UTMB Accelerated Program Summer 2014

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.

Thank you jhw1 for the response. Gives me a little bit of hope!

Congrats on getting accepted!

Hey y'all I just made a facebook group for the class. Here is the link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/803734609643730/ . Or you can search for it under UTMB SON Summer Class of 2015. Let me know if the link doesn't work!

zrobinson1230 - The link works great. Thanks for starting the facebook page!

Congrats muinatay! I know the excitement...See you in May!

Thank you lwillis :)

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?

Donovan,

It will probably depend on if/when you submit your FAFSA. For Summer term you need to submit the 2013-2014 FAFSA which will require your 2012 taxes. For Fall/Spring terms you need to submit the 2014-2015 FAFSA which will require your 2013 taxes to complete. UTMB requires that your FAFSA be linked to your IRS return so they know it is accurate, so essentially your taxes need to be submitted prior to your submitting the FAFSA.

If you have already completed the FAFSA for 2013-2014 for Summer term you will probably have an email/financial aid to review in the next couple of weeks based on my conversations with Enrollment Services.
