I think this is the last week for interviews. I went in yesterday, don't feel so great about my interview. Everyone will know for sure by March 15th if they are weightlisted, denied, or accepted.

the website says:

[h=4]tentative schedule of notification:[/h][color=#3a3a3a]notification of finalists: last week of february

interviews for finalists: first two weeks of march

initial decision notification: 4th week of march

waitlisted decision notification: 3rd week of may

and my application status says:

we have done an initial review of your nursing application. you have qualified to be placed in the nursing pool. spring 2011 candidates will be mailed a decision letter the first week in december. fall 2011 candidates will receive a decision letter by march 15.

so i'm not sure where i stand if i haven't gotten an interview.

That's weird. I thought ABSN started in Summer only? Did you apply for traditional program?

Trendzetta,

I'm sorry to hear you did not get in. I had an interview about a month ago ( because my application was 'Complete' back in November) and was told I would be put back into the pool for review after all other applications were received. I haven't heard anything from them since, so I'm curious to know if your application status was updated on-line. Hang in there, nursing programs are ridiculously hard to get into. I'm sure you are extremely qualified and you WILL get in soon enough!

Hi cwrn1,

Thank you.. yeah, its stinks.

maybe i'll try again next yr or something.. Applying to Nursing School is so draining!!! Sometimes you just can't get your hopes up too high, I guess!

But as far as my status, it didn't change online. I received my letter and that's it. To be honest, I haven't logged on again to see if it's changed. No point in looking anyway.

From reading some of the other posts, if you haven't heard as of yet, you have a good chance in being accepted.

Good luck!!

For those that haven't heard anything yet, don't lose hope! I just got a phone call today: interview on Monday!

Ditto to cwrn in that you should keep trying. I do know how draining it is. This is my second time around applying to get into a program (with hopefully better results than last year - fingers crossed.) There were a lot of tears shed by me last spring.

If you reapply next year, they'll see you have persistence and dedication, and that should be a big plus for you.

Same here. I've been rejected from one school or another the past 2 years, and only got waitlisted at MGH this year. I send admissions an email this morning to check the time frame and they said everyone will know on or before March 20th. Thought I'd share that with everyone. Also, after I sent that, my status changed to :

A decision has been made regarding your application. You will receive formal notice in the mail within 14 business days. Thank you for your interest in attending the University of Massachusetts Boston.

Fingers crossed for everyone.

I was surprised to get a phone call yesterday for an interview. I'm going on Tuesday 3/6...it's not over yet!

Did people who got calls also get follow up emails? I got a call for an interview, but never received the follow up email that was supposed to tell me the details about room location etc.

Yes, I received the follow-up email. When is your interview? Do you still need that info? PM your email address to me and I can forward it to you.
