iv52 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I also interviewed at UTMB on Sept 17th. Did anyone hear back from them about admissions? Finding my inbox empty everyday is starting to get to me:/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kathleenf Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I interviewed on September 17th and also haven't heard anything... Sticking with the "no news is good news (for now)" mantra! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadia1187 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Is there anyone who applied to Utmb and has not gotten an interview or a rejection letter?? I feel in limbo, aren't they almost done interviewing!? I have acceptance from other schools but really wanted to hear from Utmb. What do you guys think?

bdb0051 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I interviewed Sept 17th and still have not heard anything. Thanks mlyly90 for posting about the categories, etc. I feel like I'm losing my mind eveytime I check my inbox without anything from UTMB. They are my first choice.

ashmash Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I am just taking comfort in the fact that no one else has posted they got accepted since right after the October interviews. Planning on enjoying my holidays and letting whatever will be be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eugenia110589 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Hey guys, I'm a first year student at the UTMB PA program so I know what y'all are going through. Just so you know I was a part of the first interview in August and didn't get accepted until January. It was a LONG 5 months of waiting, but if you haven't heard anything yet, don't worry, you still have hope!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

presjc2 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Hey Eugenia! I had a question. What is a typical daily schedule at UTMB during the first year? Are the classes 8am-5pm? I'm just trying to gauge if it is plausible for me to commute from Houston. -JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdb0051 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 i'm not in utmb pa program, but i live in galveston and commute to work at Baylor College of Med. Personally, I recommend moving close to where you'll work or go to school. I commute about 2hrs each way due to traffic; 20hrs a week. Just fyi. Traffic on gulf freeway is a pain.

ashmash Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Well, finally got the rejection today after interviewing in October. Good luck to the rest of you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
presjc2 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Your stats are kick @$$, Ashmash!!! I am very surprised you didn't get accepted. What do you think held you back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashmash Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 I really think they didn't believe I was dedicated to PA. I only have 20 hours shadowing but that's all I could find on Saturdays since I work full-time. Guess I wasn't convincing enough. One of the ladies that interviewed me asked if I knew the names of professional PA organizations and if I was a member. So I guess to that particular one it would've helped a little to be a part even if you are only prePA right now. idk for sure but I plan on calling to find out. So grades and GRE aren't everything.

bdb0051 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Got my rejection email yesterday afternoon after interviewing September 17th. Good luck to the rest of y'all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
presjc2 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 So sorry to see the rejections. I appreciate the honesty and candor from yall. Since admissions is on a rolling basis for UTMB, applying earlier would help. For Ashmash, you have a lot of heathcare experience that I think you can showcase better if you end up reapplying. IMO, you don't need direct PA experience (although it would help). You just need to show how you are dedicated to patient care and relay how being a physical therapist, nutritionist, etc is just the same as being a PA in terms of passion for patient care.

ashmash Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Thanks, I definitely do plan on reapplying. Your kind supportive words mean a lot. Good luck in school Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
presjc2 Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Thanks, Ash! Btw, did you apply to other schools? (you can PM me as to not deviate from this thread's discussion) Bdb, I think I remember you from the 9/17/12 interview, if I am correct, you were the sweet gal who had the dog story. Correct me if I'm wrong. I can't believe that you commute 4 hrs everyday (to work)!!! Kudos to you :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashmash Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Lol, no that wasn't me. I was in October interview. Applied to unt, Utsw, utmb, Baylor. Want to stay in Houston or Dallas area. Not even an interview from unt or Utsw. Guess my personal statement wasn't thorough enough. Still waiting on Baylor invites but not holding my breath. The ppl on that board talk about their Masters degree and what publication they are in. Ill just apply super early next year and have my essay reviewed to make sure I covered any concerns.

bdb0051 Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Yes, that was me and I do commute 4hrs each day to Baylor College of Med. It is a pain, but pays for the application fees. This is my 3rd time applying and I'm on the alternate list to be interviewed at an out of state school. BCM has not sent out any invites for PA yet. They interviewed med students last week (they were down the hall from me). I'll just reapply even earlier to UTMB since it is my top choice (Mine was sent June 1st this year) I'm still waiting to hear back from 4 other schools, including BCM. Good luck to the rest of you!

Laineyb28 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Looks like at least some of the decisions are out! I interviewed September 17th and got an email today.. waitlisted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
presjc2 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Congrats on the waitlist, Lainey! Lots can happen between now and matriculation so that WL may well become an acceptance!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laineyb28 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Thanks :smile: good luck to you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laineyb28 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Forgot to say yesterday that I am #13 but that I am probably going to go with another school I am already accepted to. Not 100% sure yet though. So if anyone is on the waitlist after that a spot will probably open up :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
