   4.0 prerequisites - they only consider the prerequisite GPA

   I said "most students" Of course there are other factors: essay/experience/rec- I'm not discounting experience. All things being equal, they'd look at the other factors to determine if you get a spot.

   They don't look at or care about undergrad GPA. They only consider the prerequisite GPA. Like you said, you had a 4.0. I asked admissions about this and they basically admitted as such. Most students who get in have a 3.7 prereq GPA at least.

   @Rachel9- I had a 4.0, 10+ years taking care of a child with special needs (commensurate with LPN duties), and I know my A&P professor wrote me a great rec. Honestly I don't think they care as much about the experience as they do the grades. From...

   I just called the admissions office and the person I spoke to said all decisions: accepted/denied/waitlisted will go out tomorrow. Good luck everyone!

    @ Rondo - I know, right? I'm brown and this icon is not working out at all hahaha. I agree with you re: GPA/stats. I imagine that will be more useful when decisions are out and for anyone who was waitlisted/denied admission who wants a better unders...

    I went through the posts from 2015, 2016, and 2017 and it seems the first batch of accepted students received (physical) mailed notice on Feb 28 and then others received an email on March 1 with the mailed letter following shortly after. I'm so nerv...

    One week, everyone! I am so nervous. If you get in, what would you do about housing? I know very little about the Springfield area.

    Hi Shamadi - I still cannot private message (they only allow that if you most at least 15 times). Would you still recommend this program to others? Do you feel on track to be prepared for the NCLEX? How are the classes/grades structured? Thank you!

    Hi Kenzie - you and I have similar backgrounds. I also worked really hard on the prereqs while working full time as part of an academic "redemption". Luckily, UMass Amhert ABSN only looks at the prereq GPA, not your BA cum. :)
