Hey! I am applying for the Accelerated BSN program at UT Health Science Center Houston that starts in the summer and had couple of questions. I didn't see any topics regarding that particular session (saw the Spring 2014 one) so I started this one.
So I have most of my prereqs for nursing but I still need to take my science prereqs during the upcoming fall semester. I had taken most of the prereqs (like english, psychology, etc) during high school, like dual credit, and now I just need my science classes and a few extra prereqs (like sociology).
The main question that I had about the application process was if I am eligible to apply just yet? I want to enter the summer term and will complete all my prereqs by Spring 2014. But the deadline is Dec 1 (if i'm right). Would I have to complete my science prereqs first? Or could I send in what I have and continually update them with my grades? I will complete all other requirements before the deadline (taking the HESI in October), but my grades won't be complete till after the deadline.
Thanks in advance for any help and i'm looking forward to other applicants for this session!
I wish they would go ahead and change mine to the green circle. I have called them several times and made sure that they did in fact have everything they need, and their answer has been yes every time. So I now have emailed several people with hopes that it would get changed, but it has not helped as of yet.
I was told that as long as you've had someone confirmed that they have everything to not worry about myUTH. They hardly ever update it. When did you turn in your application? They might not've gotten very far yet in what I'm sure is a large stack of applicants.
If I'm still taking classes for my prereqs will the application status stay a yellow triangle and not affect whether or not I get in?
If you are still enrolled in classes your status will remain a yellow triangle, even if you have everything in. I know this from applying in the fall. I still had 2 classes to take and while I was taking them, I had a yellow triangle, even though they had all my stuff. You will still be considered for the program.
I am still finishing my prereqs and my status is a green circle. I assume that means they have everything they need.
That's interesting. On the transcript you sent in to the school, were you already registered for the classes you are taking now? The transcript would say "in progress" for those classes.

Thank you. I was a bit worried and haven't checked my application status for UT Health in awhile because I've been focusing on my UTMB application.
So you're yellow triangle eventually changed to either accepted or denied once they made the decision? But it never got to greeN?

Exactly. My yellow triangle turned to a denied and not because of my application was incomplete, but because they denied me for entry.

Good point, I'm not entirely sure whether or not I sent in the transcript before or after I registered for classes. In either case, I'm just glad it's green.

I have read posts on this website that we will know something as soon as mid February to mid April. Can others chime in on this and tell us what you know and what your sources are? I haven't called to ask and I figure they are too busy to be bothered with those types of questions right now.
Also, I had prerequisites outstanding and my application showed the green dot. As long as everything is in you are good. The yellow triangle doesn't necessarily mean they are missing something though. My UTH is not reliable, so as others have suggested, make the call to ensure they have what they need. Good luck to everyone!
Am I supposed to get some sort of confirmation when my application is completed? They send out the GPA calculations by mail as well right? If I get that will that mean my app was finished and reviewed? And how long does it usually take to get that?
