UTMB FALL 2010 (University of Texas Medical Branch)

U.S.A. Texas

Published

UTMB Fall 2010 Application period starts tomorrow Nov. 15, 2009

Who here is applying for it?

Btw, there is the ATI TEAS entrance exam for FALL 2010.

Anyone taken it yet?

I can't seem to find the registration for it in the atitesting.com.

Yes TWU my GPA is 3.7, so it looks better but I think because they use the overall GPA a lot of people will have around 3.3-3.6 instead of all the 3.8-4.2 GPAs that TWU sees (also, the ppl already attending TWU in Denton get a .4 bump on their GPA, so it makes it harder for transfer students to get into the program).

Anyway, I didn't know that about the dorms that's amazing! If I got accepted I'd definitely be looking into that, and if they didn't have space I'll be searching for a roomie for an apartment. Like I said, I'll make it work somehow! =)

A friend of mine graduated from UTMB last year and I remember she had classes a few times a week and clinicals once a week (but I remember her saying that when she first started she would have clinicals twice a week for half the time as the once/week). I don't know if it just depends on what term you're in, like maybe it'll change up a little each semester, or if it's just changed since she left.

I'm so glad some more people have joined in!

My overall GPA is a 3.59 and my prereq GPA isn't far from that, but my science GPA is a 3.75. UTMB is definitely my first choice, but I applied to three other schools as back ups. It is kind of a relief to hear that UTMB had a 3.2 GPA average for the 2009 class. When I went to the information session back in March, they said that they usually started to except people around the 3.3 range and upwards.

A&M is my first and UTMB is actually my second choice. Even though I live in Clear Lake, I have heard the teachers are exceptional at A&M. I would love to got to either school.

Does anyone know what UTMB is looking for as far as the TEAS scores? I haven't been able to find any information on what acceptable scores are.

My sister-in-law, who is also applying to UTMB Fall 2010, called and asked a counselor questions about the TEAS. They basically told her not to worry about it and made it sound like it was going to be used to determine the standard for the spring 2011 applicants. I'm not thinking the TEAS scores will play a major role in acceptance.

Thanks for the info. I keep getting a voicemail when I call in.

I keep hearing that! I hope that's the case because I only got a 78%. Compared to the Mean and Program Averages that was good lol, but it's not very high. I'm hoping they won't use them at all. I'm afraid they might use them as a means to weed people out toward the end though.

I haven't received my QuickLink username and password yet.

In my support statement I talked about what made me want to become a nurse, why I think I'll make a good nurse, and I also gave some reasons as some of my lower grades on my transcripts.

My score report says TEAS V on the top so I'm guessing it's that one.

Thanks so much! I'll go ahead and order that one and then double check with the school.

Good luck!

If you register through atitesting, it asks you what school and when you choose UTMB all the test-day options say UTMB on it... I thought it was pretty straightforward...
