Hi, I was wondering if anyone has applied to the MGHIHP new accelerated BSN program? If so, what do you think your chances are of being accepted?

Hi All,

Is anyone else having trouble submitting their FAFSA online??? I'm having a terrible time with it. There seems to be some problem with their website. It won't let me get to the point where I sign and submit it. It's very frustrating. I'm just wondering if it's something that I'm doing wrong or if it's something that other people are experiencing too? Let me know if you can :) Thanks everyone!!! Happy New Year :)

Hi!

I just got a couple of emails from financial aid regarding the FAFSA for the grant, is that what you're trying to do? It said that the website is having issues and to submit a paper FAFSA. The second email said that they would be understanding of the FAFSA issues and would forgive that requirement for the grant application.

Hope that helps!

Hi Flannfry,

Thanks for your response :) I got those e-mails too after I'd e-mailed the school asking them. Big relief! I thought it was something that I was doing wrong :)

Thanks again and take care!!!

I nearly danced with joy when I got the email about the FAFSA req being waived! BIG relief. :)

which fafsa are we supposed to file, July 1st 2008-june 30th 2009, or july 1st 2009-june 30th 2010?

We need the 2008-2009 for the Grant Application (though they waived that requirement as of this morning) and the 2009-2010 before the start of classes so we can figure out our loans, etc to pay for the program. I was told that we should do both as soon as possible which is very difficult right now with the FAFSA website down :( But hopefully they'll figure out their problem soon so we can all file :) Hope that info helps!

I got a letter the other day saying that I am on the wait list. Not too sure what's going to happen.

Hey DiDi,

I got the same letter. I want to call and see if they can give me any more info, like how many people are on the list, if there were a lot of people on the list that ended up getting in last year, but it sounds like they don't want people calling about it. Good luck to you and keep us posted!!

To all the people who have been accepted,

First - congratulations! I am very excited for you, as I'm sure you all are! Second, I was wondering if someone could tell me when the deadline is to accept and/or have your deposit in by. I'm trying to get some sense of when admissions may have an idea of how many spots are opening up for people who are waitlisted. Any info would be great. Thanks!! :)

Hi gRose-- for the first round of letters our deposit was due by jan 9th, so we had about 3 weeks. Not sure if the second round has about the same time frame but i would guess so. Not sure if this helps but my friend was on the waitlist last year and found out she got in around the 20th, i think it was rolling so if someone declined, they let someone off the waitlist. Best of luck!

Does anyone know how the wait list works? Is it possible to get into the school for the 2010 class if you are wait listed for the 2009 program?
