UTMB Spring 2018

Published

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 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.

I just want to make sure I am understanding this... It is going to be another 6-8 weeks before we hear anything about interviews? Not next week?

In previous application cycles it seems as if there are multiple rounds of interviews/acceptances. Hopefully she means it could be 6-8 weeks for those to be completed, not 6-8 weeks before anyone hears a peep. Maybe that is why it could be sooner. I guess we just have to wait and see.

Mrs.Botello told me they just started reviewing the spring applications. She said in quote "We are just beginning the process it will be 6-8 weeks (could be sooner) and all updates are sent out via email. Thank you for your patience."

I called UTMB on Monday and they said "You should be hearing back anywhere from 2-3 weeks or maybe even sooner, Just check your email often for updates."

Just wanted to throw this out there, I applied for Fall 2017 back in January and first heard back from the school in April saying that I was still being considered and didn't hear back from them again till June 7 when I was rejected. The wait is the most nerve wrecking thing ever but just stay positive and patient!

@AndreaH923 thats great news! I figured we would hear something back within a month or so. I've had more than a couple of friends who have told me about the process, so I know the waiting is the most anxious part.

Such a long wait, like i said earlier in this thread i would reccomend most of us reapply before the aug 15th deadline for summer

What green dot is everyone talking about on mystar? I usually login and go to student services then to application status. Should I be looking somewhere else?

when you log in there's a link called student center and once you click on that scroll all the way down and under admissions there's a table called my applications and you should see a green dot that says complete

From looking back on past forums, your stats seem to be good! I don't think you have anything to be worried about.
