I have a question for Grey Lady:

what are the odds for an out of state applicant? I understand from a few conversations with admissions that Maryland applicant get priority. are there spots left open also for out of state applicants?

An out of state status is not an issue. Yes, because Maryland is a land grant college it must admit a certain percentage of in state students - I don't know what that number is. But I do know that so many Marylanders apply - thanks to a very affordable in state tuition rate - we have never had to worry about it. So, no - we do not even bother to lable an application "out of state" and there is no quota for out of state students. There has not been a need for one.

Hello, I have a question: How many students are admitted into UMSON?

The Baltimore campus takes 80 to 90 BSN students and the Shady Grove campus takes about 50.

Does anyone know about when they are going to tell applicants if they are admitted or rejected?

The admissions office said April. From the looks of it, last Fall's applicants found out about 2 weeks into April. I wouldn't expect to hear in March. I'm getting anxious as well though because I am hoping to go to UMSON, but receiving pressure from another school to commit. I'm going to hold out for UMSON's decision though.

Grey lady,

I have applied to UMSON and my application seems ready for the committee, but I have a huge problem in that I only got 60% on the teas. Do you think this could be a factor for me to get refused? What are the chances that I have to get into the program with this teas score?

Thanks,

Hi Grey Lady,

Another question. I understand that it is important to maintain at least a 3.0 in all remaining prerequisite courses if we've been provisionally accepted. However, what if someone had earned at least a 3.0 except for one course (in which case would be a passing C). Would that person automatically be rejected?

Me too :nailbiting: I'm still "complete ready for review," but I'm already losing sleep! Hopefully, whatever decision they make is for the best :)

Hello! Just wanted to encourage everyone here to remain calm during these last few weeks of waiting it out! The last time I had to apply for a special program in college, it took the administrative program leaders looking at our portfolios an extra month to decide who got in to the next level and who had to leave the program. They only had about 70 applications to look at... I am so thankful for this thread because I can see that all of my anxieties are quite similar to everyone else's! Best wishes and good luck to all of you who have applied to UMD SON, and to those who will apply in the future!
