MGH ABSN 2011

Published

does anyone have any info about when we should be hearing back from admissions?

For everyone that has heard decisions, you all are in the ABSN, not direct-entry MSN program, correct?

Hi everyone,

I'm new to this thread. I also got accepted into the program as a second-time applicant and I am over the moon with joy!! Congrats Walshle28 and Formyle :o), we are officially classmates. Nikki164, I am in the ABSN program. Did you apply or are you looking into applying in the future?

Does anyone have any idea when the program actually starts?? I am praying for everyone else who have not heard anything yet :o)

Yea, I heard from the ABSN program.

Baby.Catcher, According to the website, the program starts in May, but it doesn't give an exact date.

I applied to the direct entry MSN program.. not ABSN. The application deadline was 1/10, but I had my application submitted in November, so I'm waiting patiently.. I'm just sooo anxious!

May 16th... that's just around the corner!!! I can't believe they provided next to no information with the acceptance letter. Now I have to start thinking about finances and what to do next. I haven't heard from my 2 other schools yet, but am pretty sure this is going to be my top choice. Ready to send in my deposit soon!!

For the two other people, are you still waiting to hear from other schools or are you going to just send in your deposits??? I totally forgot how the FAFSA process works! As soon as we finish our FAFSA, when will we get aid?? I remember from college that we didn't get aid until over the summer; and by then, our sessions have already begun. Someone please fill me in.

Nikki164, I know how you feel. Hang in there!!! Good news will come soon. :)

Hi nurse916,

I graduated Spring 2010 with a 3.48 GPA in Psychology/Neuroscience from U. of Mass. Amherst. My grades for my prerequisite classes were actually not too high, perhaps 3.3. But I think I had really strong recommendations: 1 from my lab PI(principal investigator), 1 from a professor that I had also been a teaching asst. for, and 1 from my manager at a hospitality job. I am fresh out of college, so I had barely any healthcare experience, only volunteer experience here and there. This was actually my second-time applying to MGHI--last year I was waitlisted--so I had updated my personal statement as well. Hope this helps! Did you apply other schools as well?

Congratulations everyone! I too recieved my letter of acceptance as a first time applicant. I am so excited to start in May! I will be sending in my deposit next week once I obtain my last transcript.

Already sent in my FASFA(had to do two, one for 2010/2011 and one for 2011/2012 since the program starts in May and runs through next year) and I am holding my breath to see what kind of aid I can receive since this is a second bachelors!

Looking forward to "meeting" fellow classmates on this board!

Personal stats for those who asked:

BA with 3.37 GPA in Communications and Media studies 09'

Pre-Req GPA of 3.7

1 1/2 years of health care experience with direct patient care

3 very generous letters of recommendation from nurses that I work with

Thank you for posting your stats babycatcher and nursehopeful! I hope I receive a letter soon. I live on the west coast so that may be why I haven't received anything in the mail yet. Babycatcher, yes I applied to Stonybrook, some schools in CA, and Jacksonville. I got into Bellarmine, KY but waiting to see if I get in anywhere else. I'm constantly on this site to look for updates. The wait is killing me! lol Congrats again!
