ABSN UMass Amherst 2015

Published

So, I would really like to get into UMass Amherst for there 2015-2016 cycle, so I will be sending in my application soon for there February 2015 deadline.

I'm just wondering if I even have a chance since my Bachelors in Biology overall GPA is a 2.99, then I took a summer course (Microbiology) at a community college and received an A. Hopefully that'll boost my GPA up for my degree?

I also have over 2,500 hours as a Certified Nursing Assistant, and I've studied abroad in England/Ireland for a Biology course.

This is my number one school that I would like to get into too, I was just wondering other peoples statistics on their GPA average, GPA for their pre-reqs, and if anyone has been or is in the program can tell me about it?

Thanks :)

I tried looking for the group on Facebook and I cant find it, I found the one from last year. Is the name above spelled right?

Yes, it is exactly as listed above. "UMass Amherst ABSN 2015-2016". Hmm, not sure why you can't find it.

I was accepted to the program! I am still waiting to hear from OHSU here in Oregon, so UMass is likely my second choice.

As anyone heard from current students about the program? I would just like to hear from them about their experience.

Has anyone received an acceptance letter who interviewed march 2nd?

Congrats!!! :)

I was interviewed march 2nd by a teacher who teaches some of our first classes, is that a bad or good thing?? And I still haven't received my letter ! It's killing me!! Anyone have any input???

I still haven't heard either, and I was told in my interview that I was a very strong candidate. I don't like that they're staggering the letters...

I know several people who have done the program (I live locally) and one of the criticisms I've heard has to do with disorganization. Maybe that's coming into play here?

No, myself was interviewed on 2/20 but no word yet. I know what your going thru.

I had my interview on 2/26 and still haven't gotten any letter, the person who interviewed me said that I should expect to hear back in mid April,, but many of you already got the acceptance letters.. :(

No letter of acceptance yet, still not so patiently waiting lol. Anyone else hear anything??

I called today to find out when I should expect to hear... left a message. I'll let you know if I hear anything. Glad there are several others waiting, too... I was starting to feel like the only one!
