UTMB FALL 2014

Published

I would like to start a thread for UTMB FALL 2014 since there I cannot find one. I am in the process of applying and this is the only school I am applying to. Right now, I just trying to finish my personal statement before I can submit it. I am a bit nervous and excited at the same time.So, how is everyone else doing?

So if you've submitted the NursingCAS application but have not received the supplemental application before deadline, is the application not considered?? Thanks!

I am also wondering the same thing. I thought it was as long as your application on NursingCAS was complete then it was fine, but with GPA calculations and transcripts and whatnot I am confused.

@AScibby86 I was afraid I was the only thinking that! Well I know that transcripts coming late is not a problem cause the UTMB operator told me it was out of my control so I should not worry too much about it as long as I keep checking up on it. So I guess that goes for GPA calculations also. I was reading on the UTMB page (and other schools regarding NursingCAS) and apparently it comes after submission, so I think we'll be ok???

Thank you for the info! I feel so much better! Did you visit UTMB's campus? I went to UTMB and UTH's open houses.

My transcript FINALLY was received by NursingCAS today! I guess now I'm just awaiting GPA calculation. I really hope our applications will be considered despite missing transcripts/GPA calculations.

@AScibby86 No prob, I'm not 100% sure though! If you find out anything, please let me know! I couldn't go because I'm in Austin and I'm not the greatest driver (ha-ha). But did you find out anything from them?? So I could only call them to find out everything b/c I was really scared that my application would be thrown out.

I was told as long as everything is submitted and received by NCAS by the 15th day it's all good. They'll transmit to UTMB when GPA verification is done.

@nlh579: I will def let you know if I find something out. I live about halfway between UTH and UTMB. Whenever I first decided on nursing school, I had my mind made up on UTH but when I visited UTMB I fell in love with the campus. I have always lived in the suburbs so the city kind of scares me, lol. As far as finding out anything - it was pretty much reiterating what is on their website. I know that they are conducting interviews again, it is 4 consecutive semesters, and that they accept about 120 students.

@raidergirl95: thank you for the info!

they're not answering the phone at the moment.

Does anyone know if the science GPA includes all science courses (including non pre-requisite) or only science pre-requisites?

@inspiredbynavy I'm not positive but I imagine it is just science pre-requisites. I don't know why they would do all science classes.

Hey everyone! Okay I don't know if I'm dumb or over thinking, but the question on NCAS that asks, "Did you complete a GED?" What did yall put for that? I graduated high school with a diploma, but I never got a GED, so do I just put no?

If you graduated from hs, put no :)
