Anyone else apply to UTMB?

Just wondering if anyone else it out there waiting in agony?

So i remember when 1st applying to UTMB that a lady said they would choose who would be in the 2 and 3 year programs. Anybody know if this is true? Im not sure if we just register for the classes listed under the programs or if they will tell us.

hrmmm never heard about that b4.... that should not happen. 2 year program are prolly for Full time student and 3 year is for part time students. I dont think they have the right to choose what year you go too bc i know i am a 2 year student

so the check in and breakfast for SON orientation is from 7:30-8:30..so does this mean we can show up anytime between that period or do we have to be there at 7:30. I need to turn in my immunization paper but my doctor has not been in to sign off on it and so i have to wait until someone gets there to get it signed on monday...(they open technically at 8 but people usually get there early)

I am very dissappointed to say that i did not receive ANY correspondence from UTMB. when i called the school, they said accept/reject letters should be mailed out end of June or early July.

it is now september for christ's sake! SEPTEMBER!....

i am wondering what happened, or if they lost my application. if i paid $30 to apply for nursing school, i think i deserve a letter in a timely fashion stating if i'm in or not.

i'd rather get a rejection letter than sit here and get silent treatment.

Is there anyone still waiting for their admission letter from UTMB?

did you ever receive a letter from utmb? (not that i'm still waiting for it, i've given up!)

ur not the only one! I received nothing also. But it really shows you what kind of school they are, even if I was accepted I still would have to decline because two weeks is NOT enough time to get prepared to attend school in a different city. There process makes no sense to me.

it's good to know i'm not alone out there. i spoke with someone who works for their staff anonymously online, and he/she said that they lose applications often, and they are disorganized. if their own staff doesn't believe in the program, who will? you are right, 2 weeks is not enough time to make a decision. it is like making the decision to change your whole life's path!

Even though my application was not lost i also had trouble with my papers getting there. What you really have to do is call them up and ask them if they have it or go up there yourself and have them bring it up to prove to you that they have it. I mailed my acceptance into the program a week before it was due and even got a mail tracker on it..and still a week later it had not shown that they had it. So i had to print out copies of the forms i already filled out and go up there and make them give me a reciet that they recieved them. I dont know where the 2 weeks thing comes into play..i got my letter at the end of May. And i guess people dropped out at the last minute because a few people were admitted a day before orientation...but the nursing school is great, its just the administration that not so good.

I agree with Dramaangel. I was accepted a day after orientation. Originally, I had not recieved an acceptance/rejection letter so I called the admission's office. The staff may not be 100% organized, but they are friendly and open to phone calls. After calling them, 2 weeks later I got accepted. I think being persistent and personally coming to the school helps put a face next to your application. I strongly suggest new applicants to attend our information sessions that occur on a monthly basis.

It's an honor to be part of the professional atmosphere of UTMB. I woudn't want to be anywhere else!

Has anyone applying for the bacc2 program heard from UTMB? I called a few days ago and heard from an admissions advisor that applications are being reviewed and that letters should be sent out in a few weeks.

I think I remember them mentioning in the information session that the bacc2 students would know whether they are admitted by December, which means interview letters should have already been sent out.

So, anyone heard anything?
