UTMB Spring 2012

Published

Hey Guys!

I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread for all UTMB Galveston's Spring 2012 traditional bsn applicants. Have you all started to apply yet or at least looked at the application? What do you think? How are your personal statements/testing going? If you guys have anything worth discussing please post and good luck to all!

oh I know!!! I have soooooooo been waiting for the next round of invites since I have been told mine should be in the 2nd round....

Maybe with the holiday weekend they are just really behind.

When I emailed SON they said that the committee will be meeting on the 12 to review apps for the 2nd round.

Hello!

My interview went fine. The lady that interviewed me was very nice. She said I had nothing to worry about, so hopefully that is true :-) Just go in and be yourself! It seems like this interview is just a formality. It seems also like the biggest hurdle is getting the interview. Now keep in mind that I haven't gotten my acceptance letter yet, this is just the feeling I got from being there... I could have totally misread everything.

The questions were general and I was not surprised by them at all. Just make a list of every possible question and go over them with someone else. This is good to do if you have a hard time talking to someone you don't know. My twin cousins, one is a 2nd year resident at Baylor and the other is a double licensed Nurse Practitioner (who are 28 and have interviewed many times), told me last night to remember one thing: This is not about whether I qualify or not. This interview is to see if we fit with the school's program and if the school's program fits with us. We are already through the qualification process, so go in there and be yourself.

Best advice I've heard so far! Helped me to not go in there trying to apologize for any Bs that I've made or any withdrawls I've had. They also said not to bring up information they likely already know about you. This is about them learning information they don't already know. Think about and highlight your strengths and why you are a good fit for UTMB's program.

Hope that helps :-)

I also wanted to say that it seems like the interviews are alphabetical, because all that were there this morning were As through Es...

This morning I had my interview. The person interviewing me was very nice and easy to talk to. Good luck to everyone still waiting to receive your invite. Also, my last name starts with a H. So I dont know if that statement is true.

Please take what I say with the understanding that I've not gone through the whole process, just one time.

Yes, definitely. There's prolly no rhyme to when the interviews are sent out.

I had my interview this morning too. My interviewer was extremely nice and very easy to talk to. She was actually a professor for the NP program and was just helping out with interviews. I had to make sure that I talked about all of my credentials because she did not have any of my information in front of her. Overall, just relax and review basic interview questions. Good luck guys!
