Hi everyone, I just wanted to begin a thread for all UT Health SON students who are applying for Summer 2017. I didn't see a thread created for this term yet. I look forward to getting to know all of you as we begin this long journey. Feel free to share anything regarding the application process and/or ask any questions that you may have!
Another school I applied to is actually kind of worse. Their advisor for the program is no longer with the school, and they failed to notify applicants, that processing is delayed for that reason. I'd been sending emails for weeks with no response. Yesterday I called, and they told me I had been processed but it will take a while to evaluate Houston students since the person responsible was no longer with the school. LOL. Like I said that was a different school though...
what school is that?
Here's an update for anyone who has not received an evaluation yet- I spoke with an individual in the registrars office who told me that not everyone receives an evaluation. The school of nursing sends them a list of who to evaluate and then forwards those GPA's to the admissions council. According to her, they decide who to request evaluations for by looking at HESI scores. She also confirmed that an evaluation has not been done nor requested for me. Weird because I made a 96 on the HESI.
Knowing this makes me feel like my app won't even make it to the admissions council. I pray that I am wrong. I called the school of nursing to confirm this information to no avail. I can't reach anyone. Feeling discouraged today.

This is very confusing to me. I also made a 96% on the HESI and have not received a transcript evaluation. I hope this doesn't mean i won't even be looked at... considering my gpa isn't too shabby either. This process is becoming tiresome to me tbh... I just wish there was more transparency.

Thank you for the update! Don't be discouraged! They need to get their process together. When I spoke with them about a week ago, they told me that to get one, we have to request it for ourselves - by the school of nursing, and then I was also told that the school of nursing has to request it - by the registrar's office. I'm not sure what to believe, but they did tell me not to worry...and I'm trying, but:eek:.
*I just spoke with the registrar's office, again, and they told me what they told you, and transferred me to a person in the school of nursing. The woman said that everyone gets looked at even if they don't get an evaluation. She didn't seem to be having a very good day, so she was done with the conversation after I asked about the evaluations.
Exactly, they didn't find anyone. I had several friends in the building, and the surrounding buildings. I heard the whole med center was a mess. My mom was home, and she said it was unbearable, because we live near by and there was a lot of noise. The school was also probably busy, because I'm sure there were students in the building. It was still scary for those there until everything was cleared.
I heard there were calls of an active shooter in the building which led to lockdown but im not sure if they found the shooter. Just what I had previously read.
"processing documents" is what they told us the week decisions came out last time. so.... not to up everyone's anxiety. Also, do you guys know what happened in the med center today? Ben Taub was on lockdown, and they had to deal with all sorts of craziness... Just sayin'
Will "processing documents" show up in the place of the complete green circle?

Hi! I understand your frustration. This is my second time applying and never received a transcript evalution. When I called them the other week, it was basically a back and forth between the registrar's office and the school of nursing. No one could give me a definitive answer:banghead:. Try calling blocked and see if they'll answer.
