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 :)

Anybody receive anything who interviewed the week of March 5th?

Hey guys, I interviewd on Feb 26 and I haven't heard anything yet :(

Getting pretty anxious. My GPA isn't the best but I have lots of direct patient care (EMT, patient care tech). I called the College of Nursing today and they said that they are still in the admissions process and letters will still be getting sent out mid-April. I'm just getting so nervous because so many people that interviewed around when I did have already heard. Umass is my number 1 so I'm pretty antsy.

I'm sorry, Lily... waiting is so hard! Hopefully you'll hear sooner rather than later!

My interview date was feb 19 and I still haven't heard anything! I completely understand.

I got a letter today informing me that I was put on the wait list. Anyone else?

So, if you don't mind , is your GPA is below 3.4?

@Lilylover91, if you don't mind asking you , is your GPA is below 3.4?

@fafa15 yes it's a 3.1

@Lilylover91, God knows the best. Keep praying and have faith, you never know. Hope, they will call you in due time.

I was put on the wait list as well. Only prayers will help now.

My daughter gave up her space as she is going someplace closer to home so someone will be getting it....Good Luck all !!!!

On the waitlist and really hoping for a miracle! Good luck to those in the same boat!
