ABSN UMass Amherst 2015

Nursing Students School Programs

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 :)

Hi all, my interview was the 18, my GPA is 3.8 overall and I believe 3.45 for the pre-reqs. I am a registered dietitian and I have worked in a hospital for 4 yrs. My interview went very well I thought. I was interviewed by two ladies, they made me feel very comfortable.

Thanks! Yes, I interviewed on the 18th and my letter was dated the 20th. That means it took almost a week to get to me in NY. Hopefully you hear back this weekend or Monday!
