Hello! I applied as well. What did you apply for?
Hi Sav768, I applied for the Acute Care track, you?
I applied for neonatal! I am a little worried about one of my transcripts arriving in time. I was confused because I uploaded them in my application but I also think we need to send them! Hopefully it all works out! Do you know when we are supposed to hear back?
Yeah i had a transcript issue too. Apparently my transcripts were too unofficial, so I had to order official transcripts, scan them and email them in order to complete the application. But i was told they only needed the official, sealed transcripts when you get accepted into the program. From what i read here, some people heard back in February or something. They call you to set up interviews then in March some people received acceptance calls. It's a long process unfortunately.
Ah good to know! I was stressed bc I only discovered the program recently so I didn't have time to get transcripts mailed in time! But that makes me feel better thanks! Is this your first choice?
No problem! :) Well actually it's my only choice, because i haven't taken the GRE's and I'm not done will all the pre-reqs, so for a direct entry msn, that was my only option (in the Boston area obviously). If i don't get accepted i'll probably go for an Accel BSN then go for the masters separately.
Ah wow! I didn't take the gre either. I applied for a few accelerated as well, so we shall see!
Yes, i was interested in the MGH Direct-entry MSN program, but they require the GREs . Oh that's nice, i should've done the same. What's your first choice?
I don't have one yet! It depends on a lot of factors I guess, especially financial costs!

Hi!
I also thought the unofficial transcripts would be accepted during the admission time. I sent my official transcripts in using express mail and for some reason, they have not updated my application as complete. So i called and they said they did not receive my transcripts but I have the tracking number and it is confirmed that it has arrived there. ugh.I hope they did not lose it or anything.
what email address did you send your official transcripts to?
