afontana Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Hi guys! I’m a PA-S1 at UTMB and am one of the student ambassadors! You all have been doing great in interviews. I know it’s a whole different game doing zoom interviews and I have to commend you all for going through it. Just a few notes: -the thank you cards are being sent out to all interviewees! Keep an eye on your email for decisions regarding your admission. Especially check your junk mail just in case. -UTMB has rolling admissions, which means they accept students throughout the year. So just because you haven’t heard back within a week or so, doesn’t mean you can’t still be accepted! UTMB keeps a long waiting list and frequently pulls acceptances from there, especially near the end. -just be yourself!! I know interviews can be nerve-wracking, but the faculty just wants to get to know you. Take a deep breath and relax and remember that you were picked to interview for a reason! If y’all have any questions about the program, school or Galveston, feel free to reach out! Good luck! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they can send out acceptances really up until the program starts, so it can be at any time leading up to that point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarynnoelle Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Hey guys! I am also a PA-S1 at UTMB. I just wanted to give yall a little hope and hopefully help you destress a little. Last year, at this time, I had ZERO interview invites and had actually already received two rejections. I received my interview invite from UTMB on October 21, interviewed on November 8, and was accepted the next week. Also, many students in our program were accepted off the waitlist between January-June. So, my point is, do not freak out! I don't know if their timeline with interviews will be exactly the same this year as it was last year, but there's still time! I am also available to answer questions if you guys need anything! 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am having such a hard time paying my deposit! I have tried on several different PC computers always using the firefox browser. I always get the message "you are not authorized to access this component." I have tried emailing the program, and have also tried calling the help desk to leave a message. Its been hard for me to try and call anyone else besides the help desk because I work 9-7 and the help desk is only available from 8-5. Did this happen to anyone else? Does anyone have any suggestions? I would try using chrome or safari. Otherwise, try to get in contact with Shirley and let her know if you are still having issues.

futurepa2023 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 I’m also wondering about the Casper snapshot! I didn’t know what it was until I saw the forum and checked my email and saw it. Anyone know any more info or if we should complete? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happyavocado Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Hey! I was wondering if anyone heard back from Mrs. McGraw to set up a phone call about prerequisites after you provided your availability? I know we need to get it done by Friday, so I'm a little worried since I haven't received a response back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slovetx Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 (edited) 1 hour ago, TxFuturePA said: Has anybody had trouble logging in to MyStar once being accepted or after applying? I apparently didn't save the original emails with my login information once I received an interview invitation. I was told the my student ID was the number after my name in my acceptance email, but I still can't get it to work! Do you think I would contact enrollment services about this? Hey, I believe you have to use the VPN to access. Pulse Secure will send you a push to connect. If you don't have that set up, the service desk can help you: (409) 772-5200 (Galveston), (281) 554-1577 (Houston), (888) 898-2401 (toll free). Also, my MyStar login is the first part of my email and not a number, so that may be an issue as well. Let me know if you need anything else.
