UMB Spring 2010 Applicants (BSN or CNL)

Do you guys think the date is being pushed to nov. instead of mid oct. b.c maybe there is a greater number of applicants than expected?

i got thesame email too...it is really goin to be the longest wait of my life!!!...nd i applied to the BSN program...nd i think i did poorly on my net but everything other than that is great. Do u guyz think that wld disqualify me i'm scared

scrub- i dont think they pushed the date because there is more applications to review, i think it gives them a little bit more time to get a better picture of who they will have in the class. if they send out the first round of acceptance letters and a bunch of people say they have already accepted at another school, then they are going to have to fill in those spaces with other students. i think the november deadline is probably to make sure that they are able to send out acceptance letters, hear back, and then send out more if needed. in this way it could be looked at as a good thing.....good luck!

i got that letter too, and yet, somehow i can't stop checking my SURFS website. i just want to know...that would be fantastic!

I called and flat out asked WHY it's November and the former answer was correct.... they want to know the entire applicant pool- apparently Sept 1st was a 'loose' deadline... so they're letting stuff trickle in from 'highly' qualified applicants that were slow... haha great. I don't know how long they will give you to send in the $400 deposit to claim your spot when accepted for the traditional applicants. But right now they are sealing slots for the applicants from College Park that were granted guaranteed admission.

What do you mean by "they're letting stuff trickle in from 'highly" qualified applicants that were slow"?

I am applying from a community college where the majority of my nursing prereqs came from and some other prereqs came from another attended school. I was wondering if it is silly to have RSVPed to go to the Open House on October 3rd. I know I prob. won't be accepted by then (hopefully I won't have a rejection letter by then...ouch )

Anyways, should I cancel on the Open House if I haven't received an acceptance letter by Oct 3rd
I'm starting to think now that it might be a bit awkward if I'm there and haven't gotten in...

Although I do have valid questions that I would like to ask current students, such as, is there a certain method you suggest in buying books or which classes do you suggest I take the 1st semester". I would prefer to not get accepted last second and have no clue on how to 'get ready or prep'.

My application is still sitting on "complete ready for review" and I received that email too saying all my documents were in....

Thank you!

The open house isn't for accepted students its for people that are interested in attending the school. So it wouldn't be awkward for you to attend.

Rosearepink = definitely go to the Open House and it's for us don't cancel. If we don't get in, we will get some useful information for future.

They want you above the national average which is 70% in both (actually I really think after researching the National average is 68% in reading and 73% in math) but I was told above 70 in both and online it says the absolute min. was a 55% in either or and an average combined score of 70. But as long as you were above a 70 in both I think you should be golden. I hope that helps....

Go to the Open House. You will be welcome - VERY few offers of admissions will have been made at that point. And besides, they usually have a student panel which talks about what nursing school at UMB is really like.
