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!

@Punkydoodles do you know what company UTMB uses for the background check? Is it fingerprinted?

We went through L1ID I think. I didn't have to do it since I was already registered with the BON, but I can double check that tonight when I get home.

Happy to hear that it is L1 and the price is around 50 bucks (fingerprint based cant speak on the others) or so just to let everyone know. The turn around if everything is okay with a persons background is usually 2 days depending on what day of the week you schedule. I work for the School District and deal with L1 fingerprint based background checks that are FBI and State based. We have actually received some back the next day depending on the Center. I prefer the Super Center on West Loop and South Main in Houston because they always have opening even following the day you receive your fast pass from the school, but there are various locations throughout the area even in Galveston. Hope this helps!

Nope, nothing here either. :(

I also e-mailed DT today and she's out of the office until Friday.

I emailed DT today too.... Seems like other people are out of the office as well... I think I called T yesterday, but she's out of the office until Friday as well... I'm wondering if they're all off to do the admissions/interviews and such...

Waiting for the waiting to end!!!!!

Y'all should give those poor ladies a break. The more emails they have to answer because people are impatient, the less time they have to do things that are actually productive. If something happens that we need to know about, they'll get ahold of us. Im quite sure of it. 800 emails a day and expecting an answer on their day off won't expedite anything.

I'm just sayin...
