MGH BSN 2012

Published

Hi all! Anyone else out there apply for the MGH Accelerated BSN class starting in January of 2012? I've read that some people who were waitlisted for the cohort starting this month were offered spots in the Jan 2012 class, so I'm wondering how many people were offered and accepted that option... hopefully that doesn't cut down on the spots available too significantly. But, I also wonder if not as many people were aware they opened up this new class, so maybe fewer applicants?? Or maybe that's just wishful thinking :)

Good luck to you too! Did you hear anything from them over the weekend?

Hi! Sorry I haven't been on a few days to reply. No, I didn't hear anything from them over the weekend. I did get an email on Tuesday, I think, that said that my application for Spring 2012 cohort was complete. I emailed back to ask about whether they were still using the May 1 deadline as the time from which they were counting the 8 to 10 week decision and they replied that "yes" we should hear within 8 to 10 weeks from May 1.

Here's hopin'!! Good luck!

Well, at least we know notification deadlines are going to stay the same. June 26th, I have it marked on my calender.

I still wonder if they're still accepting applications.

Hi, I just finished my first ACCEL semester at Curry and I love it. I think it is quite a bit cheaper than MGH, 38.5k vs. ?@MGH. You'll do your clinicals at the same hospitals, I'm starting at Beth Israel on Tue and the others are @ MGH. Then onto the Brigham and Children's for maternity and peds. So, good luck either way, but Curry is awesome!

Just wanted to join the thread! I am also waiting for a decision for the Jan 2012 cohort. I know applications decisions were made quickly, only 4 weeks for the may 2011 cohort. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Does anyone know if they are still accepting applications? I know that their site still says they are.

And they are still accepting applications. From what they've told me, they do not have a new deadline and it can close at anytime. I'm hoping it stays open for a lot longer :)

4 weeks? I hope that happens for this cohort. They're still accepting applications so that has to mean there are not too many applications to review.

At the same time, that can also mean that they're going to keep within the 8-10 week notification period since there are not too many applications to review.

How did you find out about the 4 weeks? It would be great to hear by then! Hopefully it will be sooner rather than later :)

Sorry, don't know where you got that info. We waited a LONG 2+ months for decisions for the May 2011 cohort. Good luck to you! I was waitlisted for the May cohort, so I'm WAITING again for the January cohort! :o

I'm thinking it might be closer to the 8 wks, just because there isn't Thanksgiving and the other winter holidays to take time up. Or at least I'm hoping ;)

AND we won't have snow storms to delay things even further!! (At least I hope not ~ you never know in New England!!:lol2:) So, we've almost made it to 4 weeks . . . only 4 more to go!:yeah:

Sabine - That's a good point! Also, assuming they have fewer applications than they expected, hopefully that will speed things up a little as well! Only 4.5 weeks to go if we're lucky!
