UTMB Accelerated BSN Summer 2013

[csmo]

The application opened for this program just opened the other day, and I wanted to see if I could reach out to anyone else applying!

I've submitted my application, and took the TEAS V Test this morning!

I graduated Texas A&M with a Biology Degree this year and during completion of this degree I realized Nursing is where I want to be! Hope to hear from others!

I agree with the two previous posts. A lot of personal arrangements have to be made in advance, so waiting until just two months before classes start is cutting it very close. Also, I only applied to one school and hope to get into UTMB. If you got accepted to UTMB are still waiting on your "first choice" (and it's not UTMB), be grateful, as some of us are still playing the waiting game.

disperado75 - I'm also having an issue with mystar, so don't worry. I think it's a technical problem on their end.

If anyone is having problems with mystar try the original password utmb sent.

My Star is back up

I interviewed on 1/23 and just today mystar changed to admitted for me. Talk about anxiety levels going through the roof. Good luck to those still waiting and for those already admitted is there a fb page out there?

Does anyone know what the results of the titer tests should look like on the Immunization Form? Do we just put the date we got lab work done and then: immune or not immune?

And Congrats to everyone else who has recently been accepted!

Thanks,

Sarah

Sarah,

I had just had the nurse attach a signed copy of the form they fill out for tb results stapled along with the form utmb provided. I hope that will work.

I know we have to do a background check- after April 11th right? Did they say anything about a drug screening- I feel like we should have to submit one but I do not recall reading about it. I need to go back and look at all of the info. So much to take in! But I can not complain!

Is any one considering living in the dorms? Since our program is just one year I think I could stick it out.

ALSO: has anyone received anything about tuition payments or deposits? I would just hate to miss turning something in.

Congrats to everyone.

Congrats to everyone. I still haven't heard anything since my interview, but fingers still crossed. Is anyone else's Mystar not working? I checked it earlier but now I can't get in.

[DeeGeeNurse2Be]

Ok disregard that message. I can now access Mystar.

Congratulations to everyone that has been accepted to the program! I am still waiting for an e-mail, letter in the mail or the MyStar status to change to a green check. At this point, I am starting to doubt my acceptance. Maybe no news is good news and I will hear something last minute (wishful thinking). Does anyone know for sure if we are supposed to hear something by March 1? The deadline is approaching.....very anxiously waiting!

[DeeGeeNurse2Be]

I'm assuming we should hear accept, deny or waitlisted by March 1st. It seems like they've already sent out most acceptances. The deadline to respond to those were Feb. 25th. So for those that didn't accept it opened up a few more spots for acceptance. I guess once they get that figured out they will let the rest of us know wether we are waitlisted or denied. Did you submit an application for their traditional track as well?

Okay, I've been trolling the forum for a month or so now (hiiiiii). Admittedly, I need to vent! This waiting game is getting to me now.

I interviewed on 2/7 and thought it was the last day but when I called this week they were still holding interviews. I have yet to hear anything from UTMB. I got into UTH-HSC but UTMB is my first choice. Plus, UTHHSC is being difficult about three of my courses...which I would need to retake and finish by the start date. I have a couple of grievances with them.le sigh.

I was told that UTMB will notify all applicants by March 1st- same day that UTHHSC acceptance must be declined or accepted.

I'm starting to doubt I've got accepted but clinging to hope.

Anyone have a tally count of UTMB applicants who have accepted?

[doublewhammy]

I received an acceptance email yesterday, but I have already accepted admission at UTHSC-H. That will open up a spot for anyone who might end up on a wait list.

I did notice that they want you to have all your immunizations taken care of by March 1? If so, that's insanity. Hopefully for those admitted it's just a typo, as the email said they need your yay/nay response by March 11.
