Hi I know it's a few months early, but have anyone started getting their application/essay ready to apply to UTMB for 2019? Lol I'm nervous looking at blogs from previous years. I'm also scared to take the TEAS. I plan on applying for Summer 2019.

I am applying for Spring 2019. Just started working on the essay/resume and going to take TEAS on March 1st.
Good luck on your TEAS! What's your GPA?

Thanks! When are you planning on taking TEAS? My overall GPA, which includes a lot of hours, is about 3.2; however, my science GPA is about 4.0 and prereq GPA 3.5.
My overall is a 3.0 as of now which also includes a lot of hours. I plan on taking my TEAS in May and I plan on applying in June for Summer 2019 because I'll be graduating with my bachelor's May 2019. I'm just excited lol!

Hey guys! I applied for both Fall 2018 and Spring 2019. Still waiting to hear back for the fall, but no denial letter yet!
Wishing you luck! I saw your stats on fall 2018. Lol mine isn't all that great so let me know if you get in please ?
So I retook the TEAS today. I wanted to boost my reading score that was low the first time I took the test. It was bugging me too much at night.
Reading 83
Math 97
Science 89
English 87
I have to say, the science section can be pretty tricky. They went deep into physiology this time. During the exam I had about 7-8 questions where I didn't know the answer, so I had to make an educated guess by process of elimination.
On math I missed a question because they wanted an "approximation" not an actual value, which is kind of BS if you ask me. oh well...

Advice for applicants, UTMB states on their website that a competitive applicant will have The Basic Life Support Health Care Provider Course completed. It's easy to do and there usually isn't a wait to get it done.
I have that completed as well so I can add it to certifications.
