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!
****For those of you who still have not gotten an interview invite****
She let me know that they only sent out about 7 interview invites for this thursday because MOST slots were for the BACC2 program. They ended up having a few open time slots so she threw some traditional ones in as well... so dont fret!
I was also told that there are around 250 traditional applicants and plan on accepting 120! She wasnt able to tell me how many they plan on interviewing though.... So our chances are much better than expected! and that they will be meeting again THIS friday to decide on the next full round of traditional interview invites!
Hope this helps :)

Thanks for the info! So far out of that 250 they only interviewed about 37 applicants on Sept. 9th, correct?
I hope this week they send out acceptance letters! I want to know ALREADY! This has been 4 long weeks just waiting to hear something back.

I hope they let us know soon too! I feel crazy running to my phone every time I get an e-mail notification! Lets hope UTMB pulls it together!!
I believe all interviewing will be completed before acceptance letters would be sent out. Have they really only had 39 interviews?
I thought that too, but apparently people are saying otherwise. It's kind of silly for the school to accept students before assessing the overall pool of applicants. Schools try to maintain as high of a level of prestige as possible, and accepting the best students in the group they look over, rather than accepting the most qualified of ALL applicants, is not a guarantor of prestige. I'm not on the admissions staff though, so I have no say.

My friend is in the program now and she said she got her acceptance 2 weeks after her interview. In my interview the lady told me IF accepted I would know in 2-4 weeks. This would be week 4....

I was also told by the lady who Interviewed me to give it up to 4 weeks for Acceptance letters and to keep in contact with D.L.T. in which i did. She told me they were behind and to expect them hopefully this week which is the 4th week! Im so on pins and needles!
hi guys, i new to this website and just wanted to post some info. that i have gathered from emailing around. i was told that they are planning to interview 200-220 applicants or something from a total of 250. once they interview a batch, they will be categorizing applicants based on who they want to accept, who they don't want to accept, and who they want to wait list. the rejection and wait list letter will go out in december. i hope this helps!
By the way, those of you that have had your interview...anyone willing to give any pointers or advice? :)
Just go over every possible question you think they would want to know about you... Don't talk about things they already know like your GPA, unless they have it listed wrong or something... Just read through the past threads and see what they said about their interviews... It was nerve-wrecking, but not as bad as I thought it was going to be...
I wore a suit, hair pulled back and stud earrings, with light make-up... "Interview dress"
