Anyone applying to the Basic BSN Program at UM Fall 2009??

Hello Tatiny03,

Wow you waited along time to hear if you got accepted! I applied after the March 1st deadline;however, they told me that it was not an issue and they already have all of my info, transcripts, letter of recommendation etc. When do you think I will hear something back??? Do you also know people that are still waiting for an acceptance for the accelerated program in Fall 2009???

So I too am waiting to hear back from UM for Fall 2009, I emailed Yolanda Quiles in the Admissions department (I have not been getting a response from the School of Nursing) she told me that the Nursing School has told her that they will start making admissions decisions at the beginning of May. Ugh, its been a long wait!

Hey CHICHI, Thanks for responding Im glad Im not the only one waiting for an acceptance letter. I also called University of Miami and they notified me that they will be sending out acceptance letters the second week of May. CHICHI When did you send out your application?? Do you already have an undergraduate degree?

Hi cmb- Yes I have an undergrad degree from UM, my GPA was not that great though. I actually went to visit the school last week (I was in town for a Nova interview) and actually had someone look in my file and tell me again it was undecided. I do have to say though from what I saw of both schools I was more impressed with the Nova facilities and the way I was treated there...

Hi Chichi,

So Nova has a better facility than UM?? But Nova doesnt offer an accelerated Nursing program. Nova offers a 36 month program which for me is too long. I would believe you would have a good chance of getting into the University of Miami's program since your an ALUMNI. What did you get your undergraduate in??

hey just found out I did not get in ... Luckily i did get into Barry.

Sorry to hear that... good luck at Barry! Did you get a letter in the mail? I still have not heard anything...

yeah last friday.

Haha, JUST got an email as I read your response... I didn't get in either. I have a feeling they got ALOT of applicants for the fall, I think it was very competitive. I guess prior alumni don't get any special consideration. Good luck to everyone else!

sorry to hear that... what are your other choices?
