UTMB Spring 2011

Published

Quota for this semester is 100.

I am also still waiting on e-connect! I want it to hurry b/c I need to know how my financial aid is looking so I have time to get alternative loans. Also the financial aid ppl are so nice I spoke with them today!

We can definitely do FishTales....I think we should do it close to orientation time.

I still need to do my background check and CPR, but I work at a hospital so I'm sure they offer a class....*crossing fingers!

ok...so i got my acceptance e-mail and wrote back saying that i accepted. i also got the official letter, but have not been offered to accept on e-connect...still says pending. is anyone else still waiting, or do i need to call? i know they said give it a week, but i saw that some of yall had already gotten the offer on e-connect. also, dinner sounds great, but my proud dad who is a nurse booked me on a cruise to go on before the semester starts, so if possible, could we do it before or after dec 12-19? he says i won't have time for a vacation after school starts, so i have to get one last vacation in..lol. on a side note...how is everyone doing with paperwork? ive gotten my immunizations done, cpr class booked, background check done, and finishing up micro! soooo excited!!!

congratulations! Where are you going on your cruise?

The SON doesn't have any push or say so in how fast it updates. They said it's all up to enrollment services. SON sends over their decision and whenever enrollment services gets to it, is when it'll change. The person I talked to said enrollment services likes to take their time. Lol.

a cruise sounds amazing!! went on one this summer and it was soo much fun enjoy your time off...

melanie12nicole did the financial aid office say that we have to turn in dependent/independent verification worksheet before they will process anything? the college i am at now does and i was just wondering how they do it here

I just looked at the tuition & fees page. It lists tuition With SUmmers Off, Resident/Non Living w/parents/not, but does not give the tuition for With Summers....confusing. Eager to know for sure. BTW Tuition is $50k+

i strongly doubt tuition is $50k. Are you sure you weren't looking at the out-of-state tuition schedule? my friend went there and she didnt pay more than $20k if that.

No they didn't say anything like that, but she did say they are pretty quick at getting your FASA info together and award letters out (2 or 3 days after you accept through e-connect). She did say if you want additional grants and scholarships you must turn in your parents information even if you are indepent. I just really want e-connect to hurry! I would call...they are very helpful. The rep I talked to sent me emails on loan information, and scholarships. They really want to make sure your school can get paid for....unlike UH whose FA office made you feel like a burden and didn't care if you got any financial assistance.

Can we all get together right before orientation. I too am going on a vacation for my 30th bday before school starts.

I'm so excited to meet everyone and to start this new adventure.

Tuition is around $15,000 including fees and books.

Well happy 30th!!! And yes I agree with right before Orientation, like Jan 3rd??? Yea but as far rent and everything I can definitely see why it would cost around $30-35K, I don't know why it says $45K. They have room and board on the higher end, but that's good when trying to take out loans....which I am definitely going to do, b/c it will give me a financial cushion without having to stress....we don't need any extra stress!! And to all those out there...I'm sure FA office will work with you!
