean that you had 2 holds the whole time? The entire application period or just at the end?

I agree with you for the most part. Though, based on previous semesters, UTH does have a pretty consistent track record of updating holds before updating acceptance statuses. Again, this was for most people. I can't remember anyone from last year who had hold changes and were not accepted. At the same time I don't remember anyone being accepted without hold changes; this doesn't mean that it hasn't happened of course.

Later today or Monday would be the soonest we'd see status changes. The registrars office isn't there on the weekends or past 5pm weekdays to update. Here's to hoping for further confirmation soon.

@Krique39 .... I had 2 holds the entire application process for my previous application to the Spring 2012 semester on the old UTlink system. The were the CPR and Immunizations holds. They also never changed my application status. I can still log in on the old UTlink and it still says "pending a decision" for the spring 2012 semester.

My holds from UTLink were not transferred to the newer myUTH portal. The holds I see today are new.

I made a last minute decision(last semester) to pursue nursing, and I was only able to apply to UTHSC this application period. This is my number 1/only choice so im keeping my fingers crossed.

If im not accepted, Im going to take the TEAS V and apply broadly for spring 2013.. Which im hoping is not the case, because I want to enjoy my summer lol
