UTMB Spring 2017

Nursing Students School Programs

Published

Hello to all! I am applying to UTMB in Galveston for the Spring 2017 start. I have not seen any posts about this particular semester, so I thought I would reach out. Any body applying, gotten information, how was your TEAS test, pre-reqs, etc.?

I look forward to hearing from everyone!

Personally, this is my second degree as I have my first in Business Management & Entrepreneurial Studies. My mom is a nurse and has inspired me in so many ways, and I am excited to see where this journey leads me.

I made an 82.7% on my TEAS V and I am pretty nervous about this as I am not too sure how it compares or what the norm is. I hope everyone is having good luck in their application process and let me know how it is going for ya'll?

Thanks!

Anyone else declining or have gotten a call about getting in (waitlist)

I just received an email to go to an interview for the spring 2017 waitlist yesterday.

I received an emailed that I was waitlisted also but I wonder if there is anybody who was waitlisted with conditional acceptance into summer 2017. It seems like everyone is just being waitlisted this application cycle!!!

I also feel like everyone is getting wait listed. It doesn't make sense. It also doesn't make sense how they're still interviewing for the wait list? It is ridiculous... and my hopes have gone so down now......

:banghead:

Did anyone else get interviewed for waitlist or get an email saying to interview for waitlist? I assume this interview that I'm going to will be for the summer 2017.

I know!! I was thinking the same thing. Maybe they are changing things this semester. I hope I get taken off the waitlist pretty soon!

SCREW WAITING!!! GOT ACCEPTED AT UT HEALTH!!!

SO HAPPY!!

Just wanted to tell you all because I am in the wait list and this gives those who are in the wait list a higher chance to get in. I hope you guys do!!! BEST OF LUCK.

My goodness! How did you get waitlisted at UTMB but got accepted to UTH? Isn't UTH supposed to be more competitive?

I got accepted to UTMB, TWU, and UTH. Will probably stay with my UTMB acceptance.

Honestly, I have no idea which school is the best. I want to decline the other 2 schools so that others may hurry up and get off the waitlist.

Congratulations! I am officially withdrawn from UTMB today and I've accepted admission to the other institution. Good luck to those who are waitlisted!

How did you withdraw your acceptance? I am going to accept from another institution but want to do it as professionally as possible. Thanks!

Anyone signed for an apartment yet? Still looking for housing down here and I'd love to hear if anyone has found a nice complex at a good price!

Futurern1917, I looked at a couple apartment complexes, but there's just so many options down there that I feel overwhelmed trying to choose a place to live! I might be looking for a roommate if you're interested!!

Guitarhamster, hope to see you in the spring if you do stick with UTMB!! I think some applicants view UTMB as less competitive to be accepted into is because they have the facilities to accommodate a larger number of students in each cohort and therefore are able to offer twice as many acceptances. Have you gotten a chance to go down there and attend an event at UTMB? If you get the chance, I'd suggest going down there and checking out the campus because it's actually really cool and the students there are really nice and will take you into the labs and stuff to look around with them if they're not busy.

I emailed Elizabeth Botello ([email protected]) thanking her and the school for their time and interest, and requested to withdraw my acceptance. She should reply with a confirmation email!
