Has anyone heard back about getting accepted to their fall 2016 program? I've been going back with some of administration and they said early February.. Did previous applicants get a phone call? email? standard mail? Feeling anxious!

Summer applicants won't find out until the end of February or early March if the were part of the first wave of offer of acceptance. You will be notified by email then by snail mail. You will probably hear something in April if you are in the first wave of acceptance offers.

I applied to both summer and fall, but still haven't heard anything. Have you applied to both as well?

I've applied to both summer and fall as well and have not heard anything. I was expecting to hear back around March based on previous discussion boards.

also, has anyone else not received a transcript eval?? I have not received anything from them, and I have called twice to ask about it and the lady I have talked to wasn't very friendly. She was very brash and just gave me the automated "we're working on it."

Im kind of scared that I haven't received an evaluation because I have heard horror stories of people not recieving theirs until late in the admission process and they find numerous screw ups (which could have been avoided if they received it earlier), but they were denied admission due to mistakes on transcripts.

I have read that not everyone receives one and people accepted into the program never received a transcript evaluation. If your coursework is recent and from colleges in Texas I don't think you have much to worry about.

Hey guys just wanted to give you an update on what our schedule looks like now that we have started the program:

Monday - Health Assessment Lecture (8-9) however you will be assigned either a 9:15 or 11:15 lab time following class that will last 2 hours.

Tuesday - Adult Health Care I Lecture 1 (8-12). Care Lab will follow immediately after class from 1-4; however, you will be watching videos related to your lab that day from 12-1. Food is permitted during this time so this is also your "lunch break."

**This lab will only last until clinical's start about 6 weeks into the program.

Wednesday - Pharmacotherapeutics (9-12) and Pathophysiology (1-4)

Clinical Information: Clinicals begin mid February. You will be assigned a clinical either Thursday, Friday, or Saturday lasting from 6:30 am - 4:30 pm. No night shifts during this semester. You do have about a 24 hour grace period to switch your clinical assignment (for whatever reason) as long as you find a classmate that is also willing to swap. Best of luck!

I am also applying for Fall 2016 in UTHSCH and UTMB, havent received any evals yet.

I just got accepted to the summer 2016 so check your e-mails.

marz1 · Feb 5, 2016

That's awesome. Were you waitlisted for spring?

mpshep85 · Feb 5, 2016

No, I only applied for summer and fall 2016, but I had all my documents in before the end of October. I received my course eval in late Nov. I don't know how their selection process goes, but here are my stats for anyone if they are interested.

HESI Avg: 96

Science GPA: 3.86

Cumulative GPA: 3.44

I am also a Post Bacc student if that helps anyone.

I took all my prereqs at U of H and HBU

I didn't have to write a personal statement for summer but I did for my application in fall.

Also anyone who gets on the waitlist for the Fall 2016 start will know I will decline my spot for that so that's some good news for those folks.
