ABSN Programs in MA

Published

So I have been on a journey of applying to different ABSN programs located in or near Massachusetts. I applied to Regis for their ABSN program and was invited for an interview and was immediately accepted the following day. I am thinking about declining them as I do not know if I can weigh out the cons to the pros. I have to let them know of my decision by tomorrow which is very stressful as I was only given a week and a half to decide. However, I do not want to limit my options as there are still more schools that I would like to apply to. Does anyone know the acceptance rate/odds of being accepted into UMASS Boston's ABSN program, along with MCPHS in Worcester's ABSN program? Those are my the two schools I am most interested in. However I am afraid to decline Regis and lose the opportunity there if I will likely be declined from those two schools. I need advice!!

Hi! Unfortunately I don't have great answers to your questions. I know UMass Boston is very competitive because its a good program and extremely cheap in comparison to others. From what I've heard from other prospective ABSN students, the more expensive programs are apparently somewhat less competitive. 


Question - would you mind telling me how long it took from when you applied to Regis to them contacting you to schedule an interview?

Gotcha, thanks! Sorry my reply was probably too late and vague to be helpful LOL. I have an interview with Regis coming up next week! I'm nervous. What kind of questions did they ask?
I should've asked before but did you end up going with Regis? Or did you decline?
And I'm originally from upstate NY, living in MA for about a year. I'm also looking at Northeastern and UMass Boston! 🙂
