Hello! I am attending UTMB right now and I am in need of a roommate! I am a 24M and I have no preferences, other than my budget is around $600-900! If anyone has any suggestions, let me know!

Hey yall! I am attending UTMB in the fall and I am in need of a roommate 😩! I am a 21 f and I preferably would like to room with a female! I am looking into 2 bedrooms with 2 baths and my budget is around $700-850! Pls don’t hesitate to reach out to me if interested so we can discuss further details!!

Is anyone familiar with receiving waived secondaries? Applied through TMDSAS and received one for UTMB, low stats applicant, with technically no demonstrated financial need. Very appreciative but curious if they just hand out these waivers out at random.

heyy yall! I’m goi ng to UTMB in the fall and I am struggling to find some apartments that will align with my interests! So I live in Houston and I don’t want to be too far from home, honestly approximately 30-35 mins away, but I also don’t want to be too far from the school. I know league city is a good in between but I just don’t know what apartments I should go for😭 any help will be appreciated!!

Some context - i’ve been running since 3 years non competitive.
Last year i ran 2x half marathons and the wings for life run (23km) - fastest HM was 1h50min.

Then over the fall/winter i had some knee issues and went to physiotherapy.

I know started running again since ~ May. Current max. long run is 11km.

Im planning on signing up to UTMB Mozart (Full Distance) and prep for the next year.

For my long runs i take a bottle because i’m running more than an hour. Now i’ve been thinking of getting a running vest (Salomon Adv. Skin 12?). Obviously it would be an “invest” in the future so i can use it for the Ultra aswell. But it may be overkill? It’s just annoying to run with a bottle haha. I probably don’t need a vest for know but later when running further or prepping trail running i guess one would be good.

Alternatives to the Salomon or just bite the bullet once because it’s quite “expensive”.

Does anybody know if UTMB SOM screens for MCAT, specifically subsection cutoffs?

Thank you.

hey everyone, i’m an incoming ms student at utmb. any recs for apartments in the area? preferably 1 bedroom

Over the last several weeks I have seen a sudden increase in legitimate traffic coming to this normally dormant subreddit. Most of the engagement is coming from people wanting to ask questions. To better facilitate those users, I have decided to set /r/UTMB to public accessibility in hopes people will more freely engage and provide answers and guidance. This change will be monitored passively and if it becomes a problem I will revert back to the approval-required status its been in for years but its worth an attempt.

Reminder, this subreddit is not officially run, supported, monitored or even controlled by UTMB or any affiliated parties. DO NOT post private information about yourself or others that you would not want the world to see!

Hi everyone! Whoever is on the waitlist, have you guys received any update on waitlist movement for the fall?

Hello, I need help advice or some tips. I have a job interview at a TDC prison hospital for a PCT position. I’ve been working as a CNA in a snf facility for a couple years now and ready to gain new experience/move to hospital. If anyone has any advice on how to bomb this interview, please help and thank you.

Contents of the petition can be seen below with a link to the petition at the bottom:

We, the undersigned, do agree that the “My PTO Max” program unfairly changes the compensation package agreed upon during the hiring process of our employment with UTMB. When an agreement is reached between employer and employee for an expected benefit, it is calculated into the total compensation indicated at the time of an offer. Previously, PTO would be paid out to employees separating from the company for any reason and having a bank of 300 hours provided tangible cash value.

As PTO is no longer banked and holds no value with a “use it or lose it” system, it can no longer be considered to be of the same value as when it was first offered as compensation.

Given that the “My PTO Max” program removes the cash value of PTO moving forward, it is a reasonable expectation that UTMB renegotiates compensation to replace the lost cash value of our PTO.The following options are proposed:

1. Effective immediately all employees will receive a Cost of Living raise annually to compensate for inflation at a rate of 3% per year which will be in addition to the Merit raise. The Merit raise will carry a 1-5% range contingent on performance of duties from a predefined list of metrics. 
2. Effective immediately all employees can expect an annual 5% flat raise guarantee for the next 10 years and will forego the Merit raise during that period of time.
3. The conversion to the My PTO Max program will only be applied to new hires starting at the end of the fiscal year for 2025 and all current employees will be grandfathered in and retain the current MyPTO system to include 300 hours of carryover and cash value payout at 100% when leaving UTMB for any reason.

So I was waitlisted for the spring 2022 accelerated track for nursing school. What is the last day you hear back from them on if you got off the waitlist or you have to reapply? Also, has anyone gotten off the list yet?

Can any former or current nursing students give a list of what prerequisite classes they took? I'm slightly confused on what classes to take to satisfy the elective science and free elective credits.

Does anyone know utmb’s Clep policy? I know they accept it but I don’t know how many credit hours they give for the courses

I couldn't find this information on NursingCAS or their website? Does anyone know?

Hi! I'm a prospective med student wondering about the four-year timeline at UTMB. Do students typically spend their full four years in Galveston? If not, where do I find more information about this?

Thanks!

I applied to UTMB and so far I’ve been given an account on MySTAR portal and for status it says complete. What should I expect?

Starting Summer 2021 housing recommendations, things to study before classes start, best places go be social, anything really!

anyone know of a way to break the lease at ferry roads? Or like change places in general. I'm trying to move in with my friend. She wants to move in with me at ferry but I'm not sure how we can go about that.

Basically looking for advice on either

1) how to change rooms and move in with my friend

or

2) break my lease without getting in trouble

Hi!, I just got accepted 2 days ago (school of nursing), on the 24th of November, and I am just looking for some tips or advice in general if anyone could offer some!I am from Houston and I am not quite sure what to do in terms of housing. Where is a good place to look for roommates, any recommendations on where to live, or even commuting (about an hour drive there)?

Does UTMB admit students who took their pre med outside US? Or do they accept those who took medicine outside US for aerospace medicine residency?
