UTMB Galveston Spring 2021

Published

I am going to apply to UTMB Galveston's spring 2021 program. I have a 3.7 overall GPA and a 3.9 prereq GPA. I'm taking the TEAS this Friday and was wanting know if anyone could tell me whether I'd be a competitive applicant. The only other thing I have is that I've worked at a doctor's office walking back patients, taking vitals, inputting and updating patients meds, etc. for about four years. I have looked at other threads for utmb and it seems most people who got in or at least were considered had higher gpas than I do. Also, does anyone know the wait period for retaking the UTMB for the TEAS? I'm having a hard time finding it.

You are competitive. But, make sure the TEAS score is high and that you have an amazing personal statement. Don’t worry you got this!

It probably depends on how well you do on your TEAS but you're great so far!

Thanks y'all, I made a decent score on my teas, now I'm just concerned about my personal statement. I know they emphasized it on the site.

Hey guys i'm also planning on applying to the program. Anyone know the average GPA of students who get accepted?

Does anyone know UTMB’s acceptance rate, and if the personal statement would really help? I’m a student athlete (D1) who also worked all year so having perfect grades and internships was not the case for me. With regular gpa and science gpa being 3.01 and making a 75% on my TEAS; what would be my chances of getting in?

The website says this "The number of applications and the number of openings available varies each enrollment period. On average, in the fall we receive around 858 applications and we accept 130 students, in Spring, we receive around 513 applications and we accept 130 students, and in Summer, we receive around 531 applications and we accept 90 students."

I'm also planning to apply for Spring 2021. My GPA for both science and overall is a 4.0 with an overall TEAS score of 94. Does anyone have any idea if they take into account where you completed your college courses or if it matters?

I was told at an open house event that while it doesn't matter necessarily, they would take into account that you took sciences at a difficult four year university like UT or Texas A&M compared to taking all of them at a community college but that you also wouldn't be disregarded for taking them at a community college either...I hope that makes sense and IDK how much of an impact it has either it was just what I was told

Okay great! I took most of my courses at a community college and I just recently got waitlisted at my dream school, who gives preference points to students that took classes at their university.

It’s got me kinda down. But I’m hopeful about UTMB. Have you already submitted your application for Spring?

Dang I am so sorry! That's tough. I already applied for Spring and I took my prereqs at a four year university with only a handful from a community college.
