Thank you! I am very nervous. I keep getting scores between 79 and 88 on the practice tests. How was your actual result compared to your practice tests?

My scores were about the same! @barb24 how long did it take for you to get the supplemental app from UTMB after you submitted your NursingCAS?! I still haven't received one! Deadline is in 10 days!!! I'm getting nervous!!

Hi Guys!

I have been reading this forum, and just now decided to join. I've had a Nursing CAS pending application for a while, trying to finish my Statement so I can submit it... Has anyone else applied before? What are some good things to mention in my statement? I've been taking a mini-term and now started summer classes back to back... I'm kind of "numb" and clueless whenever I sit down and try to brainstorm. Help please =D

Hey! I'm new to the forum but I am also applying to UTMB Spring 2013 semester. As far as NursingCAS goes, it took about 2 weeks for them to mark everything in as received and my GPA calculation came up a couple of days later. As far as the actual calculation, I feel like they came up short on my overall GPA. My calculations = 3.3 and their Calculations = 3.01 ...... I'm gonna need them to fix that or explain how they came up with it because I need just about every point (down to the tenths and hundreths of a point lol).

I met with a counselor at UTMB last month, she told me that supporting statements are HUGE when it comes to deciding on acceptance for prospect students. There are a lot with lower-than-preferred GPA's (that's 3.0)...and to remain competitive one should type up a GREAT supporting statement, we are selling ourselves. She said it's not bad to have C's--as long as your GPA is high...but if you have a D-in their' eyes that's failing...so you must retake that class, AND If you have taken a class more than once, to replace grades or bring up GPA--it counts against you. Other schools will take your most recent scores for X class, but UTMB looks at EVERYTHING... =(

Well because I have a mediocre GPA I definately like the idea of not solely being judged by that single aspect. I read up on previous posts from students who went through this last year and it seems as if we are not going to recieve any correspondence from UTMB for a while (late august - september) after the app deadline.

I've been emailing an advisor back and forth, and that's what she told me too! So it gave me some hope! My GPA is horrible in my eyes (2.92 overall and 2.98 pre-req) I've never got a grade lower than a C, just A LOT of B's :( But I got a 84% on my TEAS test and was told by a friend who is currently attending UTMB, that my 84% is really good! I am hoping and praying my personal statement sells me!!

Futurepedrn22 - That is a VERY good TEAS score. My overall TEAS score was only 74% :( I thought about retaking it but I'm not sure if UTMB only accepts 1 score per an application period. I do know that the TEAS deadline has been extended to June 30th for those who still havent taken it.

A 74 is good also!!! Remember you needed to get a 58% lol! Taking the TEAS test was so draining! I'm not sure how many times you can take it for UTMB! I would definitely ask an advisor before it again! Did you review and prepare for the test?

Hi zyb817,

I think 74% is definitely a very good score. If u check the last trend before this you will see those with less score than you, who got admitted
