UTMB Spring 2010

Published

Hey guys Im making this thread so all of the applicants for UTMB Spring 2010 can follow each other through the process and help each other out! The application deadline is coming up soon! Goodluck to all!:nuke: I know they are only exepting 60 for the spring.

Katie- the advice u got is spot on. You are meeting with the head honcho so look at that as a positive not a negative. You get to shine for the chief as I see it. Practice practice practice...get there early it will help you simmer down before you go in. Also STAY AWAY from too much coffee or any other stimulant for that matter....your heart will be racing as it is. maybe go have a serious workout the morning of to get some of that energy out! Most of all BE YOURSELF.

Everyone else- Can anyone repost that good CPR info someone posted? I need to get on it! Also can someone explain to me what all this PDA talk is about? I want to be sure before I go buy anything. Also....I saw online class starts January 8th but thats a Friday which is weird so does anyone know? Also do we have to have ANOTHER security screening even though I did one when I applied?

Lastly, I live in the med center anyone else close to me who is interested in carpooling?

i'm hoping they give us that information in our acceptance packets and at orientation...it doesn't even say online that i've been accepted, it still says pending, so i don't think we can really do anything yet. its only been a couple of days, i'm sure we will get all the information we need in the next couple of weeks (i understand your frustration though). I would assume we would need the white nursing shoes, they have them at the different uniform stores around houston, but if anyone knows of good deals, please share :-)

There is a new student orientation on Jan 5 & 6 which i understand is mandatory. Here is the link

As for the PDA i went out and bought a smartphone yesterday that will work with the program.

As for regestering classes I have no idea. If i get off work early enough I will call and ask someone and post tomorrow what they said.

RedOne-My eConnect still says pending yet I got my packet last week. In the packet its just forms to fill out, shot record stuff, etc. Should I send "D" an email maybe? I am just curious as to when school starts, what the hours of orienation are since it only gave dates, what we should buy before school starts if anything, when and how do we register, where do we get our books, all that jazz because if orientation is 5th and 6th and school starts on the 8th thats not even two days to take care of all that you know?

Yeah, I'm freaking about the same thing. I got a call on Friday congratulating me on getting in several days after I dropped off my acceptance :-P. I was SO confused. I can't wait to see what's available for financial aid, what our classes will be like, and what we need to do when.

ok UTMB called me and i missed their call cuz i was at school and was not able to talk with any one cuz i got out of school at 5 and everyone was gone. anyway they said that i was a good applicant and that they needed to talk to me about my course work (im guessing because Im still talking chem and stats). so i hope that they call tomorrow morning! wish me luck!!!

I had a question about books. Would you recommend buying the books. I have found many on a website that allows you to rent the books. Do you find yourself referencing them a lot after your classes?
