MSU Accelerated Nursing

Published

I applied to the upcoming may 2018 cohort for the accelerated nursing program at Michigan state. I'm waiting to hear back from admissions and am getting anxious. I have a 3.5 overall Gpa and 3.3 prereq gpa. Wondering if anyone else has gotten accepted yet to this cohort or what past admitted applicants credentials are.

I am on the waitlist....anybody else?

What cohort did you get in? I'm East Lansing.

Anyone worried about how the Nassar scandal might affect the school? State was my top choice but between Nassar and them delaying sending out acceptances...

Now that the March 16 deadline for accepting admission has passed......has anyone declined their admission? I am on the waitlist so am interested if there is any possibility of still gaining admission. Thanks!

I accepted my admission. You might be able to ask State where you are on the waiting list. They accept people off the waitlist until orientation. I wouldn't give up hope yet as people may give up their seats in the program between now and then and people ahead of you on the waitlist might decline.

How are you all doing on your compliance? I only need 1 vaccine and I'm getting it done this week so I was just taking a closer look at the vaccine form and noticed that we need titers for MMR, chickenpox, and Hep B. The Hep B is suppose to be done between 28 days and 2 months after you've received the last vaccine and has to be positive. I had my Hep B series when I was a baby and I probably didn't have a titer done. I'm very stressed out because if they won't accept a titer now or if my titer is negative, I probably won't have enough time to be compliant by the May 1st deadline. I didn't think my immunizations would be an issue as I knew I was up to date on everything but the 1 vaccine. I'm going to call and clarify but I'm freaking out a little in the meantime.

Is anyone else in the same boat?

Anybody on the wait list get in? Currently on it but haven't heard anything. They said they can take people all the way up until orientation though...

Hi Nursey,

We just had our first orientation.

(There are two: Apr. 5th & May 10th)

Last year I was on the waitlist & was told the same thing as you regarding accepting people off the waitlist up until classes start. I postponed other plans as a result.

Here is what I know about the current status of the cohort due to what we were told at orientation. Both the East Lansing & Detroit cohorts are currently full. Now, that doesn't mean that everybody will necessarily end up attending, because finances may become an issue, family things come up, waitlists at other schools could open and people could drop their MSU spot for a spot at another school etc... But, as it stands, I think they are done pulling from the waitlist, and will only start pulling again if people forfeit their seat (which, as I mentioned, could happen).

Thanks Kat. That is pretty much what they told me. Wouldn't tell me where I was at on the waiting list unfortunately though... So just keeping fingers crossed something opens up by May 10th!

No problem, I wish I had somebody in the cohort last year to give me updates.

Last year I was #9 on the 20 person waitlist for East Lansing, & I never made it in. They aren't supposed to tell you where you are, but somebody in the office made a slip-up and told me. Now, that is just the Rast Lansing waitlist, because last year they separated the Detroit waitlist from EL. This year is all together, so that could work to your advantage.

I was told that in they normally run through the waitlist quickly & literally offer almost every last person on it a seat, but every now & then - like last year, in my case - they don't hardly make a dent.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Hello everyone. Just curious, Anyone on the waiting list end up getting in? I was put on the waiting list and told that most years the entire waiting list ends up getting a chance to enroll the program but I never heard anything unfortunately. Best of luck to all of you that got into the program and hope that all is going well. Thanks
