Applying for UMSL's 2010 accelerated BSN program

Hi! I am also applying for UMSL's 2010 Accelerated BSN program. I'm graduating from Truman State in May so I will already have another degree... although not even remotely related to nursing. I am kind of worried about being able to get all my pre-reqs, because at Truman you have to be a bio major or health major or psych major to get into some of the ones I need... I am hoping I can get overrides from the professors of the classes.
I have in all my application materials that UMSL's website says we need. Is there anything besides the general admission material and the supplemental application for the nursing program? My UMSL general admission stuff was all in over a month ago though, and I haven't heard from them yet. I called and they said it was because they were still getting to the applications for this fall and then they would start on the 2010 applications. Is anyone else having this problem?

That's interesting, I never thought of that! Do you know if there's a way to change my application since it has already been submitted?
For pre-reqs I still have to take A&P 2, Microbiology, Nutrition, Psych, and a Philosophy class. Last year I was thinking about going to UMSL or Meramec this coming year to finish them, because that would be easy. But I wasn't able to finish all my classes for my majors that I've already been working on for 4 years, which is why I'm staying at Truman. It's kind of a frustrating situation... but a professor would have to be a real jerk to not let me in a class that I need for UMSL's program, so I'm just hoping none of the professors are that mean!

I have my schedule all worked out, so I won't have any problems in terms of course load. I only need a couple more for my majors. I am already enrolled in my fall classes, so those won't be an issue. The ones I have to take in the spring are the ones I'm concerned about, and Truman hasn't announced who is teaching those yet. Really there are only two that I'm not sure about. If push comes to shove, I can probably take them at Moberly Area Community College. It's about an hour away, so I would probably have to take them in the evening, but if that's the only way then of course I'll do it.

I called UMSL today, and it doesn't look like I can change my application. But I also talked to the department of nursing, and they said it's ok if I'm not accepted yet as long as all my stuff is in, so it should be fine.
When I get back to Truman in a couple weeks I am going to talk to some teachers about getting into those classes. So I should know soon!

Hey Lacey! I just applied about a couple of weeks ago to USML for general admission. I got a letter in the mail today saying I was admitted to the Nursing Major, pre-clinical track of the College of Nursing. Since I was admitted and I even applied (it sounds like) after you I would think you should be hearing from them soon. Have you gotten a letter in the mail saying they received your application? I got one several days after applying. You can check your status at https://myview.umsl.edu I actually found out I was admitted through the website several days ago before I got my letter. Good luck!

Hi!
I called UMSL yesterday, and they told me they won't be looking at 2010 applications until September. The nursing department told me they won't look at the 2010 accelerated BSN applications until September 15th, and that I should hear something mid-October. This is all very confusing. But congrats on your admission! That's so exciting!

Huh...that is kind of weird that I applied after you for general admission and got in already and they told you they don't even look at applications until September. I did apply on-line...I wonder if that makes a difference because I have heard that the processing and everything is quicker because it is already in the computer. Did you apply through mail or on-line?
