UTMB Spring/Summer 2019

Published

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.

Glad it went well and you made it safe!

Did you interview for the summer or were you just accepted?

I didn't interview.

Thank you, and of course,

My teas scores*

Composite: 88

Reading: 87.2

Math: 93.8

Science: 91.5

English:79.2

The email did say that it was because of a strong academic background, and said I kept a 3.75 GPA throughout my last courses of prerequisites.

Man I wish I was you and didn't have to interview! Lol! I had an 89 composite TEAS abut only a 3.4 cumulative! Congratulations on your acceptance! And to the person that asked, no I was not given a card. I was walked outside and shown where Levin hall was and where to find some food while I waited for open house to start. I hiked my slacks back up and took off my heels and waded back to my car a mile away. I felt like I couldn't get a good feel on whether I was a good candidate or not. I was not asked any questions about my personal statement like some others. Like I said earlier, it was a very interesting experience. My interviewer was extremely kind though. Honestly, I cried a little. Only because I was just so thankful and excited to be there!

I know you did great! Did she ask you pretty tough questions ?? Or were they pretty simple to answer?

A lot of them were pretty straight forward: "how will you handle the excess curriculum" "why do you want to be a nurse" "how do you feel you'll endure the strains of becoming a nurse" things of that nature. Our conversation would skew as well for personal stories.

I was also sent an early admission acceptance email today. I am also torn because I applied to UT Health and will not find out about acceptance until November.

I feel like I just had lots of word salad, I was just Legitimately so excited to be there I had so many things I wanted to ask her, and talk to her about. She was very receptive. I agree with the "old school" comment. Lol I would get off topic and go into another facet of conversation that would inadvertently lead into the next question. Lol. Honestly I was also super interested in the Galveston national lab too! That's one of the few BSL-4 labs in the states. I'm trying to stay positive, if I don't get into to nursing school

again this semester, I definitely will keep my mind open for Biomedical sciences as well.

I completed my application the first week of August. I'm just curious, where are you guys from and are you planning on moving to Galveston or commuting if you are accepted? I'm from Houston and I'm trying to decide if I should try to commute or if I should find a place closer to UTMB.
