UTMB Fall 2018

Nursing Students School Programs

Published

Hey! I wanted to make this post because I didn't see a thread for those who are applying to UTMB Galveston Fall 2018. I know application hasn't open yet, but I just took my teas score. I have no idea if it is good enough for UTMB standards. I currently have 40 hours, but by the end of this semester I will have around 53 credit hours. I have no idea how I should even start my personal statement. Would you guys be willing to share your stats? Any questions or comments please feel free to post! :)

My stats are

TEAS:

82% Overall

-Reading: 85.1%

-Math: 87.5%

-Science: 78.7%

-English and Language Use: 75.0%

GPA: 3.9 Overall

I emailed UTMB and as long as your application is submitted by the deadline you're fine.

Was it always like that? As long as you submitted your application before the deadline?

Hello all! I just submitted my application today! Did you all limit your personal statement to 700 words? According to the utmb site there was the maximum but NCAS didn't specify.

Well I was told by the admissions counselor that they start reviewing after deadline. They review by when the app was received. So even if you're a perfect candidate, but they have all spots filled your out of luck. But they will look at every single application. So my guess is that if spots are filled but you're a good candidate they might grant you a spot in the following semester.

Interesting. I emailed the admissions counselor and she told me that as long as we submitted the application by January 15th we were fine. Wish she would've told me they go by when it's received, then I would've planned my TEAS exam accordingly. Ugh...hopefully I'm not screwed

This is Katherine's reply to my question

While we review every applicant who completes an application on time equally, we do review as we receive. Meaning if you apply early you will most likely be reviewed sooner. There are only 132 spots to fill, so once the spaces are filled, even if you are competitive, there may be no additional space in the program.

I was told 750 words for the personal statement. Where did you see 700?

I just found it on the website. How strange! At the Open House, Ms. Jen Spruce said 750 words. Either way, I was just about to submit and quickly shortened mine to 700. Better safe than sorry! Thank you for posting that!

Overall GPA = 3.437

Prereq GPA = 3.09

Science GPA = 2.72

TEAS Test 1:

Composite = 84.7

Reading = 87.2

Math = 100

Science = 72.3

English = 79.2

TEAS Retake:

Composite = 90.7

Reading = 91.5

Math = 100

Science = 85.1

Reading = 83.3

I took almost all of my classes at Texas A&M College Station and have never withdrawn/dropped a class or retaking a class (which I know they look at). My personal statement and resume are both strong. Do y'all think my 90.7% on my TEAS will help me a lot since my GPAs are so low??? Or do I not have a chance? :(

I think the minimum requirement for science gpa is 2.75 hopefully it won't matter since your TEAS scores are high.
