This thread is dedicated to the applicants of UT Houston's Spring 2012 application period. I've seen various threads posted throughout the discussion forum regarding the upcoming application period, but they are scattered and hard to keep track of. Maybe if we keep our discussion in one place it will be easier for us all to follow :)
I'm applying with the following stats:
Pre-req GPA: 3.21
Science GPA: 3.66
Overall GPA: 2.81
I know my chances of getting in aren't great with my overall GPA, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed anyway! Please post your stats, your thoughts, your experiences, ideas and opinions here:)
Phew!! That's a total load off my chest. I'm so glad its only one titer for Hep B. I think I'll go and get that taken care of as soon as I hear word from admissions.
I'm not sure, but I know UTHSCSA and UTMB won't let you start without all of them. I was stressing out because I thought I didn't have all 3 and someone told be about a series of Hep A&B that you can finish in 5 weeks that I was looking into getting. It's just really expensive
So if we have a hep B titer, should we include that when we send in our immunizations? I got a hep B titer when I went for my annual physical 2 weeks ago because I wasn't sure if I was immune since I had it so long ago and my record is kind of weird. It came back positive, thankfully. ^_^ I was thinking of going ahead and sending them whether I'm accepted or not, because that's one less thing I have to do if I am.
sooo I just called the Health Services to double check what immunizations are needed. The lady told me that having the series of 3 vaccinations for HepB is sufficient for the nursing school and we do not need to provide a titer for Varicella (to be accepted. At some point, they might require it, but not from the jump.)
I know the titers are really expensive and this is why I wanted to make sure it was required before spending the money on it. Has anyone else been told something different?

Now I am core complete. Can't wait for my transcript to say that!
