UTMB Spring 2016

Mine was not turned in late, my interview was July 31. When was yours? I didn't mean that there's no way we can't get straight accepted, that's just the impression I got from what others have been told. Hopefully there is! If they told you there were still spots and they were deciding to accept the last few of us or waitlist, like you said in your post CoolBeans7, then I think that's probably a more accurate picture of what's happening :] I think it depends on who people talk to, it's a bit like playing telephone, I think every one has been told a little different.

Ok thanks for clearing that up :) my interview was around August 12th so I guess it was a little later.

We must have been in the same round of interviews, my two dates to pick were July 31 and the date yours was on!

Got emailed that I'm placed on the waitlist for spring with conditional acceptance for summer.

Think of it this way, I think gpa matters because in the work field you can't choose who you work with therefore getting to work with people you aren't comfortable with gives you a new perspective, also it makes you more flexible to different styles of teaching!

I'm accepted into UTMB! When Liz called me Friday to tell me I would be on one of the wait lists, we talked and realized that somehow the committee never received the information about my education, CPA, or experience. She sent my application back to the committee, and I just received the acceptance email. Sheesh!!! But yay!!!

Good job! That's pretty scary how they almost missed that. I was placed on the waitlist today with conditional summer acceptance.

I know! I cried when we got off of the phone. I have no idea how that information was missed! And if she hadn't made the phone calls on Friday, which she told me was so that applicants would stop calling her lol, it never would have been brought up. I included all of it in my application, even sent my resume, a copy of my CPA license, and discussed it in depth during my interview. But the ones making the decisions never received it?!?! So I'm thankful I'm in, and feeling extremely lucky and unlucky at the same time! I'm so relieved though, and glad the wait is over. And congrats to you! For what it's worth, I am friend's with a dean at a school of nursing, and she told me it is not unusual for a big school to go through their entire wait list, and not even have a full class once the semester begins. So there's a good chance for those wait listed to make it into spring. If not, summer is right around the corner.

I appreciate your encouraging words @missbrown2. It means a lot :)

does anyone have an idea about how many ppl are on the waitlist?

anne2112 · Oct 5, 2015

So happy for both of you, that is such great news!! I'm still waiting to hear

anne2112 · Oct 5, 2015

Coolbeans7 I think you have a great chance at getting in, so many people prefer uthsc in Houston over utmb and they haven't heard back from there yet!! So happy for you!

CONGRATULATIONS!!

I'm so glad you got in. When I read all of your information (the one you posted here) I could not believe that you haven't been accepted yet, it almost made mad! So congratulations again! you deserve this so much.
