UTMB FALL 2015

U.S.A. Texas

Published

Hello everyone! I think it's finally time for someone to start a fall thread so here it goes. I am applying to UTHSC and UTMB for fall semester. I gave my teas test today and idk if that score is good enough or not. My GPA is 4.0 and teas individual score is 81. How did everyone else do in their test?

Hi everyone

I just requested my transcripts to be sent to Nursing CAS yesterday from my prior schools. I am worried they will not be received in time. I emailed UTMB and they told me as long as they have them it's ok but I have a bad feeling. Anybody else worried about that?

I just finished up my personal statement. It is about a page and a half. How long should it be?

These are my stats...

Overall GPA: 3.37

PreReq GPA: 3.47

Science GPA: 3.75

TEAS: 80

Reading: 91

Math: 87

Science: 71

ELA: 70

Not sure if its competitive enough. I found the science part of the TEAS to be tough and I must have just fallen asleep for the ELA part. That's never been an issue for me.

I also have a AA in Business Admin and a BA in Finance. 2nd career.

Hope I get in for the Fall but if not, I will re-apply in the Spring 2016. I am also applying to UT Houston for the Fall 2015 and to TWU for the Spring 2016 since I have not taken A&P II or Micro which is required prior to applying. Is everyone else applying to multiple schools?

I just received my supplemental application. :)

It took NCAS 5 days to receive my transcript, 2 weeks to verify it, and about a day to receive the supplemental application.

Hey ALynn,

I am applying to UTMB and TWU and PVAMU, and some schools out of state. I'm taking my TEAS Friday ( super nervous !) and still need to finish my personal statement which I want to be awesome. I really want to get into UTMB and have faith that no matter what I'll end up in a great program 😃

Is there anyone who has yet to submit there application? I hate I'm this late but waiting on my TEAS. I'll be submitting my app this weekend.

Which out of state schools are you applying to?

OUHSC in Oklahoma, NSC in Nevada, and Concordia University in California. I have a few others that I may apply to later in the year but really want to attend a Texas school so I am focused on those. What about you?

Hey KALFRN14 -

How stiff is the competition for PVAMU? I might as well apply there too. Just need to take my HESI I guess sometime in February. How is that compared to the TEAS?

I really want to get into UTMB as well. Love the campus and the program.

Hey guys, I got my supplement questions today and it has an option to send personal statement again. Do I need to submit personal statement on supplement questions again if I already sent it with NursingCAS application?

I didn't submit my personal statement again because I already did it through NCAS.

I heard PVAMU isn't too competitive but the application process is daunting and they are selective. I would apply there and keep your options open, apply anywhere you can. I am even applying to ADN programs just as backups. I feel the HESI is wayyyyyy easier than TEAS. HESI is very straightforward on what you need to know and it's exactly on the test, but it's an 8 section exam that is timed as a whole and not by sections like the TEAS. I suck at standardized test and the TEAS kicked my butt previously. It is very random as far as what you need to know. I am praying for an 80+ on my TEAS Friday because I've studied extremely hard for it. Have you taken the HESI before?

Hey guys, joining this conversation a little late here, but I received an email earlier today that my transcript had been verified. How soon after that should I receive the supplement question, and will it come via email or on the NursingCAS site? Thanks all and good luck to everyone!
