This is a new thread for anyone that has applied to the Mount St. Mary's College Accelerated BSN program in Los Angeles for 2010 entry.
This is my second application for admission since I wasn't offered admission for Fall 2009. Did anyone hear anything back yet for Spring 2010? Is there an interview process? I have read conflicting information on this topic. I also applied to Samuel Merritt in the Bay Area (also turned down twice to 2 programs for Fall 2009 entry). They wont be sending out admission offers until February for March start dates!! Would love to hear from fellow nursing school hopefuls )
I had my reactivation meeting yesterday. I'm now applying for Fall 2010 cohort. Sounds like a better plan for me now in the long run. A little more time to get my finances in order. Now that I have all my prereqs done, the advisor told me that I'm a strong candidate! Turns out that the reactivated applicants are viewed separately than the regular applicants. Could be a good thing in this case.
I'm glad you were able to have the meeting already. I was a reactivation applicant myself so I was able to get in the second time I applied. If I'm not mistaken, I believe Betsy also reapplied and she got in the second time also!
In the end, I'm also grateful I'm starting this cohort because a lot of family issues sprung up within the year and could have cost me my grades if I got accepted the first time around. But like I always say, everything happens for a reason :)

Sugar Lips, Good for your for already reactivating your application. I think you will end up being one of the first interviews next time around.
I applied for the Fall 2009 cohort but didn't get in b/c I had classes still in progress. But I kind of didn't expect to get in that time and hoped it would help my application the second time around, which it could have b/c I ended up getting in this time. And it worked out perfect b/c it gave me some time to relax the brain before beginning such a rigorous program )
I am positive we will be meeting you in the fall!! Keep us posted!!
I too have been accepted into the Summer cohort, to begin in May. I was wondering if anyone got a response as to the Med-Surg/Pathophysiology book, which was recommended? I'd love to get a jump on that if anyone guide me on the right direction.
Hi All! I am currently working on reactivating my application for Fall 2010. Is it necessary to schedule a "reactivation meeting"? I'm not sure how this works. Any insight would be much appreciated...
I don't know if it's necessary per se, but I would guess that it's probably helpful. From what I understand from those who have had reactivation meetings, you can find out what aspects of your application need to be strengthened. I would think too that it shows the school that you are enthusiastic and dedicated towards reactivating your application.
Have you tried calling the admissions office? I called them when my status changed to accepted just to make sure it meant what I thought it did, as I hadn't received a letter in the mail yet. They might be able to give you an idea as to what's going on with your status. good luck!
I've called and spoke to them, but they directed me to a person with the name J*****. I was told she would be the main person who can let me know about my status. I can't get a hold of her. She's either at a meeting or out of the office or out for the day. I have left many messages and I also emailed her last week, and she still hasn't replied. I checked my status again today and it still hasn't changed. I'm going to call again tomorrow. I hope I can get a hold of this person tomorrow.
Well I eventually got a hold of this person today and I was denied. I actually feel much better now that I know my status. Now I can move on and figure out my next step into getting into this program in the Fall.
