I'm in agony waiting to hear on UAB's admission decision to the Spring 2010 online MSN program. I applied in July. On the application I selected to be notified of my status via email. They were planning to send out decisions starting on Nov 2nd. II check my email like crazy on Monday...and nothing. 've never contacted them these whole 4 months but finally gave in and called the SON yesterday to ask when we should hear something and she said she was working on trying to get them mailed out by the end of the day. I keep going back and forth on whether or not I think I got in.
Are any of you students at UAB? Do they only notify you via USPS mail if you got in? If I didn't get in, maybe they would only email me since that's what I selected on my app. But for students that do get in, maybe you are notified via snail mail because they send a package or something?
I realize that I look pathetic and I am not normally like this, haha. But this 4 month long wait is about to kill me. I'm very excited about going back to school but the worst is that I didn't even apply to any backups..eek!
I didn't know some one had to post a certain amount of posts. I would rather be PM then post my email on public site. I'll bet ya will reach 15 posts soon.
One question I have is what made you choose USA? I am also looking at University of Southern Indiana, and I'm not sure which I would choose if accepted to both!
USA has a high ranking for graduate schools according to US World Report graduate ranking. The cost of attendance seems some what reasonable compared to other graduate schools. No out of state fee for the online program. USA's Advanced Family NP psychiatric program has a good reputation. Which program is your focus for graduate school? I do not know much about the other school you applied to.
My focus is acute care nurse practitioner. There aren't many online programs for that focus.
I'm just worried about finding preceptors since there is nothing close on USA's list. Also not working at all isn't an option for me so have some concerns about that. Have you found the advisors easy to work with at usa?
USA's in-state graduate tuition is $218/hour. Their web course graduation tuition is $308/hour. I am currently researching various online MSN programs and have not found one that allows in-state tuition for out-of-state, online students. I am hoping to find an FNP program that has an MS-bridge option as I have a bachelor's degree in biology and am an RN (associate's degree). So far, no luck!
