Hello! I'm applying too. My sister was just accepted to UTMB so I might be able to help.

Are you as stressed out as I am? The application just opened today and I'm already going absolutely nuts!

carolined_jones · Mar 16, 2015

Yeah! I've been emailing and calling nursingcas this past week for my questions. I wish they were open today.

Jakki, I noticed you had howdy in your first message - are you an Aggie? I am!

JakkiK · Mar 16, 2015

Yes I am! I graduate in December!

carolined_jones · Mar 16, 2015

Cool! I graduate in May.

JakkiK · Mar 16, 2015

Oh awesome! Did you apply anywhere else?

carolined_jones · Mar 16, 2015

I'm only applying to UTMB right now but if I'm not accepted there I will apply to a few more places. Are you applying anywhere else?

JakkiK · Mar 16, 2015

I'm just applying there for now. If I don't get in I'll keep trying, and I might try UT Houston too. Not sure yet. I'm from Galveston, so I would hate to drive to Houston every day. Did you sister have a pretty high GPA? How'd she do on the TEAS?

carolined_jones · Mar 16, 2015

I think it was 3.2 - 3.4ish for the prereqs. Maybe a little lower. She got higher than the national avgs on the TEAS. I want to say she made in the low 80s and the averages were in the 60s and 70s . She said to do well on the TEAS. It's really important!

We need letters of recommendation, right? That's what I've heard. I'm confused because NursingCAS asks for references. I'm not sure if they're the same thing...
