University of Michigan (UofM) Accelerated program

U.S.A. Michigan

Published

Hi everyone!!! I am new to allnurses.com - I was wondering if anyone has applied for the Fall 2009 accelerated program? I have not been able to attend an information session due to scheduling conflicts. Does anyone know how many people apply to the program or know any "insider" info? I know that 50 people get in every year - I just submited my application last week for the early response deadline - good luck to all!!

I still haven't heard anything...not even about being waitlisted....I'm wishing we would just get a little update...letting us know a time frame or something. I'm still waiting to hear about program costs...I can't get an answer from anyone at SON. Does anyone have an estimate...give or take a few thousand? They sent me an itemized cost sheet from Oakland, right down to school supplies ( paper, pens, printer ink) and uniforms!

Yeah, I heard about being waitlisted a couple months ago

More waiting...:)

Hi All! I share your frustration! I applied last year and was waitlisted. So were about 15 of my friends/acquaintances. I only know of one person from that group that was admitted (and it wasn't me!). I applied again this year at the end of January and, like most of us, I'm still waiting for a decision! Good luck to everyone!

Have you applied to Oakland university? They have cohorts 3 times per year, and the program is cheaper and still only 1 year. Just sayin....

Wrote ---- today (again) to try and find out whether there has been any development concerning my application. She gave me the usual form reply, but did mention that they "hope to let you know of a decision by the end of April". So there is apparently a light at the end of the tunnel, it's just another 5-6 weeks away.

Beating around the bush and leading us on with the word....hope. Its very difficult to get any definite answers to any questions.

I wonder if anyone has ever been accepted late without being on the waitlist. I think it's just time for me to move on. I know I had one too many pre reqs left anyways....but would still like the official dear John...lol

I don't know, but it might be a little premature to assume you didn't get in. At least that is what I'm hoping. I know there have only been five people regularly commenting on this thread, but it seems likely that one of us would have heard something by now. After all, the admissions rate is about 1 in 5. I really believe that they are just painfully disorganized and slow. I could be wrong, but based on previous classes it seems like this is likely the reason. Keep your guys' chins up and good luck! Hopefully we'll hear some good news soon.

I agree with kfj6703. A lot of us are still waiting to hear anything. In fact, the only people I know who have received a response have either been waitlisted or not accepted. There's no reason to throw in the towel yet (I hope!). While the waiting is sometimes excruciating, it also makes me hopeful that they are spending quality time reviewing applications. Hopefully that's a good sign for all of us!

I think I may cut my losses and head to U of D Mercy in a few weeks. I really wanted U of M, but if I don't get in off the waitlist I'll have to wait until January to start in U of D Mercy's winter cohort. I've heard good and bad things about both programs, and the thought of being done one year from now is just too tempting. Does anyone have an idea of how much U of M's program will cost with the new 16 month setup? I'd like to compare that to the U of D Mercy cost, which I believe is in the low $40,000 range after grant money.

I haven't heard anything yet either. It's frustrating but I'm just hoping that means they spend a lot of time reviewing every application.

Spartan89- I don't blame you. I wish I had all the prereqs to apply to UD sooner. If I could start a program...any program right now I would! Good luck with your decision!
