University of Rochester Accelerated Nursing Program - ABPNN

AnthonyD · Jan 13, 2010

I stopped in to drop off my paperwork/deposit to ******* on Friday, and she said the May program will be 112 students, if I remember correctly. The largest class so far.

To those people that haven't heard anything yet: DON'T WORRY, they haven't gotten through the whole list yet with huge number of people that applied. Hang in there, you'll get the call!!! :)

ALSO after dropping my stuff off to ******** on Friday, I came home and a few hours later my phone rang - it was her (I assumed I had forgotten something or filled something out wrong)... And she says, "So Anthony, how would you like to start on Tuesday?" :eek: I was like, "WHAT? In like 4 days?!?" Apparently someone dropped from the January program at the last minute and they wanted to fill the spot. I declined, as I simply am not ready to start at this point (with things needing to be squared away with work, finances and other stuff). But dang what a surprise that phone call was!!

Hahaha wow anthony I would have had a heart attack with that kind of phone call. An accelerated program is so intense, I'm relishing the time I have before it begins so I can get a head-start on all the material!

When I found out Rochester had been calling successful applicants since before the holidays, I was certain I hadn't been accepted. But now apparently they're drawing out the process until the end of February?? Maybe it's because they don't have a waiting list, so they have to wait for people to decline offers before moving on to the next batch of applicants?

I sent in my application right at the deadline, and was interviewed on Nov 30... seems to be a little bit later than the rest, so does that mean I'll have to wait another month to hear back? Bahhh

Thankfully, I've already been accepted to the Stony Brook Accelerated Program, but I was hoping for closure sooner rather than later!!

And Xtina, there are 110 spots in the spring program.

*slightly off topic*

Why is the name of the person in the admissions office edited out of posts? Just wondering...

Probably in the interest of discretion.

Hey Guys,

I was just wondering if anyone got accepted to the May2010 yet? I just got a call today, Jan 18, regarding an interview. I wasn't sure exactly when they'll let us know of our acceptance? The administrator told me February, but I'm not too sure. Do you guys happen to know of a specific date?

Thanks.

Yes, some of us have been admitted already. If you look back over the last few pages of the thread, you can get a feel for things. But from what many of us have been told, it sounds like they'll still be notifying throughout the month of February.

Good luck on your interview!

Hi!! I just got my acceptance letter into the May 2010 class!! I'm so excited! I was super excited for the first 2 hours then a sense of dread came over me as I realized how much I have to take out in the way of loans!! YIKES!!! But now I'm back to excited and trying to rationalize my decision!! How are you guys dealing with that thought? I knew the program was expensive but that little green sheet that shows the costs gave me a slight panic attack. When is everyone moving to Rochester? I can't wait to meet everyone!! Wow this post has a lot of exclamation points! :lol2:

Oh and for people who haven't heard yet...I interviewed December 15th and didn't put in my application until the deadline. I don't know if that helps, but I was so nervous when I saw other people had already been accepted and I thought for sure I didn't get in. As others have said, I also heard that the process will go into February. Good luck to everyone!

Congrats Lindsey! :clpty:

I haven't figured that stuff out yet either. I guess my next step will be to make a trip up to Rochester and look around...

Lindsay2228 · Jan 24, 2010

Thank you! Congrats to you too!!! And congrats to everyone else! I am still floating. I wonder how long it will take for it to sink in:):):) Is it May yet??

LizettePS · Jan 26, 2010

Congratulations Lindsay! I actually interviewed on 12/17 and I've been hoping they contact me soon. I really don't have much hope anymore about getting in, but I did apply to other schools. At this point, I really just want to hear from them- whether rejection, wait list, or whatever, just so I can move on and be done with it.

Hey everyone...I've tried posting a few times, but for some reason my browser always lets me down! I had originally applied to start in January, but it looks like I'll be joining those of you that have been and will be accepted for start in May! I'm so completely excited and I absolutely can not wait for the first day of classes to roll around!!! There's so much good stuff to look forward to, it's really very exciting. I'm really glad to hear that more people are in and getting things together...I too am very nervous regarding the cost, but I figure I have to take it all in stride and the end will totally justify the means.

For out-of-towners, I've been living in Rochester for the past 6 or so years, used to be a Long Island native...but I'm officially here and am more than happy to help answer questions that anyone might have. I really can't wait to meet some new faces and just dive into everything...just a few more months!

For everyone else waiting to hear a final reply I wish you all good luck!

Hey everyone, I am also starting in May 2010. I am so excited and can't wait to meet everyone. Does anyone know if there is a facebook group for the ABPNN May 2010 students?
