Hi, I was wondering if anyone has applied to the MGHIHP new accelerated BSN program? If so, what do you think your chances are of being accepted?

Big news everyone! It looks like the first round of letters have arrived. I just checked the mail and found out that I was accepted...with a merit scholarship! :yeah: My whole body was shaking, I could barely open it!

Good luck to everyone who is still waiting; my prayers are with you! Looking forward to seeing many of you in May!!! :specs:

Congrats on your acceptance! I received an email from them yesterday stating that I am in the group that will be hearing in January. Does anyone have any idea if this is a good or a bad thing or how these groups were broken up?

I'm wondering about this, too. Why would they wait to notify everyone? Do you think they both accepted and declined applications in this first round?

The only thing that makes sense in my mind is that they put out the first batch of acceptances and are waiting to hear who will come before sending out the second round of letters.

Also, I wonder if they really will be accepting more candidates than they originally planned to take.

Great news everyone! I just came home to a 5x7 envelope in my mailbox with my acceptance letter in it!!! I ran up the driveway like a maniac, screaming the whole way into the house to tell my boyfriend and everyone else I know! :yeah: So, so happy!

Congrats KRyanRN2B!!!! I know how you feel! It's amazing to FINALLY know! Can't wait to meet you in May!

Good luck everyone! I have my fingers crossed for you! Hope to meet you all in May as well!

Lots of luck!!!

I also got an email from them saying that I'm in the second group and that the decision letters will be mailed out around January 15th. I really hope I get in. The anticipation is killing me!

Sharanigans,

Congrats to you too!!! :yeah:I still can't believe it; it's definitely going to take a little while to set in. I keep reading the letter over and over; it just doesn't seem real! My husband was literally walking in the door when the letter arrived and I just told my parents a few hours ago. I'm sure you're in the same boat right now and are sharing the exciting news with friends and family! It's nice to know before the holidays. Now take a deep breath and enjoy it!

To those of you who are awaiting the news, hang in there; you're in my prayers and I'm wishing you all the best of luck! :up:

Looking forward to meeting you in May, Sharanigans!

Hi everyone!

I'm new here and also got my acceptance letter yesterday! I was shaking so badly. I had applied last year and gotten waitlisted, and didn't have very high hopes for this year but I got in! I haven't stopped smiling since.

Looking forward to meeting some of you in May!

Okay now for a question-- I still have my chem req to complete. Someone mentioned something about the program starting earlier than it did this year. Is there any confirmation on that? I'm doing gen chem II at Quincy (just finished gen chem I, whew) and it ends 5/8. Now I'm getting nervous ...

Congrats on getting accepted! As for the chem prereq, you must complete the course before this program starts on May 4th. I would look for a different course. Someone mentioned an online one that works. Also, remember you don't need the lab.

I am waiting to find out if I got in. I didn't receive the email saying I was in the second round, but I haven't gotten a letter yet either. I am keeping my fingers crossed! Hopefully a letter will come today or tomorrow, but with this storm here in MA, who knows!!

Thank you!

Ah, yes, I realize that. My question is if anyone had any more information about the start date of the program being moved up and the prereq having to be finished in April instead of May. I'm going to call on Monday, but figured I'd see if anyone had any information here, first. :)

Edit: Oops, just saw the rest of your reply! I didn't realize my email truncated it. It's definitely starting May 4? Now I'm really worried. Even the online course ends May 7 or something. Eeeeeek. :crying2:

Thanks for the update, will definitely call on Monday. Good luck to you!

At the info session they said the acc. BSN program would start earlier this year than last, and it is scheduled to start on May the 4th. Any prerequisites would have to be completed by May 4th, so if your chem ends on May 8th, you would have to find a different course. They said they would make no exceptions, and I asked because I was in the same predicament you are in, but I ended up taking Chem this past fall because I was afraid I wouldn't find one that finished in time.

Sorry if that doesn't help, that is all the info I have! Congrats again!!!! :-)

I just found ouy i've been accepted as well...woohoo!! As for completing all the prereqs, i know they mentioned at the info session that not only do the prereqs need to be completed before the start of the program (may 4, or 5th i believe) MGH needs to have you TRANSCRIPT before classes begin. They said it would be tricky to have this done with a spring class, since transcripts aren't usually ready till several weeks after classes end. I took the chem prereq online at umass lowell which i think is a good option, but i would suggest contacting the school where you want to take chem class and ask when transcripts for the spring semester will be ready Hope this helps!!

Congrats on getting in! Looking forward to meeting you all in May!!
