UTMB Summer 2015 - anyone?

lindsayturner94 · Sep 8, 2014

I applied as well! I haven't taken my TEAS yet (Sept 24th). You should be hearing about an interview soon. I wont hear anything until my TEAS is submitted.... Let me know when you hear back!

Also, have you seen anything on you MyStar Portal? Any email correspondence?

The MyStar shows my application is complete but that all. No correspondence since the initial emails for MyStar.

I also applied for Summer 2015. Everything is complete in MyStar, so I guess we just play the waiting game since the application deadline isn't until 10/15. I'm going to Open House on 10/10. Has anyone else been yet? I'm just wondering if it was informative. Good luck to everyone! Hope we all can get in!

Yes, waiting game it is. I was under the impression we would hear something prior to the close but after talking to the school we will be lucky to hear by the end of Oct. I was not aware of the open house so thanks for posting that. I have a friend their, let me ask her if it was worth it. Im in Dallas so that is a drive for me but I would like to see the campus etc. My name is Michael, if I see you there i'll introduce myself.

If you can't make the open house on the 10th, they do them once a month. They are listed on their website. Since you have a friend in the program, do you have any idea what the schedule is like as far as what days class/clinicals are etc?

mgrenwic · Sep 29, 2014

She said she did not attend the open house so no comment there - schedule is as follows (1st semester)

My schedule is as follows:

Monday: pathophysiology 1-4

Tuesday: no class

Wednesday: health assessment 8-10

Intro to the profession 10-12

Adult care 1: 1-4

Thursday: Adult care 1 lab: 9-12

Health assessment lab: 1-4

Friday: clinical- 6:30 am to 5:30 pm

Saturday and Sunday off

You could have clinical on Thursday Friday or Saturday and your lab would be scheduled accordingly.

Thanks! And thanks to your friend! That's very helpful. :)

mgrenwic · Sep 29, 2014

I will, yes she has been a big help for me too. Let me know if you think of anything else.

Does anyone know how long it takes nursing cas to process the application once they receive it? How long before you get a my star account?

mgrenwic · Oct 2, 2014

I think it takes about 1 week - but I had mine to them very very early on - I really think it is a matter of when they get it, b/c now they are rushing to get things done before the deadline.

Also, they have to do you transcripts which takes a few days as well.

After it is submitted you will get an email from the school - then you will receive 3 emails form the school to setup my star - mine came right away but my friends took over 1 week (7 + days)

Okay. I submitted mine a couple of days ago so I figure it will be a little while before I hear anything. I am wondering if there won't be as many people applying for this semester. Usually there are a lot more posts by now. I am excited to see if I get in, this is the first school I am applying for, fingers crossed!
