Published

Hey guys!

:)

The application period for UTMB Spring 2013 is now open! Have any of you already applied/ taken the teas? Good luck to all!

where did you read that? I have retaken more than 2 courses for sure!

I was not aware of that policy... :/

Honestly the TEAS was very challenging, BUT preparing for it will help you!

For the English/Language part: depending on how long ago or how well you remeber, you should review the basic rules (nouns, puncuation, structure of a sentence, grammar, spelling etc.) I personally didn't focus too much on this part and ended up scoring a 70% for this section (It's been almost three years since I took an english class!) lol

For math: A LOT of algebra, measurement stuff, and chart interpretations. I love math! I scored a 96.7% on this section!

For science: There was some anatomy and physio questions, a lot of basic biology, a few chemistry, and scientific reasoning. I felt this section was the most challenging of them all. I scored a 77.1%

Reading: This section is just your basic reading comprehension. (Theme of the passage, author's purose, etc.) Similar to what we were tested on in high school. I scored a 92.9% on this section!

My overall was an 84%. Don't stress yourself out too much! Just breathe!!

Thank you so much!! I will try to study as hard as I can. I'm also a little math geek and love science but english and history are definitely not my thing. There's no history right? lol

dee1388, don't think i'm ignoring your pms! i they said i have to have at least 15 posts to get pm access! lol but you are welcome i really hope it helps!

where is st. thomas? i heard about twu and houston, and they are really competitive and tough to get into! my gpa sucks! (2.91) i've never failed or gotten a d, just a few c's and a lot of b's! i'm really hesitant to retake classes, because i'm not sure if nursing schools would rather a c or b the first time around or a retake to get an a, you know what i mean? lol

and about the nursingcas, i emailed an advisor at utmb and she said besides your gpa and teas score they look at health-related experience, volunteer experience, leadership positions, why you want to be a nurse, etc. and she said to include all of that in your personal statement! as far as resume and references, i didn't put any. and for professional experience where they ask if you have health-related training, i just put i was adult/ child cpr certified lol.

Hello all! I am reapply for the spring 2013. I took my Teas last year and want to retake it, but I am curious if anyone knows if they take the higher grade or the most recent grade?

I was not aware of that policy... :/

I read that on one of their older catalogs, and assumed they still had that policy since TAMU has that policy. However, I just received a response from UTMB saying that, "There is no limit on how many prerequisites you can retake." ..what a relief :)

Hi all! i am new to this. i am also applying for spring 2013. I have a huge question!!

Do we need to submit out nursing cas application to them by the deadline or do they have to process it by the deadline? Because everything is done, except it says im incomplete on the secondary , high school section, which idk why. Im hoping to submit my application tomorrow, and praying that they process it in time. also, what is yalls gpa and teas score??

I do not know either that is a good question. I have not sumbmited mine yet I am waiting for them to receive my transcripts, do we have to wait for them to receive our transcripts to submit or can we send it now?

I thought we had to have everything turned into them before submitting it? Im hoping to submit it tomorrow and it get processed quick. Have u taken the teas yet?

I have not, I take it on the 6th... Im nervous they have not received my transcripts yet. I requested them for both of the schools I have attended over 2 weeks ago, last week I went to the record's office at one of the schools and they said it was mailed last Monday, so shouldn't they have it by now?

If I cant submit my application on time because of a freaking transcript I am going to be very upset.
