I got my acceptance letter today, so now I can share :) I am actually going to PA school! I was accepted at AACC for the class of 2012. I decided a few months ago that PA was more appealing to me so I went for it! I'm so excited!! Good luck to everyone!!!!

For fear of jinxing myself, I won't answer yet, but hopefully I can share that by the end of this week!

Got the call this afternoon! I'm in CNL. I'm likely not going to be attending, but I'm glad to have my answer. Good luck to everyone!!

My other options are looking very, very good right about now

:angryfire:angryfire:angryfire:angryfire:angryfire:angryfire:angryfire

I just got back from a de-stressing run myself. It really does help! I think at this point we are going to have to hope something comes in the mail this week.

I am a CNL applicant and I did not get a call either. If it went in alphabetical order, I would have been called by now Also if it went in order of application date, I think I would have received a call today too. So, either those theories are both wrong, or I am not in My status still says "Committee Ready" too.

Aren't students already registering for classes?

Hi southernliving, where are you in Clarksville? I am in River Hill. That would be great if we got in and could start a study group, and possibly carpool too! I have something else in the works at the moment and I'm hoping that is going to work out, and at this point I'm glad because UM has turned me off with this application process! But if I end up at UM, I'll be in touch! Good luck! :)

LOL!! That put a smile on my face. Yes, we thirty-somethings are just about dead, huh? I sense quite a bit of anger JumpforJune. Clearly you don't think that someone would go to nursing school just to add some excitement to their otherwise boring life. Nursing school is not something to be taken lightly, and it is an honor and something that must be earned through very hard work and dedication. If I am bored, I will take up a much easier hobby. Anyway, good luck to you in your career and when you are our age, you will look back and realize how immature everything you said was. Good luck to all in this waiting game!

Will do. Thanks for the advice. I will just wait until that day, and if necessary I will drive my deposit over to them and take my chances! Good luck everyone and have a great weekend!

Thank you, Grey Lady. I am really hoping to hear prior to Nov. 1st since I have to give a deposit to another program by 10/30! UM is my first choice, so I am holding out as long as possible. Would it help at all for me to contact someone to find out if a decision on my application could be made prior to that date? Of course, I don't want to irritate anyone!! :) Thanks!

It was in statistics. She's retaking it right now. I think they require a B in every prerequisite. Good luck!

A friend of mine was accepted for fall 2009 but got a C in one of her classes and they told her she had to repeat it and get a B or she would lose her spot. She decided instead of taking it over the summer, to take it in the fall and deferred for spring 2010.

My undergrad (dietetics) from UMCP was 3.3 and my prereq gpa was 4.0. My application was in as of July and went to "Committee Ready" some time in early Sept. Good luck to all! This wait has been LOOOONGGG!!!:anbd:

Thanks for that link. I agree, the new SON website does look really good! Much better. My status is still the same "Committee Ready" and has been that way for a long time now. The waiting is killing me! I received my acceptance letter for HCC's accelerated ADN program and the deposit is due by 10/30, so I hope we hear soon too! UM is my first choice.

Yes, thanks for clarifying Grey Lady. I am going because I am interested in eventually doing the NP or CRNA program.

Heather, This Thursday from 4-6pm there is an open house in Baltimore. To attend sessions at the Baltimore Campus, reserve your space by calling 410-706-0562, or sending an e-mail to [email protected]. Please include the following information: Name E-mail Area of Interest Entry into Practice (Traditional BSN and MS - Clinical Nurse Leader) RN-BSN/MS or Graduate Programs (indicate specialty or degree program) I'm attending!

Thanks for the warning! It is a little disheartening to hear that there are CNL students who are not happy in the program right now. I personally decided to go this route since I would prefer to knock it out in 16 months and I already have a bachelors. I knew I wasn't going to come out of it being in a manager! I am surprised people would think that. For me the decision to apply for the CNL program was an easy one, but you are kind to warn applicants in case they might be confused about the degree. I have aspirations to continue on for a post-masters, so that is another reason this choice seemed right for me.

I would love them and could meet you today or tomorrow. Please let me know if you still have them and I will call you to set up a time to meet! Thanks!

Mine says: Application Status: Complete Ready for Review Decision: Committee Ready

I mailed mine in some time in June, but my transcript from my summer courses wasn't received until late July. I think my application was considered complete as of then. :anbd:

RosesArePink- it will say "Committee Ready" in the decision column eventually. Mine says that now, but for a while it only said "Complete and Ready for Review." Don't worry, you are fine! Good luck!!!

I applied to the CNL program.

Yes, I got that too. I seriously doubt it will be that long. I think they tell everyone that just so they can take longer if they need it. I am seriously hoping I will hear by October at the latest! UGH :anbd:
