Hi everyone! Just thought I'd start a thread for those who are applying to UTMB for Fall 2011. There are some really great (and long!) threads out there for Spring 2011 and earlier...but as I'm sure y'all know, the application process can change from cycle to cycle, plus it's just nice to have a new thread for us. :) So feel free to post questions, comments, or anything related to applications!
I'm applying as a second-degree student to UTMB, UTHSC, TWU (Houston), UT Arlington and A&M, plus maybe the new Texas State program. Whew! I keep hearing great things about UTMB so that might be my #1....
A question to start us off: so we can now use either the centralized NursingCAS application, or the application through UTMB, right? What are you all going to do? I'm thinking of just doing UTMB's direct application....if you do NursingCAS, I think you'll have to do a supplemental UTMB application+fee anyway, so you might as well just do it all once...thoughts?
Hello again everyone! So I have a major issue. I live in the Houston area. If I do end up studying at UTMB, I was planning on moving to Galveston. Now, I have an issue! I've heard that clinicals will be in Galveston and ALSO in Houston at the med-center, etc. And that would be really, REALLY tiring trying to drive back and forth :/ I'm not sure what to do or how the students at UTMB do it. Does anyone have any more information about this or suggestions?
i'am in the same boat i also live in houston and i have heard, but don't quote me on it that if u leve in houston they will try to set up clinicals in houston. i read it in the fall 2010 threads, but i think im just gonna move to the island.
Yeah, I think they'll try to give you a site in your area, but that may also depend on how many people live in each place. I also wonder if it'll change up each semester...like are we each going to have a semester when we'll be driving a ton, no matter where we live? Hmm. I live in Austin now, so am planning to just move to the island.
I read in the paper this week that Metro and UTMB are starting a park and ride bus service from the Victory Lakes facility to UTMB main campus in Galveston.
I'm not sure what my plans are with moving if I do get accepted, but I guess I'll decide that later and carpooling can be arranged :) I'm really nervous about acceptance from reading all of the other threads! **** has told me that the overall gpa pool for the applicants of Fall 2011 are from 3.3-3.4.
No, my Mystar doesn't show anything! All it says is that I have completed my application. But it said that before I even sent in my transcript I emailed **** and asked how I will be able to find out if my application is entirely complete, so she should reply by tomorrow morning.
How long did it take you guys to get your econnect information from the time you applied? And does it show you if they've received transcripts etc? I just decided to apply so am having to rush a couple of things, and I know the deadline will get here before I know it.
It was about one week after I sent in my App that I got the mystar login via email. It does not show anything on my transcripts though. Anyone know what number to call to verify transcripts and teas score receipt at UTMB?
