UTMB Spring 2011

Kwezygirl: I read previously on this thread that there had been about 300 applicants for Spring 2011 and only 80 will be accepted...

Thank you for the information. I emailed a lady yesterday and she returned my email saying the same thing.

Hello everyone! Anything new? :)

Haven't heard anything yet. We should be hearing from the school in the next week or so I am assuming.

My status was still "Pending" as of this morning....

When I called last week she said end of September most likely.

Nope.. Haven't heard anything yet. We should be hearing from them soon. :)

At our opening ceremony yesterday, they went over the statistics of past semesters and said that they were planning on admitting 80 accelerated students into the Spring 2011 program and 60 traditional .

Take this with a grain of salt, as things are always changing.

What is the difference between the accelerated and the traditional program? Is accelerated the one which is 15 months long whereas tranditional is longer?

Also, do you know how many students were accepted for fall 2010? I know they had over 600 applications..

117 students were accepted for fall 2010 traditional program- UTMB's biggest class yet. When we were applying we heard of everything from 80 to 100 people would be accepted and it turned out to be much more. It all depends on how many clinical sites they can get and how many instructors are available.

The difference between the traditional (sometimes called generic) and the accelerated program is a degree. In order to get into the accelerated program you have to have a bachelor's degree in any other area all ready. Some people who were granted admission to our class were later offered acceptance into the accelerated program even though they didn't apply.
