UMDNJ Accelerated BSN Stratford Summer 2010?

Students Pre-Nursing

Published

Anyone heard back from either the Newark or Stratford campus regarding their application for Summer 2010?

I'm doing my best to get a decision from the admission people ASAP so I don't have to reserve a seat for or TJ for the fall, which is 500$. Anyone have any idea how long it takes for them to respond?

I'm still waiting for my response too. They said mid to end of February I should get a response but who knows.

I actually finally got in touch with someone from Newark about the status of my application yesterday. I thought I had everything in and was up for review right away, however I didn't send in a transcript from a community college with one class grade. Subsequently, my application packet has been sitting there for weeks and not been put under review because of that one grade, which was on my 4yr university transcript as complete and TC (transfer credits). Basically, if you are missing anything, or not all of your classes have been totally completed, your application will just sit in a pile with the rest. I should be hearing from them as soon as that transcript gets there, or so I'm told, so I'll let you know as soon as I hear.

Hi Guys,

I want to apply to UMDNJ for the ABSN as well.

Do you guys know what the difference is between the two campuses?:confused:

I want to start either in the summer or fall 2010 but is it too late to apply for the summer and do both campuses accept students into summer and fall?

THanks for all your help . Please reply.

The two campuses offer the same curriculum and classes, however clinical sites will be different. I've read that the Newark campus is more competitive, but don't know if there is any truth to that. It could very well be the case since Newark is closer to NYC, thus there could be more applicants and a stronger pool. Also, Stratford only offers Summer and Spring terms, and Newark offers Summer, Fall, and Spring.

It isn't too late to apply for either the summer or fall term. Check the website to verify those dates.

Thank you so much for all the information. It was great information.

I'm from IL so I had no idea what the differences were between the campuses.

- Now do you know if we can apply for Stratford in the summer and if you don't get in reapply for Newark in the fall?

The same application committee reviews applications for both campuses. If you don't meet the criteria for Stratford in the Summer, why would you meet the criteria for Newark in the Fall? I'm sure you can re apply, but I don't see why you would get a different decision, especially since the Fall gets more applicants and is tougher to get into.

Hi,

I said that because if the class is already almost full then obviously my chances are slim since I'm applying pretty late in the game

I would love to get in.

Thanks :)
