UTMB UTHealh fall 2017

Published

I'm not sure if I'm posting in the correct forum and I know I'm a wee bit early, but is there anyone out there near Houston getting ready to apply for fall 2017 in a couple of months ?? Where are you academically ? I have micro and Chem left for this fall and I'm applying right before deadlines ! I keep saying it's far away, but it keeps coming closer and closer !

I'm a bit nervous as well. I spoke to a current UTMB student today who said I have a shot, but I'm honestly worried.

I made a 91.3% on the TEAS, with my lowest section being Science. I have only taken A&P1 so far, so at the time of the test, that's all I had taken. Of course, on the expanded score report, the only sections I had missed were topics covered only in A&P2. I.E Endocrine system, digestive system, etc. I'm hoping they take this into account when reviewing my score, but I would understand if not. Full score list:

Reading- 91.5%

Math- 100%

Science- 83%

English and Language Usage- 95.8%

What I'm worried about most is my GPA. I have a 3.45 cumulative, with my prerequisite GPA being just slightly higher. As I've only taken A&P1 and Chemistry (and did not do as well as I wanted to whatsoever) and AP'd out of 8 hours of Biology, my science GPA is only a 3.125. I am positive it will raise substantially with the characteristically easier classes of Nutrition and HDFS I'm taking this semester, but it may be too late for this Fall application.

Also, another question for anyone who may know: How much consideration is given for Honors classes? I have 19 hours worth, with 9 being prerequisites, and of those prerequisites a GPA of 3.67. Has anyone heard if that matters whatsoever?

@kelly15, from what I have seen, your GPAs and test scores certainly appear competitive to me. Best of luck!

Received confirmation email from Nursing CAS yesterday that everything has been verified and received the supplemental application this morning. Now it's just a waiting game.

Specializes in Radiation Oncology.

In the area where you enter your transcript? Where you have to give the course prefix: BIOL 1405?

Going back to last year's thread it looks like interview invites were sent starting the first week of March, so hopefully we will hear something soon.
