Boston Direct Entry Program - Calling All Applicants!

[choco80]

Hello everyone - I just wanted to create a thread for those of us applying to direct entry programs in the Boston area to talk. Has anyone heard from any schools yet? Although I did not apply to Regis early decision (I am applying by the regular deadline), I know that they have likely already notified people - congrats to those who got in! I called Boston College a few days ago, and they said they are notifying people late February. I'm also applying to MGH, Northeastern and Simmons.

Good luck to everyone!

Hello, I've applied to BC, MGH & Columbia. Here's my statistics:

GPA: 3.4~3.5, GRE：1200+3.5

Also, I've spent more than 300 hours to observe in a inpatient hospital.

I know it is very competitive to get into the program. But I really want to know about my chance.

Does anyone know if BC do interviews?

Not to my knowledge...Has anyone heard anything yet? Looking at last years posts people were already hearing back this time last year! Fingers crossed that we find out soon!

I know... I'm dying to find out. I am obsessively checking this website... just desperate for any info. I guess it may be as late as February... so best to chill out, er, I guess.

Has anyone heard back from BC yet?? Last year people started receiving emails around Jan. 28th so I'm getting really nervous. Good luck to everyone!!

I'm willing to bet the weather has slowed down the schools' review of applications - a lot of the schools (even the Universities) have been closed because of the blizzards, or they close early - plus I bet the admissions offices at these schools has a lower threshold for closing than the rest of the university...

Just got off the phone with Boston College school of nursing. They told me that applicants will begin hearing back towards the end of February via e-mail.

boooooo thats so far away!!!!!!!

[pdubya24]

agreed! I was hoping to hear from at least one school before the end of Feb. but now its looking like they are all end of Feb/early March

I'm so relieved that no one else has heard back yet. I've applied to Columbia, BC, Northeastern, Mass General, and Simmons. I applied for the pysch track at all schools other than Simmons because they just have the family practitioner program. I just graduated from Simmons in December was a BS in pyschobiology. I didn't do well at all on my GRE, which I'm hoping won't kill me chances of getting in!

I applied to Umass Worcester, NE, MGH and Regis. Regis and Umass offered me a place already after doing the interviews but Ive not paid the deposit. NE was my first choice and was hoping to hear by now but talked to the admissions coordinator yesterday and she said the Direct Entry Program they've not even started looking at those applications so we will hear Late Feb. NOt heard anythign from MGH

[PsycMC]

Just called MGH school of nursing and they said we could expect to hear back the last week of February through the first week of March through both email and regular mail.

Looks like we have a couple more weeks to go. The suspense is killing me.
