Accepted to U.M. - Anyone else?

Congratulations! I am not starting there but I am looking at that as a possibility for the future. Currently I am at MSU and I am not having much luck getting into the undergrad program. So I may finish up my BS and then apply to some second degree programs. Do you have any advice for applying? Can I ask you what your GPA was? Any suggestions would be great.

Hope you enjoy yourself and good luck.

CONGRATS!! I know I'm not the only UM Second Career grad on here, but feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

Hi Cassey,

Suggestions for applying:

U.M. is starting a new procedure beginning Feb 08 - rolling admissions. So, the sooner you apply, the sooner you'll hear back. They will now have a waiting list. Applications should be ready to complete in January or February.

You do not need to have all pre-reqs completed to apply or be accepted. I have two classes this semester (lifespan psych and microbiology), and biochem in the Winter 08 term. I thought that might keep me out, but I received my acceptance letter last week for Fall 08.

U.M. currently still takes only one cohort per year for the Second Degree program - 48 students each September, but remember, they are running: 4 year BSN, RN to BSN, about 20 master's programs for RNs, CRNA, and several PhD programs for RNs.

My GPA is high - on pre-reqs, all As and A-. A couple Bs on earlier classes. Check the list of pre-reqs and equivalents - it's on their website.

Really nice people, very helpful on phone and in person. Feel free to email me anytime for anything. Good luck in your studies.

congrats!

I applied there and have not heard anything from them yet. Do you think they would at least send you a letter if you don't get accepted?

I'll keep my fingers crossed and keep checking my mailbox!

Hi,

Why don't you call them and ask about it? I have no idea if they send out acceptances all at once or not. I just got a letter last Wednesday.

Another way to check is to go to Wolverine Access, and type in your application id, and see if anything is posted there.

I would think that they would send notices either way.

Good luck. Let me know when you hear.

Regards, Susan K

Congrats! Make sure to check out Nursing Council and SNA information at the "T" when you are at the SON:) I'm in the four year traditional program, but feel free to PM/post any questions I might be able to answer.

Go BLUE!
