UTMB Spring 2010

hi once again i spoke to utmb and they confirmed they havent started the applications yet.

yes ms sealy you are right. I think I might pass out r someting. LOL. I do have PV as a back up plan, I thought I would hear from UTMB before I hear from PV their deadline is Oct.1, but at this rate look like I might be hearing from them at the sametime.

ms sealy - i agree with you if for some reason i did get an e-mail rejecting me i would also just re-apply for november.

jazzynurse2b - thanks for calling utmb and asking! omg i was so sure that they had began since the pp got that rejection e-mail. oh man, i was hoping we would hear something from them with in a week or so:bluecry1:

oooh..i forgot to update you guys......i did decide to apply to pv as a backup..i'm taking the net on 9/19/09. i got my class evaluation from pv in the mail, but i havent gotten anything like that from utmb yet. pv breaks down your gpa into three categories.

university requirement gpa 3.8

support area requirement gpa 4.0

departmental gpa 3.84

i like the way pv breaks down their gpas cause it gives me a 4.0 in the sciences! but i really don't have a 4.0 cause i got bs in a&p i and ii, but for some reason pv doesnt count these classes with the science....go figure..

thanks for calling utmb jazzy!! my big plan is to wait until 9/10 to get my invitation or to call....let's see if i make it!

jade409281 that's all we can do...somebody gonna make room for me in their nursing school....even if i have to sit on the lawn!

oh man....I dont know if my nerves can take it! I applied to UTA and UTMB. But now I am confused on where I want to go. It would be very hard to leave my family, friends & fiance for 15 months. But I do know one thing, and that is both schools are great!

ummmmm misspink86...i thought we had a deal? we are going to interview at utmb together, get accepted, become roommates, classmates, then graduate together form utmb! did i misunderstand?

ha ha! lol we still have a deal! I always keep my promises :) Lets hope I get an interview! I know you are with your awesome GPA :)

What I love about UTMB is that it is a 15 month program and the faculty is so hopeful!

OK guys I emailed Mrs. ****** at UTMB about the repeated courses and this was her response:

Thank you for your interest and application to our School of Nursing. Our baccalaureate admissions policy contains two statements regarding course repeats:

- No prerequisite course may be repeated more than once.

- No more than two of the prerequisite courses may be repeated.

Below is the link to our General Information catalog. The two statements above are on page 7 of the catalog, which is page 18 of the PDF document.

With regards to the student’s statement below, we do not consider D a passing grade.

If these policies are a concern for your application, you should make an appointment to speak with the Associate Dean of Admissions, Dr. *****. Her assistant can be reached at 409-772-8307.

Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.

**** * ******

-----What I do want to know though is how did that person know that was even an issue for her? Can we see that on our E-Connect? Did she get something in the mail stating she couldnt apply due to repeated courses? I want to know I am 100% in the clear for that and dont know how to go about that

Gurl those high GPAs don't mean nothing in nursing school..at least that's what I hear...but I plan to sleep, study, and use the restroom once in awhile when we get in!

Chemistry is going great! how are classes going for all of you??

ha ha I plan on doing the same thing!!! Well I have to go to class talk to ya'll later!

WOOOOOOW EMAG!

I have never seen that policy and i went to two information sessions and read the website like it was a Dean Koontz Novel!....I wonder why they buried that info?? That would be good to know before paying that $50 bucks and getting all emotionally invested in this roller coaster ride...

I'm glad Ms. ****** responded quickly and I hope it put your mind at ease.

And I wonder why UTMB is saying they are not reviewing applications.

Thanks for the link.

TxJeepGirl said they emailed her and I asked her if econnects changed but she hasn't responded yet.
