UTMB Galveston Spring 2021

[Futurenursehopefully874]

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.

Well I was denied. But that’s okay because I got accepted into Sam Houston last month for the Fall. Best of luck to everyone else!

Did you get an email saying that they denied you? I haven't received anything :( I just want to know. CONGRATS on SHSU!

Well I was waitlisted. Hoping for the best! Goodluck to everyone still waiting to hear back.

Yes I got an email today at 12:45 PM saying “Our program is very competitive and unfortunately, your application was not among those selected to enter our program at this time.“

Anyone checked previous cohorts and know how long before waitlist applicants are notified of their status?

We have until September 1 to accept our offers. So, you may or may not hear anything from them anytime after that. People have been bumped up and off the waitlist 2 weeks before the start of the program. It really depends on how many people decline their seats

I got accepted yesterday for Spring 2021. Here are my stats to help future applicants get an idea if they are competitive or not

TEAS: 89

GPA: 3.8

Science GPA: 3.5

Prerequisites: done at a 4-year university, no degree earned

Healthcare experience: shadowing, managing a first aid clinic, volunteering at a geriatric facility

I personally believe it was my personal statement that got me in.

GOOD LUCK to future applicants and those on the waitlist for Spring 2021!!

Does anyone know if UTMB has like a designated "wait list" and "no list" or if they just place everyone on the waitlist who does not initially get accepted? I've heard some schools do this. I received a wait list email and I just was curious what the chances of actually getting off the waitlist are?

IDK how they determine who gets a spot when you are on the waitlist but I’m sure that getting closer to the end of the year they will have a few people change their minds or decide to go to a diff school etc. Then people who are waitlisted will get moved into the spot. Not sure how many or how often it happens..

I got accepted the other day and I'm sooo excited! I can't wait for this journey! I just thought I would post my stats.

TEAS: 93

Overall GPA: 3.55

Prerequisite GPA: 3.6-3.7 I think

Graduating this December with a Bachelor's in Allied Health from Texas A&M University but did take some of my prerequisites at Blinn College.

Healthcare experience: managing a first aid clinic, lifeguarding

Experiences: Front desk worker at my university for a year, Lifeguard for 4 years, intern for first aid clinic during Summer 2017, Health Center Coordinator at The Pines Catholic Camp this past Summer

Good luck to all of you! Based on personal experience with nursing school, a rejection does not mean you are not meant to go! Every single one of you is amazing and you will make amazing nurses! Trust in the process and it will all be okay ❤️
