Boston Direct Entry Program - Calling All Applicants!

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! :nurse:

    Hey all!

    I applied early decision for Regis, and was placed on the wait list.

    Has anyone gotten in, or know of anyone who was accepted from the wait list at Regis or any other school in the Boston area in past?

    Or is anyone else out there on a wait list? Or are my chances pretty slim?

    I'll be "waiting" to hear... :)

    Hi,

    Current Direct Entry Regis student (taking my RN boards in 2 weeks! yikes!!) here (I also applied to MGH, Northeastern, and BC when I was applying). I do know of people who got off the waitlist @ Regis. If you haven't heard from them by the end of the month and you're still interested in Regis I would give them a call and show them that you want it. They like that. The people I know who got in off the waitlist had called again about a month later. Let me know if you have any questions.

    Good luck to all! The wait is a killer I've been there!

    Thank you soo much for responding! That makes me feel a lot better! I flew out from California for the information session back in November...I used to live in Concord and I have relatives in the area, so Regis really feels like home.

    I'll continue to keep my fingers and toes crossed!

    Good luck on the boards in 2 weeks! I'm sure you'll do great!

    Congratulations, NurseGrad! So exciting, it must feel great to have that under your belt. Hopefully the MA ones will come through as well!
