UTMB Summer 2018

Published

I just wanted to start a group for those applying to UTMB nursing summer 2018 start! I didn't see a thread and figured there was some of us who could use one!

I have already taken my teas and will be submitting my application soon! This would be a great place for us to compare timelines and answer any questions I'm sure we all have! I look forward to hearing from other applicants.

There is always a possibility, but my interviewer mention how she liked my essay, i even felt like I had a good interview.

I received an email regarding my blue card about two weeks ago before I got the waitlist email.

Okay wait, what did the email about the blue card say? I'm thinking maybe you all are talking about a different one.

The blue card is from the Board of Nursing that states that you have passed the background check. They're asking to send it to them, but I threw it away because I thought it was just junk and didn't think much of it. What I don't understand is that they didn't ask for it when I got waitlisted for spring.

Thank you! The email I got two weeks ago was Ms. Botello asking for more information for my blue card.

So you actually received one in the mail j_dinh? Do you mind me asking when you got yours?

Does UTMB tel you that you should get a background check done even though you are just waitlisted? I'm currently waitlisted for the Summer but have not received anything about a blue card

They are just now asking me about it for the summer and I got waitlisted for spring too, so I don't see the difference between both semesters. I got my fingerprinted for spring. I called today and they said normally about 10% of the 90 applicants get waitlisted. Not sure how accurate this is, but if that's the case, then the waitlist must be short.

I just got my fingerprint email, my question is, if we are just wait listed and do not have acceptance yet, why are we paying to get fingerprints done?
