The vague "May" date(a) is waaaaay too long to find out. Applications have been there for 3 whole months now. I hope they consider changing the length of time it takes to get letters out. If deposits to reserve your spot have to be given to most other schools, how can one sit around and wait for an answer from Massasoit?

I think that is why massasoit waits til mid may to send out letters. They don't want people to put in a deposit, accept their space, then withdraw. If they are the last school to send out letters, they will get their definite yes or no response from students from the get go, instead of people changing their mind whentheyhear from a different school, ya know?

Quincy College's program is known to be excellent as well. My mom and sister in law went through their program and both felt very well-prepared and have great jobs now. I am applying for Quincy's part time program. The deadline is July 15 and the program begins in Jan 2013- I really hope I get in! Sounds like Massasoit's program is great and the child care would be perfect for you Phina - good luck. Back when my two boys were little I went to Salem State College and they had an excellent campus preschool. It was a huge help. Now ten years later I'm getting ready to make a career change and go back to school - hopefully it will go as smoothly this time around and with teenagers to keep tabs on lol!
Got a large brown envelope from Massasoit yesterday.....requesting that I fill out the enclosed course evaluation form for the online class I'm taking....!!!!! I was a bit excited there for a minute!

The same thing happened to me! Now I've heard from two sources that admissions just this week started reviewing applications and it will be two more weeks!! I also heard that letters went out last Thursday, but I think it's safe to say that the latter is not true because we all would have received something by now, right????

Ladies, I cannot believe it! I was logged in to my massasoit account to complete my online Hist course discussions and just by chance I checked my unofficial transcript and it said "Nursing Day program" I Got in!!!!! I cannot believe it! All my hard work truly paid off. I was turned down last year and went and "hit" the books some more, took more classes.
I'm in! I cannot wait till I recieve my letter, my boys will be going to the massasoit "Childrens center" atleast 3 days a week. So don't give up girls. keep trying till you get in. Still in shock, I think Massasoit is the most competative MA ADN Nursing programs to get into in the Boston area. I hope the schedule is good. Anyone know the schedule? Are clinicals 2 days a week, and class component 2 days a week? Just to let you know, as soon as I get my letter I will call Quincy College and let them know I will be attending Massasoit, so a spot can "free up" over there for those applying. One journey over and another has just begun. I'll be staying tuned to this thread and hope to hear more good news here. Supporting each other is the best we can do :kiss
bringing out the bubbly this weekend ! :cheers: still cannot believe it.
Phina- I read your post and logged on- mine has also changed to "nursing day program"!!! I suppose we are in?! It's been a long road for me too... Core curriculum classes 2008, Med Assist program 2009, rn pre reqs since then. I will post later today about schedules- YAY!!CONGRATS!!!?

That's Great CMA! Just to let you know they get a thousand applicants for their nursing program not 400. Each year the number of applicants increases. I hope I can hack the program. Why does lab have to be on a different day than classes? Oh well that's a full 5 days the boys will need child care. Yes please let us know about the schedule, I wonder if we can req to be placed for clinicals in a location. It's great news! CMA- you applied only to Massasoit. Someone up there is definetly looking out for you. ?. I guess we will be meeting soon. Best wishes to all other "hopefuls"!
The only info about scheduling is from the info session (see post #7 of this thread). Wow, 1,000 applicants-no wonder it takes a while to go through them all! As far as clinical placements go, I'm not sure if you can request; in the med assist program, they did their best to place us as close to our home as possible. Whatever the next 2 years brings, we will make it work!
