UTMB Spring 2018

[mani1391]

Hello everyone! I plan on applying to UTMB for Spring 2018 entry and can't find a post on it, so I decided to make one! I am taking my TEAS end of April. I already have a degree from the University of Houston in Health Communication and minor in Nutrition. I am finishing my last two prerequisites (A&P2, Microbiology) right now at a community college. Anyone else looking to apply? Deadline is coming up next month, so I thought it would be awesome to get a group thread going! Would love to hear from others applying!

I am applying for Summer 2018 and currently need help on writing a personal statement. Do you mind sharing what services you used to help you? thanks!

I didn't really use any services just wrote it, let friends of mine read over it, then a prior English teacher of mine saw my last copy before i ultimately fixed what he corrected on it. write from the heart that's about all i can say and don't cheat yourself by paying someone to write it because i'm sure they can figure out whats genuine and whats not. Good luck, took me about 2 1/2 weeks to have finalized my paper after i finished writing it in 5 days

Hope everyone is doing well. Anyone planning on attending the information session next week?

I'm so nervous about hearing back! I literally find myself checking mystar every couple hours. I hope I'm not the only one out there that feels like their heads going to explode.

Hi everyone! Decided to join the conversation after looking in over the last few months! Good luck to everyone!

Quick question: green complete dot on mystar is what we all have right? That just means they have all my stuff right?

Thanks!

So after reading all these comments I also thought it would be helpful not just to me but maybe others as well to join. anyone considering applying for the summer 2018? I just considered transfering out and I believe the spring is a bit too late to apply...correct?

Has anyone heard anything yet? Anxiously waiting, and a little confused by mystar.

I understand will be mid to late july before we hear anything is what I've been told since june 1st. I think we all just should have the green completed dot at this time according to utmb as well in mystar.

I'm anxious as well. I'm hoping we hear something closer to mid July rather than the end of July.

I emailed Elizabeth Botello yesterday with regards to the reviewing process for Spring 2018 applicants. She said that they are just beginning the process of reviewing applications and it will be 6-8 weeks (could be sooner). Even though I knew this information, hearing back from her so quickly via email did help calm me down a little hahah, but I do think they are a bit behind schedule from previous threads, (those threads had started interviewing right after the deadline had passed). Hopefully we can now really expect to hear something back in the next coming weeks/month.
