Hi, thought I would make a discussion for those of us applying for the fall of 2017 to the traditional program at the University of Memphis. I've seen several for the accelerated, but with the deadline only a week away, I figured it might be nice to meet future classmates.
futureRNdiamond 27 Posts Feb 19, 2017 Hi :). I'm anxious but excited all at the same time. Are you a transfer student? Hello! :) I also applied to the LSON program for Fall 2017.
PearlBarbie 15 Posts Feb 19, 2017 Yes! Are you? I've been looking at other threads and I've noticed that acceptance letters are sent out around the beginning of March but you can also log back in to the nursing application you uploaded and see if you've been accepted also.
futureRNdiamond 27 Posts Feb 19, 2017 Yes, I'm from Chicago, but I have family in Memphis. I've read that too. The dean said they would email us. I wonder how many students they accept a semester. Yes! Are you?

PearlBarbie 15 Posts Feb 19, 2017 Well, if you happen to know where Rockford,IL is that's my hometown but I live in Jackson,MS now. I think they've moved away from sending out letters in general because when I applied as a transfer they emailed my acceptance letter. I have no idea how many they accept but I do know it's competitive.
futureRNdiamond 27 Posts Feb 19, 2017 I know where both of those places are. From what I've read they usually have a cut off around 3.0-3.2. Even though the minimum GPA is 2.9 (I think). The advisor I talked to said anyone with a 3.0 and above typically is fine.
PearlBarbie 15 Posts Feb 20, 2017 I completely understand. But this is going to be a long road if we both get accepted & its going to magnify the walk with Jesus. There's no way to get through nursing school without Him.
