Application deadlines for Frontier

[Sandwitch883RN]

I am planning to apply for Frontier's Bridge program. On the calendar that I printed months ago it listed all application deadlines and application review dates. I chose to apply to Bridge class 83 which had a deadline of July 12 to turn in applications. So I am finishing up my application now. I noticed that the class is no longer listed on the calendar. On Frontier's facebook page someone commented that the class is now closed? Could that be true? Why would they close a class before the application deadline? and if they do, how was I supposed to know they could do that? At every school i've gone to applications are accepted up until the deadline, then all qualified applications are reviewed. Does Frontier do that differently? I've seen nothing on the website to indicate that it is first come first served. If so, how disappointing to know that I may have missed out on applying for the class!

if you are trying for the midwife school, it looks like they are still accepting apps for class 82 and 84

I need to apply for the bridge program. Unless i'm misunderstanding, only class 83 is a bridge class. Thank you for your reply!

They have a link on facebook that they will answer questions on. Also, I may be wrong, but I believe that if they have an overflow of qualified applicants for one bridge class they roll them into the next bridge class. That would cause the next class to close faster though... I put my application in for Aug bridge in Feb and I am still waiting to hear. I may even get bumped to November. But I do believe they try to accept all qualified applicants....

Thanks for your reply. Since I posted, I did find out the same information you gave me, after calling frontier. I'm going to send in my application for the next bridge class. Hope ya hear something soon, and get into your class!!

Have either of you heard anything from Frontier? I am hoping to do class 84's CNM program. Did the school personally tell you that if there are a lot of qualified applicants they will consider some for the following class instead of giving them a firm denial? I hope this is true, because that would make the chances at getting in a little better I think. I am so excited to have found Frontier and am so eager to hear from them! Best of luck to you both!!!

On the application calendar site they do include this disclaimer:

The FSMFN reserves the right to close admissions for a class when the number of applications exceeds capacity for that particular applicant pool.

did you get a hold of anyone there to inquire?

Natasha-

yes, there are people who have applied for one class, and not been denied, but told that their application will be considered for the next class. There are some of them on the discussion boards on facebook-I think I've seen your name on the discussion boards, so look around. Make a post asking who its happened to and if htey got accepted teh second time around

Alternatively, you could be placed on a waiting list. I applied for one class at Frontier, was placed on the waiting list, and guaranteed admisison to the next class. Ended up being able to come off the waiting list adn getting admitted to the class I wanted

So, if you aren't admitted to the class you applied to, you could be declined. You could be considered for the next class, you could be put on the waiting list, or you could be guaranteed admission to the next class.

good luck!!
