UMSON BSN Fall 2013

U.S.A. Maryland

Published

Hello everyone! It's my first time posting on this website. Just wanted to see who else is applying for the BSN program for Fall 2013? Any advice for new applicants? :)

I was under the impression that all acceptances were made around the same time. My question is: does your status change online before your are contacted by UMSON?

Mine changed to saying Decision Made and Provisional-Admit online before they contacted me.

Thank you for breaking it down. I get it, but what I don't get is how someone could do that? It just isn't fair! Thanks again :)

Hard to say. I think they divide up the list and staff just start calling. If no answer they go on to the next person. The fastest way to find out is to check your status - what you want to see is "Admit Institution" or "Provisional Admits" which means you are in IF your last transcripts to be submitted are all Bs or better. We suspect there are some who know they are going to pull a C and delay submitting that transcript on the theory that there won't be enough time to notify and get in someone on the wait list. All that does is deny a space to a wait list person - it does not create a situation where UM would let that C slide and let that student in to fill the seat. Are there exceptions? Very, very few and the circumstances have to be pretty extraordinary, submitted to admissions, and deliberated on very carefully.

west0807 - there is only one school but two campuses. All applications are reviewed together without reference to campus.JulieBeans - it is possible you get a call before your status changes or vice versa.nermface - I like to think that there is a special place in Hades for selfish people who would do that.

Hi everyone! This is my first time posting. I applied for fall2013 and the suspense is literally killing me!! Congrats to those who have been accepted and remain calm for those like me who are waiting :)

Would anyone want be apart of a facebook group for the people accepted- like a group called: University of Maryland School of Nursing Class of 2015?

Grey Lady,

If my application status is STILL complete ready for review at this point, should I be concerned.

Hey sbaumg93, I think that's the majority of applicants right now. It seems so far that only one person has mentioned being accepted. I wouldn't be worried. I know it's annoying waiting for feedback. I've applied before and been wait-listed (about 3 years ago) and it took a long time to hear. At the time my GPA was a lot lower and I'm hoping my improved GPA (not to mention added life experience) will help me be accepted this time around. Good luck :)

mrissky- Got the call today:) a Facebook group sounds like a great idea!

congrats to those who have heard!! i still have not seen a status change online nor received a phone call. good luck to everyone!

gmccreary- I just created one. It is called University of Maryland School of Nursing Class of 2015 :)

Oh and congrats to you!

mrissky- Congrats to you, too! I'll be letting my parents know tomorrow and then join. Also- for others that are watching their status- mine seemed to go from complete ready for review right to decision made. If there was anything in between, it happened quickly as I check every few days. Good luck- can't wait to meet everyone!!

Yay! I'm in! I missed the phone call (I was teaching class), but my status has been updated. How do you know which campus you have been accepted to?
