Is a letter always rejection?

Published

Hi, I have applied to Jefferson's online MSN program as a transfer student and wanted to know something, so I sent an email to the admissions dept to ask when I might learn their decision. I got no response, so I just called to ask the same thing. They told me I'd receive my letter in the mail. I have taken a good bit of my ANP program, still more than a year left, and want to transfer to this online school that I can complete in a year. They might need to ask me why. The letter feels like a rejection to me. Do they always send a packet if you are accepted or can it be a letter too? They also asked my correct address and phone number. This is the only school I applied to because I didn't have the money to put into all the application fees for more than one at that. I want an online school that has their program only over one year. Doesn't this seem like rejection to you? Also, if they want to know why i am transferring, what types of responses are best? My growth is stifled in the regular program, and I did really well in my online RN-BSN program. Soooo scared. Thanks, Barinbass

If it were me, I would think I were getting a rejection letter from what you described. But still, keep a positive attitude until you receive the letter. One never knows.

What are the reasons you are transferring to this school? Have research their school? and program you choose to transfer into? What have heard good or bad about this school? There are so many questions I can ask.

I've done my work. I was seeking an answer to my question based on others' experience. I emailed my RN-BSN program Director and asked her the same. She said that schools differ, and it can be a letter of acceptance followed by materials sent seperately. Now that I think about it, why send a packet of materials when we have the option of not accepting their admission invitation? That is a waste of materials and revenue. Once we accept, they should send admission materials. Makes sense to me. I also think I got a letter as my admission invitation from my present school when I started. Maybe I have answered my own question. Thanks, Barinbass
