UTMB Fall 2013

Hey Megan, my name is Hallie, we met yesterday at the info session and I was asking you a few questions on the tour you gave. There was one question I totally forgot to ask you yesterday. What time are your guys classes usually from and to during the week when you're not doing clinicals?

I don't recall them mentioning Texas tomorrow. But u shld call financial aid or enrollment services to find out on specifics like that...but yes I was shocked, no clue on how I wld begin to pay that bcz I'm sure I will not qualify for financial aide bcz I don't qualify at my community college either ..

that seems like an outstanding number for the cost. maybe that is for the whole 4 semesters cause one year cant be that much, at least i hope not. i don't want to be overloaded with loans

The numbers i quoted earlier is the cost for the ENTIRE program

okay so that is for traditional bsn program. hopefully they just added on a few thousand dollars lol

How do find out your status online? Incomplete or accepted or not? And how do I get the supplemental application?

jenlove you have to receive the supp app before you can get your admit status. They send you the supp app after the school receives your transcripts from NursingCAS. Then they send you the supp app, you pay the fee, and they give you your own account with the school. If your app is complete, there is a green circle under the "Admissions" link of "Student Center", and a yellow triangle for incomplete. If there's a green check mark, that means you've been admitted, but the deadline isn't until Friday anyway, so I doubt we'll hear anything soon.

I really can't imagine that 33 THOUSAND is the real cost.. BSN Program Entrance Requirements - Tuition & Fees SON at UTMB

Thats showing the TX resident as being 12K a year in 2011-2012.. $10,000 tuition jump in 2 years...?!

Well call them and see for yourself since you can't imagine it lol. And the link u posted is outdated for example the traditional BSN no longer has summers off. The economy changes, demands are higher, thus tuition is bound to increase. Yes 10k increase is drastic but it's reality. Trust me I'm not thrilled about it either.

No no I wasnt saying you were wrong! I just wish information would be clearer on the site.. I'm sorry..

No need to apologise at all dear, I was just giving reasons to why the tuition may have gone up and tht it was an unwelcomed shock to me when they said it and gave it to us on paper...I was shocked bcz I can't qualify for financial aide and tht pretty much hit me like a brick wall, I'm sorry if my response to u seemed Crass in any way, it was totally unintentional...

I hear you with the financial aid. My parents make JUST over the limit for assistance but they don't make enough to afford the extra expenses of university tuition. I may have to end up working part time until next year when Im 23 and can file fafsa as an independent.
