UTMB Summer 2017

Published

Hi future nurses! I didn't see a discussion board for the summer term of 2017, so I decided to make one myself(: Let's use this forum to discuss grades, TEAS, and the application process. This does include venting! We all know how anxiety kicks in when there's a bump in the road. Good luck to everyone that is applying!

I can't wait for the application period opens. Anyone that is re-applying, any tips?

Just curious, where are you guys getting your GPA breakdowns from? I have transcripts from various schools so it's difficult to calculate. Are they displayed somewhere on NursingCAS?

Yes it is. When you go to the status page I believe it is you can download a copy of your application. It's on there. Many pages down.

About how long does it take NursingCAS to verify transcripts once they receive?

it only took about 5 days for mine to finish verifying.

Does anyone know exactly what courses go towards your science GPA?

Never mind! I just found the evaluation form and it states in on there! I'm almost done with my application! Anyone else thinking about retaking the teas?

i thought about it and decided not to. I submitted my application yesterday and my transcripts should arrive tomorrow. For spring 2017 I made the mistake of waiting until the due date to submit and I waited FOREVER to just be rejected so I wanted to get done early just in case it is even a little bit chronological.

I see! Well I am hoping to finish my application by Sunday. It has been taking me forever because I went to 3 different colleges and transcripts are a pain to read and transfer lol. I have been praying about this school (my commute is long) and for whatever reason UTMB keeps popping in my head, so I finally decided to finish my application and submit it. The worse thing that can happen is getting rejected and that point I would just try again!

I went ahead and submitted mine yesterday with my original TEAS score. I wanted to try to retake it for a possible better score but the wait time for the supplemental application started to concern me (and for NursingCAS to evaluate everything). I figure I'll go ahead at this point and study for and prepare to retake the TEAS if I need to...fingers crossed I don't!

I received my Supplimental App on Thursday. Should we include our essay in there if we already included it on Nursing Cas?

Hi all! I am also aplying to UTMB summer 2017. I am confused on how to send the transcripts. So we go to our school's registrar and hand the paper that it says on the application? I sent my application, but I just realized that I had to send in transcripts.

I included my same essay only because when I left it blank and tried to continue on it gave me a pop saying this was a critical part in the application and leaving it blank could lead to not getting accepted. I would rather be safe than sorry.

Quick question what classes are included for the science gpa? Is just life science or behavioral science as well?

Transcripts are sent to NursingCAS directly. There is a form to be included on NursingCAS that you print out and have the registrar include in your official transcripts.
