Wen

@bek72 Hello! My name is Wen and I'm in the Spring cohort as well. I just requested to join the FB group. I look forward to meeting you guys!

@Fnp1977 okay thanks! I heard in the Fall but I was curious. Do you know if the tuition needs to be paid prior to the program?

Hi guys. Congratulations to the ones who have been accepted and good luck with the students still trying! Do you know when should we be expecting the welcome packet through the mail?

@Quincy39 that’s great! But I was expecting UMB to give you some scholarships too perhaps the merit if your GPA is good. I’m excited to start in January. How are the online courses so far?

@Quincy39 hello! I will be starting the program in January and is wondering if you were qualified for the merit scholarship at UMB or any scholarships applied through the general application? Thanks!

@Quincy39 No problem! Thanks for responding with helpful information. I was looking forward to starting the program in Fall, but I guess Spring would work. I've been accepted to Northeastern and MCPHS for the Fall, but they cost way more than UMB. So does that mean we'll be completing a total of 240 clinical hours over 12 months? I know that the Northeaster program requires its students to complete a total of 432 clinical hours that focus on various patient populations. It's so hard to decide which program since they all seem great!

@Quincy39 Hey CONGRATS! I didn't submit my application via the UMB portal because I graduated from UMB, so I had to send the materials via email. I was informed by one of the admissions assistants that the Fall program was at full capacity. When did you apply? Also, did you attend the info session for the 12 months program? When I went, it was still the 16 months program. I tried to get more details on the program before I decide, but haven't heard back from anyone. Please let me know if you know anything about the clinical rotations, etc.

@1990Ashley Hey! I heard back today, I got accepted for the Spring semester instead of the Fall. Have you heard back?

@1990Ashley I called them and they said they’re still reviewing. The decision may come out very soon (a specific date wasn’t given). Have you heard anything?

@1990Ashley Not yet. I haven’t heard anything and is planning to call them today. The wait is killing me!

Hi everyone! I'm planning on applying to the UMass Boston accelerated nursing program in Fall 2020. I was wondering if anyone else here is applying. Also for those who have been accepted into the program (CONGRATULATIONS!), what was your GPA and TEAS score? Is anyone also applying to other accelerated nursing programs in Boston, MA? Any comments would be appreciated! Thank you.
