Kamelia Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 I just declined my offer of acceptance due to acceptance at another program. I hope this helps someone out. Wishing everyone the best!

Zubaidah Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 I am very excited to be accepted to this program! but has anyone else been accepted to CBU program as well? And if so how will you make your decision? Dose anyone know what is the total cost for this program? UT is my top choice but I am trying to make educated decision Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if so how will you make your decision? Dose anyone know what is the total cost for this program? UT is my top choice but I am trying to make educated decision Hey Zubaidah, I think we interviewed together at UT! Congrats!(: I was accepted into UT and CBU as well! I understand what you’re saying, and I loved the faculty at both so I’m struggling a bit with making a decision. If it helps, I’ve been considering what each program has to offer, the cost of attendance, and the length of the program. CBU’s program is 29 months split into 8 semesters (not sure how it’s split exactly but that’s what the website said) at around 13-15K per semester. UT’s program is 24 months split into 4 semesters and depending on whether you’re in state or out of state and whether you’re staying at home or renting the cost varies. I can say that as an out of state applicant planning to live with family, the cost between UT and CBU that I calculated was not significantly different for me. So, if you’re in state and cost is an important factor for you, then it might be worth calculating to see if UT would be less expensive to attend! In terms of what each program has to offer, I loved how tech oriented UT is in terms of what I’ve seen with the anatomy tables and the CHIPS center. I know one thing CBU mentioned was different about its program was that it was one of the few with an Orthopedics practicum, I’m not sure if UT mentioned that or if they have that? Maybe someone on the forum knows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lweller1 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Barbara emailed me and said that PJ will let us know our positions soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raghukul Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 PJ said that there are 6 alternate groups on the waiting list, ranked #1-6. So would #1 be the best one for acceptances and #6 be the least one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaschaRochelle Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Those accepted not from TN, is anyone planning to visit Memphis prior? Thinking of trying to go the end of the month to see the city and get an idea of where to live! Would love to go see the school, but not sure if that will be possible with COVID restrictions!

I'm coming from Atlanta! I'm planning to visit within the next few weeks to secure housing. Does anyone have suggestions? I was looking at South Main District, but I heard a lot of students live on Mud Island. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Financially I think UT would make more sense to me since I'm in state. In terms of the orthopaedics practicum as far as I know UT does not have that but I could be wrong. Good luck on whichever program you choose, keep me updated I hope we become classmates! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can someone explain what the groups mean? Like does group 1 get offers first, then once they have no more people in the group, group 2 would get offers? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'm guessing each group has 15 people due to 90 people on the 6 groups of waitlists. So would group 3 be between #30th to 60th in spot? wow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had 120 candidates at the Interview and 30 got selected, which means 90 were waitlisted. Splitting 90 into 6 groups would be 15 people per group.
