vcu amsn/absn admissions

U.S.A. Virginia

Published

I'm new to this forum. Received a waitlist letter for VCU's AMSN program today. Anyone else hear anything? There was a note in my letter saying ABSN letters would be sent out mid-Jan.

Here's to hope that we both get acceptances tomorrow. The waiting is killing me.

Me too. I actually emailed Cynthia in the admissions office to be sure something wasn't returned or there wasn't some other issue with my file. Not to be Debbie downer, but with my luck recently my name or letter was lost in a pile. I don't really expect that she would reply with "don't worry, you were accepted", though that would be nice. I apologized for dropping in during this really busy time and simply asked at what point would she suggest I worry if I have not heard anything. :) I will definitely share any response and hopefully true to form she will reply in the morning with good information on when the acceptances went out. She was great during the application process.

I am really hopeful that this means we were accepted since neither of us has received a denial or wait list and we know those went out already...but I am almost afraid to read too much into that.

I am sure some of the letters have just not made it out of the post office. I got mine today and unfortunately I was not accepted. I thought I was a somewhat strong candidate however I think the fact that I am just now taking A/P I and II, microbiology and developmental psychology might have hurt me application. Even though they said that doesn't matter to them I think it does. Anyway good luck to the rest of you! One of my good friends got in and I'm extremely happy for her. Wish me luck in finding other schools to apply to!

I absolutely wish you the best of luck gollyme and I am sure it is VCU's loss to not have you.

gollyme, I too did not make the cut. I'm in the same boat. I still have to finish A&P II, Microbiology + Lab, and Developmental Psych. Of course, all of them will be finished before the start of classes in May. I guess I'll try again next year once I have everything completed.

I received a reply back letting me know all letters went out last Friday. So it will be in my mailbox today. From some of the replies on here I was thinking they must have gone out much earlier and with where I live, I should receive a letter almost the following day....taking into account Richmond mail and my crazy driving mail lady. :)

Good luck jt43...they are dropping like flies out there...

I am also nervous about pre-reqs. I have finished all of my pre-reqs except for A&PII that I am taking now. I hope they don't hold 1 class against me. Although at my information session they mentioned changing requirements for the program and requiring that you have all the classes completed prior to applying. So I know there is some tension there.

Thank you kellyski. You are an extremely strong candidate for the program. I truly believe they will not hold 1 class against you. My friend who got in is just now taking her microbiology class. MEHokie, I am going to apply to the next cycle as well. If you think about it the next deadline is less than 1 year from now and in 1 year we'll have a better chance of getting in. I'm hoping applying twice will show we are dedicated .

Thanks for the info. I'm waiting for the mailman. Interesting about the pre-reqs and the possible change in requiring their completion prior to applying. If I were those of you who hadn't completed most of them before this year's application, I would definitely apply again next year.

Got my letter - waitlisted! Argh! This happened when I applied to UVA as an undergrad...maybe the powers that be are reminding me to stay persistent.

Fingers crossed for the rest of you! :)

nothing again today...I know the Richmond mail is messed up, but there is no way anyone in Richmond mailed me anything on Friday and it hasn't gotten to me yet. I live 10 min away from VCU. I guess it had to travel to DC first to be sorted. :bugeyes:

Haha. I'm in the same boat kellyski. We wait again until tomorrow. Gosh there are a lot of waitlisted people it seems.

Hello all. I'm just wondering if anyone else applied to any other programs? I know it would be just idiotic of me to not have 3 or 4 backup plans/schools when I apply again for the next cycle. I'm tryin to find places that require similar prerequisites as VCU. I'm not trying to be lazy but it'd be wonderful not to have to take like 4 extra classes in the future on top of the 4 classes I'm taking now. it seems the ODU and GMU programs are so much pickier than VCU haha. Darn it.
