UTMB Fall 2017

Nurse2BeCam, ADN · Mar 29, 2017

Oh man, I'm riddled with nerves now. I interviewed on the 23rd and haven't heard back yet. When I left UTMB I felt SO confident about my interview with how well it went, and now I'm second guessing myself thinking maybe it hadn't gone as well as I thought it had. 700 applicants? Oh. My. God. Yeah, that is crazy.. I'm super super nervous for an answer now. Does anyone have a back up plan?

not sure, she never specified which one!

To hear from them for an interview, or acceptance/rejection?

@cdh116, so you were offered to start in the summer even though you applied for Fall? I'm surprised you received a waitlist invitation then. That's odd that you were offered both but then put on the waitlist but then accepted, or am I just confused here? It seems to be like you should've been accepted right off the bat. :down:

They sent emails out to students that they thought were well rounded candidates and offered them the chance to be considered for summer admission. Even if I would have been rejected for summer term my fall application would still be in place to be considered for that term admission. During my interview I was told people who received the email to start a term earlier would most likely automatically be put on the waiting list. Today I got a call and was told I can choose to be apart of the summer term or the fall term as I was accepted into both. I guess some people must have declined admission for the summer term and that took me off the waitlist for that term. I hope that makes sense.

I keep checking my email like literally every 15 minutes. It's become obsessive. I hate not knowing.

OH, so you were put on the Waitlist for Summer but accepted into Fall, and then they ended up needing spots to fill in Summer? I think I understand now. :up:

Don't worry lol, they usually get about 800 applicants in the fall anyway. And I interviewed on the 13th and am waiting still so im sure you'll wait a little longer! They've said anywhere from 2-6 weeks to hear back

Woot! I'm in! Got the email for early admission yesterday! Good luck to everyone, I hope to see you on the other side!

yes basically lol! But I'm going to decline both offers since I received admission acceptance before them from TWU and some scholarship money.

When did you interview? Congrats!

sara_christeacher · Mar 30, 2017

I didn't know if you were talking to me or someone else...but I didn't interview. I was offered early admission because I met the qualifications for the honors program. So now I can start that application process. :-)

Good luck!

(My stats were 4.0 gpa in all prereqs and a 3.8 overall with a 87 TEAS, I'm in AP2 right now so I had to take it before I had even started AP2)

The same thing happened to me. They emailed me saying I could be considered to start in the summer vs the fall, unfortunately I had to turn it down as I'm still finishing classes. I had an interview with them over spring break for the first waive of applicants, but I still haven't heard anything else from them.
