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 :)

Thanks for the advice! They only interview 125 people and there's 72 spots so we all have a good chance! Don't worry, if you think it went good then your probably in!!

Does anyone know if the interviews are one-on-one conversation? Or there will be two or three people from the admissions and one candidate at the time?? I am so so nervous as it gets closer... How many questions did they ask???

thanks

I had 2 people interview me. The questions seemed to all be off a standard sheet, but they did refer to my specific application.

I know it's unrealistic but I anxiously check the mail every day... the waiting is brutal! When is the last day of interviews? Sometime next week, I think... Was anyone told during their interview when to expect to hear more specifically?

My interview was last week and I was told that they are aiming to have everything sent out before spring break. She also told me that because my interview was during the first week that I would likely hear back sooner than someone who had an interview this week or next week. So, it sounds like it is a similar to a rolling admission once the interviews started - I expect the earliest we will hear anything is next week.

My interview is March 5th and I think the 6th is the last day of interviews. Anxiously waiting for that day to arrive.

....I had an interview today, and I was told that the letters will be send out mid April.. Did they also tell you guys to take care of immunization and hepatitis b done something like that and obtain a CPR certificate?? Does that mean I have a good chance to get in?? Yes the waiting Part is kinna of brutal..good luck.

I read on their website about the immunizations, but they didn't say anything to me about it at my interview.

Sounds like there's mixed information out there about the letters... I wonder which is correct? Mid-April doesn't match with what I was told at my interview-- they said early March. Maybe a lot of different people are doing the interviews so they don't necessarily know?

I got my letter today!! I got accepted

Congratulations, Yurany! When did you interview?

I just ran out and checked the mail but nothing for me today. My birthday is Monday... that would be a nice gift!

I got my acceptance letter today too!!
