UTMB Accelerated Program Summer 2014

dannic · Jan 20, 2014

Hi everyone! Just wanted to know if anyone has heard anything about anymore acceptances, interviews, rejections, or wait lists? I feel like I'm completely lost with this admission process. Does anyone know when they plan on wrapping things up for the summer 2014 class? Any insight would help greatly!

Hey dannic, I spoke with UTMB and they said they are still doing interviews. Hopefully we hear something soon!

Jmk31, thanks for the response! I'm surprise there aren't more people on the forum, so we can find out more on what's going on.

Yes, I have to agree with you. I looked on other years and it looks like most people find out by March. But, I also know this is the first year they are doing interviews again so it might be different.

The acceptance letters appear to be giving applicants two-three weeks to accept the offer, assuming all acceptance letters follow a similar timeframe to mine. I would assume that based on this, applicants will continue to hear from UTMB for a while as people accept or decline and spots are either taken or given up.

I recommend starting to collect your immunization records. Depending on where you are requesting them from it can take a few days (or longer) for state/city/county Department of Health's to receive and process your request. This is assuming that they are able to find your immunization record - if they can't you will have to try and find all of your past doctors to request it directly from them. This will prove beneficial to you for this program and any other programs you applied to once accepted. Starting now will also give you adequate time to get titers and any necessary vaccines based on those results.

There are 80 spots in the course and the school said NursingCAS forwarded 150 applications that had been completed and met the application requirements prior to the deadline - so everyone has a decent chance of being accepted. I would imagine many applicants applied to multiple schools and some of them may not see UTMB as their first choice.

Good luck to those still waiting to hear back!

If someone wants to start a facebook page for those who have accepted an offer - I would be interested in joining.

Congratulations to those accepted. Does anyone know when we will receive information regarding scholarships and financial aid? I kind of feel out of the loop. Has anyone received some information about this?
