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!

Hey guys!! I had my interview at 11:00 this morning and it went very well!! My interviewer was a lady by the name of Linda Moore, she was extremely nice and really liked my personal statement. I feel pretty confident with how well the interview went and hope to hear back soon!! So happy it's out of the way. I can now relax and wait for their decision!!

A Declaratory Order that you need to submit to the BON asap so they can clear you to go to school, you only need it if at any point in your life you have been arrested or charged for a crime or have a substance problem, since you have to pass a background check at the state and fbi lvl, the fbi lvl is more in depth and will look at all records of your fingerprints. You can go look up at the Texas BON to see if you will need to do one, its important that you do one soon if you need to because of the up to 6 month turn around time, you need to clear both background checks for you to start school

Wow. That is a lot of assumptions about a fellow classmate who has done nothing to indicate he needs a DO.

Seems like a very thorough answer to the question the fellow classmate asked. I don't see where they assumed anything, and they did a good job explaining what a Declatory Order is.

I'm not doing any assumptions, that was merely for everyone on the thread. I don't want anyone who doesn't know the information to be left in the dark that's all @moisee

Just to see where I think I made an assumption, I forgot to write "is something" before "that you need"..hope that clarifies it better

I believe that the new student guide is the new student checklist? ?? Onthepath? Jules? Can either of you confirm this?

Newly Admitted Students | UTMB School of Nursing in Galveston, TX

You can find the new student guide here under the Traditional BSN link.

Had anyone who has been accepted yet receive the email so we can start doing our BON background check? @jules is that something they wait for until they finish all the rounds?

I'm not exactly sure how they decided when to send it out but I know it was about a month and a half after I got my acceptance. It came in an email from Dora Turner.

Yes, thank you Jules. I emailed Dorothy with UTMB, and she said it should be some time next week for the New student guide for Spring 2018 to be posted (use the link Jules posted above).

Hey guys!

Congratulations to all of you that have been accepted! And good luck to those with upcoming interviews! I am currently still awaiting an email for an interview invitation.

My overall GPA is 3.0

My science GPA is 3.75

My prerequisite GPA is 3.46 (according to my calculations)

My TEAS Scores are as follows:

Overall 81.3

Reading 83

Math 96.9

Science 74.5

English 70.8

I submitted my application on May 31st (late, I know)

Either way, I am currently missing my elective science. Which course did you guys take to satisfy that prerequisite?

Thank you for the help :)
