1. Just Took The dreaded TEAS test

   amwpillai replied to Star1278's topic in TEAS

   I agree with SnMrsSmiley. Our school doesn't require it for admission, but we just took it yesterday during orientation to identify our weak areas before classes begin. I didn't study at all and got a 91%. Most of the questions are pretty straightfor...

   BSN to be, if you (or anyone else) want to start a facebook page, you should contact Lynn McFarlane, the Director of Marketing and Communications for UMDNJ-SN. ( https://allnurses.com/nj-nursing-programs/umdnj-accelerated-bsn-205757-page13.html#post4...

   amwpillai replied to enilrek's topic in New Jersey

   coolbsn, we don't have to register individually for classes in the ABSN program, since we are block scheduled by the school. I don't think there's a hard deadline for the financial aid packet, but I would finish it ASAP. Congrats on your second acce...

   amwpillai replied to enilrek's topic in New Jersey

   Hi JustFiguringItOut! My undergraduate GPA (after being calculated by NursingCAS) was 3.76. I received A's in all my prerequisites. UMDNJ has it's own standard for GPAs, both undergraduate and prerequisite, so I wouldn't worry about it as long as you...

   amwpillai replied to enilrek's topic in New Jersey

   coolbsn, if you go to http://www.umdnj.edu/studentfinancialaid/index_new_brow.htm , it will have the general information you need about applying for financial aid. Going to "Application Process" and then "Apply for Financial Aid" takes you through a ...

   amwpillai replied to enilrek's topic in New Jersey

   TheDreamJourney, I just got off the phone with financial aid. She said we would technically be in the 2012-2013 year. But if you've noticed, on the authorization form there are two places to identify your class year - at the top of the form there are...

   amwpillai replied to enilrek's topic in New Jersey

   TheDreamJourney, thanks for the info! I was not aware that it mattered where we signed our tax copies - good to know! As for the authorization form, I too was under the impression that we were in the 2012-2013 class year, but now that you say that y...

   amwpillai replied to enilrek's topic in New Jersey

   BSN to be, you're saying that you had to send additional material (letter from the dean of your school) to UMDNJ. Did they confirm that they received this letter after you sent it and then told you it would take 2 weeks? I would not worry about the e...

    amwpillai replied to enilrek's topic in New Jersey

    TheDreamJourney, what do you mean by appropriate box on your taxes? Is there a certain space on your actual tax copy that you have to sign, or are you talking about the UMDNJ financial aid authorization form? I just got all my copies today so I don't...

11. UMDNJ Accelerated BSN Spring 2012

    amwpillai replied to enilrek's topic in New Jersey

    BSN to be, if you have already been told that they have received all your information, then I wouldn't call. Calling them just because you're anxious doesn't make them go any faster or make you feel any better - and they probably hate getting the "Ha...

    amwpillai replied to enilrek's topic in New Jersey

    BSN to be, I don't think anyone but Enrollment Services could fully answer your question, because we as applicants or students don't know every single person that has applied and been accepted/rejected or their situation. I've seen in threads where p...

    BSN to be, it was $300 for the tuition deposit and $85 for a criminal background check fee.

    amwpillai replied to enilrek's topic in New Jersey

    TheDreamJourney, I've also read on past UMDNJ threads that we take a TEAS exam as part of orientation. I don't think we have to register for it, I think that it's just part of orientation for everyone. From what I understand, it is only given to give...

    coolbsn, the second packet contains a an information sheet that tells you how to set up your online accounts with UMDNJ, when orientation for your campus is, and the curriculum that you'll be following. Since we are in the accelerated BSN program, al...
