University of Colorado accelerated BSN summer 2013

U.S.A. Colorado

Published

Hi everyone!

Who else has submitted their application? Due date was October 15th.

I did not realize that an invitational only interview was required! I wish they gave more advanced noticed than October 25th in order to have gotten the best value on a plane ticket.

What are your backgrounds? Are you applying to any other accelerated nursing programs?

I have over 4 years of experience as a medical assistant (college graduate, did not go to school to become MA). I'm happy that this program does not require more prerequisites. Some other accelerated schools around the country require Organic chemistry and Biochemistry! Thankfully I have all my prereqs completed. I do not live in Colorado and I am open to moving anywhere for an accelerated BSN. Other schools I havce applied to so far include UW and SUNY Stony Brook.

Hi eando, I have been poking every corner of the CU website and believe I read something about them being issued in May. A bit tricky for us out-of-state people trying to secure loans and apartments! I'm visiting next week to look for a place and think I will stop by the campus to drop off my immunization records...maybe I can hit up the Financial Aid office too and get a more definitive answer. I'll keep you posted!

eando and oceanblue - I emailed the financial aid office last week and they said the financial aid packages won't be available until May for us. I really wish they could do it sooner!!!!

To those asking about financial aid, I'm not sure if you're looking for info pertaining to federal loans or private loans -- I called the main financial aid number a few weeks ago spoke and with someone in the office who recommended that I begin applying for private loans for summer term beginning April 1st. He then emailed me a cost of attendance breakdown for summer term, which I used to apply for a Wells Fargo loan. My loans were approved and certified by the school this week. So if you are already at your Stafford loan limit and expect to have to take out private loans for all or part of summer semester, I'd suggest looking into it again -- the May financial aid package date may only apply to those eligible for federal loans.
