UTHSC Houston - Fall 2013

Published

Greetings!

I am applying to UTHSC Houston - Fall 2013. Anybody else?

Hi all, I just retook my HESI today, boosting up my vocabulary score from 74 to 90, but my A&P score goes down a little bit to 80, which is still ok though. I talked to one of the woman at UT register office today and HESI scores surely are sent to the school very quick (as I was told at the prometric testing center), so I think everyone shouldn't be afraid about the time if you're taking hesi last minute like me (but I would rather allow about a week just to make sure everything has decent amount of time to go through). And about transcript, I highly recommend everyone to double check. I thought my school had sent my transcript electronically to the school already as I had requested (My school is on the list of UT's support and my school does have UT in their own list too but I have no idea why it ended up UT did not receive my transcript). Anyway, just want to share some information with everyone, and hope y'all will do well!

Great job on getting your vocab score boosted!

Good news! I finally talked to a lady at the testing company and they told me they sent off my scores on Dec 17, so I am pretty sure they are just at the school, but they haven't put it into the system yet (so nervewrecking since they don't put them in chronologically apparently).

Yes, double checking on transcript is great; calling in just to make sure it's there even if it's incomplete.

Are we supposed to be able to see our calculated GPA on myUTH? I was going through the old postings about UT. And it seems like they could see their cauclated GPA on the uth link. I'm not sure if this "uth link" and "myUTH" are 2 different things? I'm so confused here...

I never saw my calculated GPA on myUTH. I did see it when they sent me a transcript evaluation (a year ago back in March). Some people got evaluations others didn't. . .also don't freak if you don't get one, it doesn't necessarily mean youll get denied. Good luck guys!

Thank you, Jessbird! Good to know that I'm not missing anything. I waited to send my transcript till the end of Fall semester, so I guess that is why I still haven't got the evaluation yet. Or, maybe I won't like you said.

So basically because I made below their minimum for critical thinking (I had a 740 and they recommended a 750), they won't use my hesi scores at all. And I have no chance of applying now. I did not know this.

jh408,

I'm sorry to hear that. But, I'm thinking if you retake HESI ASAP by the deadline, you may be still able to apply. When I asked the person at UTHSC about the HESI scores, she said that all January scores will be received by deadline. So, I'm assuming you will be fine as long as you take it sometime this week? I would double check with school about it though. But, please do not lose hope!

FYI, I retook mine on Jan 7, and my HESI in to do list has been removed. So, I think the score gets to school quickly?

Yes, although I wouldn't have enough time to prepare myself for it, and I do not want to risk scoring worse on all the other sections since they require you take them all again if you must retake it. I don't want to lose all my mid-high 90s scores in the other sections. My most recent scores would be the one that count for the other schools. Plus the other schools, A&M and HBU do not require CT and A&M will only allow you one attempt per application period.

It's rather disappointing since I had been trying to contact them for almost a month trying to figure out why my scores weren't being uploaded.

My HESI score is finally removed on my To Do List this afternoon. I took my test back in December. Guess they are finally entering scores now.

The lady I talked to told me HESI scores on to do list may even never be removed even though the school already received it (for some reasons I don't know). I'm going to call them back tomorrow to see why my transcript is still on to do list but TSI proof has been removed (TSI proof is included in the transcript so it's kinda weird if they entered my TSI proof and missed my transcript). This is worrying me so much because deadline is so close. If they, for some reason, lost my transcript, I don't know if I would be able to request another one on time.

Your transcript may be "incomplete" if you are taking classes for spring or do not have all your Fall semester grades posted on it. Apparently that does not affect your application status, however. You can, however, call the Registrar's Office and ask them if they have your transcript. That is what I did even though it is on my to-do list.

For those of you who have everything but a transcript with incomplete grades (i.e. from this spring) gone off of your to-do list, what does it say when you look under application status? Mine says "incomplete" and I know they've received everything except my final transcript which won't be ready until this spring. I'm assuming its because of that one transcript, but I just want to make sure since the deadline is coming up.
