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.

So is the scholarship just a one time thing or do we get it again next semester? I would assume we'd have to apply for it to recieve it again, but if we didn't that would be amazing! That amount of money was such a blessing!

I filled out the FASFA because I had to in order to get a loan through the school. I won't get any free money from the government because I'm still considered a dependent, since I'm under 24, and my parents make good money. (even though they aren't helping me) So I have to take out a student loan to cover living and school expenses for one year.

I think the scholarship is a one time thing. Since we didn't have to apply for it the first time I don't see why we would start after the first semester. Has anyone started buying their supplies yet? (ie shoes, books, scrubs, etc)

I wonder if the generic students get one too? That would be sweet

Hey Sarah Ashley-

I am moving to galveston or the clear lake area to start the program. I am not sure if you have plans yet, but if you are looking for a roommate, I am too! You can contact me through private message about it.

Hi All is on,

I've bought my shoes and stethoscope, but nothing else yet. I'm going to get my books used, if possible. The only ones I've found online used are the Pharm, Patho and Drug calculation books. I'll probably go ahead and purchase.

I've been looking at the scrubs online. Have you found any for less than 21 and 25 bucks for top and pants, respectively?

It looks like the software is going to cost over $200. Have you purchased it, yet? What kind of PDA are you getting or do you have? I'm thinking about the ipod touch.

Take care,

Deb.:)

Hey All,

A question for the Bacc2s - on your financial aid portal - the "cost of attendance", does this really include tuition and books for the year? I figured tuition/fees and books would cost about 13-14k total for the whole program, so if I subtract this number, the remainder is for living expenses, insurance, etc..??

I was going down to UTMB to talk to them about it since I'm kinda freaking out. There's less than 6 weeks until orientation. If anybody has any questions they want asked, please let me know and I'll ask the fin aid peeps.

All the best,

Deb.
