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!

I'm sorry! I guess I should clarify...I just got an interview invite to the traditional BSN program. Not exactly what I was going for, but I'll take it! Does anyone else still need to interview or most everyone already done it? What were the interviews like?

Yes, when I called they said that there were very few invites left for interviews for the traditional bsn program. Most of the invites were for the bacc2 program. I think all that are left are people who did not make the BACC2 and are now being considered for the traditional bsn program.

Huh? Confusing! Only 1 batch of Interview Invites have went out so how is it that there is only a few left! We haven't even received Acceptance letters!

She told me on the phone just now that there are only a few more interview invites going out for the traditional bsn program. Most everyone has been interviewed already.

I'm not sure there are enough bacc students to satifsy the amount of slots available? From what I was told there are 200 (not sure) slots, and I think the breakdown was 120 to traditional and 80 or so to bacc...

I'll have to look back over my info... I think they're interviewing about 200 or so?

Are they interviewing 200 or so for just the traditional bsn program? Or for both programs combined? Because wouldn't that mean that almost everyone who interviews will be admitted?

Very confusing...

Yeah, it is very confusing... The way I thought about it was, at first they said they were interviewing every Friday in September. There was 5 Friday, times 40 interviews per Friday means 200 interviews. I asked how many they would invite in and (I thought) I was told 200... That they have 700 total applicants, which they weed down to 300. Then out of the 300, 200 get interviews... I think or something like that. I can't really remember. I asked the question again, but haven't heard back yet... Maybe somebody else could email and ask?

I feel the same way but i am hoping it shows a true commitment about wanting in

Very true. I'll probably wait until tomorrow and then email them the question about how many interview/get in.

Is there a number to call and get a live person, or has someone already called to find out about second batch? Does anyone know if all acceptances require an interview? I am totally confused

After my Interview the lady that Interviewed me told me to get in touch with D. L. T. ( Preadmission Advisor) if I didn't hear anything after 2 to 4 weeks and when i emailed her last week about acceptance letters she said they were behind and hoped to have Acceptance letter emails out by this week!

from my understanding if there are only a few interview invites left....there won't be a 3rd round of interviews then. if that's the case, i have to say that it's not fair. if you read all the other posts from previous years there were at least 3 rounds of interviews for traditional bsn program students. i don't know why utmb keeps changing stuff. spring 2012 seems to be a semester where they change stuff..first the introduction of the overall gpa and now this. it's so frustrating!
