UTMB Summer 2021 Applicants

Nursing Students School Programs

Published

Hi all!

Haven't seen a thread for UTMB Summer 2021 applicants, so I figured I'd start here. I'm hoping to wrap up my application soon pending a TEAS retake to edge it just a little bit higher. I also need to fine-tune my resume and personal statement.

@Austin Westgate No, I didn’t hear back from them yet ? but I’m hoping that we all do soon! I’m wondering if we’ll hear back in December, because I think I heard or read it somewhere that we should expect a response back 12-16 weeks after the application due date.

I think last year they found out at the end of October. So hopefully it’ll be soon

I checked mystar ~12 today and I got accepted! I have a 3.6 overall GPA and I scored an 84 on the TEAS. I definitely spent time on my personal statement. For clinical experience, I’ve worked as a medical scribe in an ER for about a year ? 

good luck to everyone!

Hey everyone, I got accepted 10/20/2020. I would like to share my stats/tips for future applicants. 

Pre-reqs GPA: 4.0 

Undergraduate GPA: 3.76 

Overal GPA: 3.76 

TEAS overall: 82 

Preference: Bachelor's degree and CNA certified 

My TEAS score wasn't high like other applicants but I think what got me in was my essay and experience. 

Tips: 

Should you apply to other programs? Yes, and I know it can be expensive but it should atleast give you many more options to have. Alot of the programs here in Houston/Texas have similar pre-reqs.  I am going to list a few programs:

  • ADN programs: Lonestar and HCC (these programs you can always transition from BSN later) 
  • BSN programs: TWU, Sam, UTMB, UThealth, Texas tech 

Essay: There were many students who got in with the  GPA or TEAS being low (please don't feel discourage). Please put effort into your essay which is important. It allows the admission to get a good understanding of who you are. 

Entrance exam: Give yourself enough time to study and to retake if you need to. When applying you must reach the school minimum requirement. A lot of schools have a minimum requirement if it isn't shown on the website please don't hesitate to ask the school minimum requirement.  

Schools that offer CNA, PCA, and etc. : 

Lonestar, HCC, PIMA, sugarland institute (the prices can vary) 

 

 

CONGRATS everyone who got in!

Update: I was accepted today (10/20/2020) and wanted to share my stats and tips because I know I scoured these boards for them when I was looking to apply. 

First my stats: 3.34 (overall) 3.5 (science) TEAS 87.3 (90s for math and science)

I think the TEAS and my essay helped me to be accepted. My tip for the TEAS is to use the prep materials on the TEAS website. I literally bought ALL the prep stuff that I could (Smart Edition Prep Book, Secrets Prep Book plus practice questions on other sites) but the biggest package on the TEAS website ended up being the most helpful. Exactly like the test! I know it's expensive but UTMB is the only school I applied to and knowing that my TEAS would make or break me helped me to spend the money.

 

I hope that helps anyone who is thinking about it. ?
