UAMS- Summer 2009

U.S.A. Arkansas

Published

Just curious if there is anyone on the site applying this fall for summer 2009 entry to the BSN program at UAMS in Arkansas? :D Just wondering how many of you are out there...

Have a good time!

I am applying to UAMS for this summer as well. I'm finishing up a few pre-reqs at UALR this semester. Apparently they have extended the application date, so that is lucky for me...I was originally just planning on staying at UALR but then realized I could pack one more class on my load this semester and have pre-reqs completed for UAMS. yahoo...

Awesome! Did you get everything turned in on time?! I was glad they extended the deadline too! I was having trouble gathering all my transcripts. I can't wait to hear something good or bad. What classes are you having to take this semester to finish up? I had to take Anthropology and Technical Writing. I haven't started TW yet because it is a fast track online class. Uams would not take Engligh lit as an advanced comp so!!! I had to scramble to find TW. Anywho, my name is Dawn...I will be cheering you on as well!!! I want us all to get what we want :)

Thanks Dawn - I'm Barry. I am taking a bunch of classes, but Organic Chem is the one I just added on...planning on the rest of this semester being a real doozie. But oh well, it will be worth it if I get in!

I think they are sending out acceptances to the 'first round' of people tomorrow. I overheard something like that in the office today. I think they 'accept' 15 or 20, see how many of those people confirm that they will come to UAMS, then 'accept' another 15 or 20...and so forth. So, maybe you'll be hearing something soon! I will be at the bottom of the pile since I turned my app in so late.

adios!

Barry,

That is my brother in-laws name, so it will be easy for me to remember. Organic Chemistry was easier than I thought it would be. Sounds like you are going to have your hands full, I don't envy you. One semester I took 4 four credit classes and I think my brain turned to mush soon after finals!!! UGGHHH I will keep you in my thoughts

Thanks for the inside info! Do you work at UAMS? I am sure I will be one of the last ones to hear too because I didn't turn in my application until the very end. Plus even though I was born and raised in Arkansas my application shows me as an outside applicant. (FL) (AirForce family orders again). Oh well that is just the way life goes.

wow! Florida - where else are you applying? how did you pick UAMS?

I don't work at UAMS, I was just in there the other day to drop off my application and heard them say that. I am taking 3 4-hour courses and 2 3-hour courses now...I am gonna turn into mush for sure!! good luck with your applications -

Hey Barry,

I picked UAMS because a lot of my friends went to school there and one of them works there as a prof. she teaches the summer class. I didn't apply to any other schools because if I don't get into UAMS I will be going to NM with my husband. It is a long story but I will try to make it short. My husband only has 2 yrs until he can retire; recently we got orders to NM. My husband and I are from Ar and we own some property in Benton that we plan to build on when he retires. The part of NM we got orders to is crappy, and in that town I could only get an associates degree in nursing. Plus, I would have to take 3 more classes (each out of state school has diff classes 4 their programs). It is a mess!! so our plan is for me and our son to live in Ar which is where all my family lives and he will finish out his 2 years in NM we will just be commuting quite a bit. It stinks but the way I see it is..if I don't get in to UAMS I was meant to go with him. If that is the case I will probably get a BS in general studies since I am so close. We will see!

Yep, I can hear your brain melting right now! LOL Good luck to you too!!! If we get in, we can get a study group together!!! That is the best way to learn! TTYS if you hear anything let me know!!

Dawn, so I'm guessing your husband just got orders to where my husband just got orders! Cannon AFB, right? :) I thought you might be talking about there. We are supposed to be out there in July. I had my heart set on UAMS, but we really have no family or friends here (we are from California), so I'll be moving with him. I had already sent in my application to UAMS when we found out, so I'm not sure I will want to open the envelope or not when it comes (i will be sad if I get in and I'm leaving)... This semester I'm taking one last pre-req course (and one additional course just because I'm close to a bachelors in Biology) for UAMS that won't even matter when we move to New Mexico! We found out about us moving about one week after the drop deadline for refunds at UALR, so I am taking my 2 classes for no reason! :cry:

It really is looking bad out there in Clovis, NM... I have heard so many stories, it's hard to stay optomistic...

AirForceWifey, (send me ur name :))

YES!!! The same horrible place!!!! Our report no later than date is June 30. We have only been at Hurlburt field for two years. It has been a mess to say the least. If I get in my son and I will move to Benton and my Husband will go on to Cannon. Most everyone here that got orders are going to be living in travel trailers because they won't be able to sell their homes; that is our plan. My husband will deploy again in July for 6mths and when he gets back he is going to find a travel trailer to stay in until he can retire (I can't wait)only two years YAY. However, if I don't get in to UAMS I will go with him.

I have heard all the same stories!!! and yes it is hard to be optomistic!! We live only a few blocks fromt he beach. Portales offers a BS in general studies. Where are you and your husband planning on living after he retires? Back in Cali? I am sorry, from the bottom of my heart!! That place is nothing more than a cow pasture. If I do get in I will be visiting there often. Are you on facebook or myspace? if so I will send you my screen name. Your husband may know or work with some of our friends. Hope to talk to you soon.

I emailed the woman overseeing admission at UAMS and she said that acceptance letters were mailed out YESTERDAY! She didn't say if all of them were being mailed out or if they mail them out in cycles, but it sounds like all of them... So maybe today or tomorrow for everyone? Has anyone gotten their letter?

Hey Stacy,

I checked my mail just now. NOTHING!! I will post something good or bad.

Dawn

I just recieved my acceptance letter from UAMS today!! I'm still probably going to UALR, but it is nice to know I got in. Good luck to everyone waiting.
