UTMB Fall 2008

Published

Hi everyone,

I applied to UTMB for the Bacc-2 and didn't make the cut. Now I'm waiting to hear back for the regular BSN program. My application has been complete at UTMB since September.

Anyone else apply to UTMB?

Does anyone know when we might hear something?? I know it is still very early.

thanks

I'm sorry you feel that way... but you never know! But I DO KNOW for a fact that they are only taking 45 because they are moving to a twice a year admissions. Instead of 90-100 being accepted once a year, 45 will be accepted twice a year... I know they are hoping to increase these numbers to 100 twice a year in the next five years, but it takes time to build up staff and resources to handle that many new students. I'm sorry that this doesn't help you right now, but if you are not accepted anywhere else, then reapply for the spring of 2009.

Good Luck!

Anyone hear ANYTHING (yes, no, maybe's) or have a Enrollment services change in their status yet?

I have not heard anything and my status still says pending. Hearsay is that they have already contacted people for interviews, but I'm not sure.

Was just reading your post about an interview you had on May 9th at UTMB. I know its been awhile since then but how did your interview go and did you get accepted? I'v applied for the summer 2009 program so I'm I'll have a long wait.

How long after your interview did it take to hear something?

Hello everyone I know this thread is a little old but I have a few questions for anyone who go in or went through the application process. I'm appyling for summer 2009 and wanted to know the GPA was competitive enough for a acceptance letter. I hope I'm not throwing my $50 away!!!

I haven't met one person yet (on and offline) who applied who got in to UTMB for this Fall so, I'd be interested on hearing who actually will be starting UTMB in the Fall and what kind of stats they have.

Just curious.

I've applied for the Summer 2009 program. I'm suppose to take Pathophysiology starting next week, which is my last pre-req. requirement. I presently have a 3.7 pre-req. GPA and 4.0 science GPA. I understand that they go by so many other things not just the GPA. It's going to be a long wait because the deadline was extended to October 15th. I was told that applicant's wouldn't probably know they've been accepted into the summer program until around beginnng of January, 2009. So I'm working on having patients.

How about you?

Deb those GPAs and such will give you a good chance at getting an interview... be sure you sweeten your application/interview by having volunteer experience (preferably healthcare) but any type is better than nothing... it shows that you have a willing spirit... also be sure if and when you get an interview to be EXCITED about being a student and about UTMB... they look for that stuff in the interview...

Good luck to you all when applying to UTMB!!!:up:
