The application process has just gotten under way for UTMB spring admission. Has anyone taken the TEAS tests? Any helpful hints on getting a high score?
I just got my wait listed email. To tell you the truth, I am pretty shocked and a little annoyed that I am on the wait list, especially after being told that I was a "shoe in" for the program. Were any of you given a confidence boost such as that? I have heard from others that the were told something of the sorts too and then weren't admitted or were wait listed. I am not a fan of false hope. I guess all I can do is wait. This is it for me, so I really do hope and pray that I get into the fall class. Do you think they would be able to push an application to the summer semester, even if that process is already closed?
I was also put on the wait-list 2days ago. I only just digested the information but have decided to stay optimistic. Afterall, life goes on. It is always better to be prepared than to be sorry. That is what I intend to do. While hoping that I get taken off wait-list, I will start putting together resources for for fall 2014. I certainly don't want to have just UTMB to wait on. I need to apply into as many schools as possible, maybe 5. No mistakes this time. Bottom line, I still hope UTMB will take me but I will not let myself miss application deadlines for most schools simply because I am waiting or disappointed. Our dreams will be realized, one way or another.
I contacted utmb and ask them where I stand on the waitlist. The didn't say exactly what number but they told me if I had a chance or not and what I needed to do to improve my chances for fall. My teas score is what hurt my chances. Oh well. I am moving on. So call them and ask. They were helpful.

Thank you! I am hoping some spots will open up for us and we can! I wonder how many are on the waitlist and where we are at on the list.
