Shady Grove is a suburban, commuter campus in Rockville, MD which is host to programs offered by nine different University System of Maryland institutions. For example, UMB offers the PharmD and graduate Social Work programs in addition to the Schoo...

Our RN to BSN program is for nurses who are already RNs but are associate degree or diploma nurses and want a BSN. The fall 2017 application will go up once the spring 2017 BSN applicants are processed. That should be sometime in November. The dea...

The 55 people in there are not all new students. Some are administrators and some are current students who like to mentor new ones.

Trust me, the admissions office is not doing this to you on purpose. The decision-making process was changed to involve more collaboration with faculty, the entire student services department, which includes admissions, has been without a director ...

There are many applicants still at Committee Ready and there are still seats to fill on both campuses.

You should contact admissions right away and ask if you need to retake the class to keep your seat.

1. Not all decisions have been made. 2. Accepted students have two weeks to accept our offer - unaccepted offers, once received, will trigger a review of the wait list and selection of applicants to receive offers of admission. 3. Usually somewh...

No, there is no rhyme or reason as there are many, many variables. As hard as it is to wait, that is the only thing you can do.

It won't be a problem if you miss the call. It is basically a courtesy call to congratulate and welcome you and discuss really basic info about orientation dates. You can find everything you need on the website under Accepted Students and do choose...

That's right - as long as your status is not Rejected, you are still in the running. As offers of admission are accepted, seats are filled. As offers of admission are turned down, seats open up and people are taken off the Wait List. This may go o...

I think you will have to ask someone in the admissions office to do that for you. I called the Help Desk and they told me that you will be able to edit your personal information after you are registered for classes. I did not know that.

You should be able to correct your phone number. Give it a try.

I will be setting up a secret Facebook group for your class fairly soon and will invite everyone in your class to join it. There will also be some current students who like to mentor new students in our group as well as Guided Study Session leaders....

Regardless of which campus you choose, you will end up doing the same total amount of lecture and clinical hours but they are not scheduled the same days and times.

Me too! It's one of my favorite things to do.

I would not think that the total number of acceptances affects how long the admissions process takes - the the total number of applicants and how long it takes to get all the supporting paperwork does indeed affect it.

There are LOTS of applicants at Complete and Ready for Review status. It really does not mean anything to applicants.

It means that all your application materials are in order - you are not missing anything - and that you are set up to be voted on by the admissions committee. The next status change will be Provisional Admit - which means you are admitted but have p...

It takes a while to change all the statuses. They may or may not get done today so don't stress that you are not getting in - it's way too early. As long as your status is not Rejected your application is still alive and will be for some time. It ...

I am so sorry it is taking so long. Believe me, the folks in admissions want the process to go faster themselves. They are not sitting on the decision announcements to torture you, I promise. There are so many variables which impact how fast deci...

Our applicant numbers are about the same. Numbers for spring semester are normally less than for fall but not significantly so. I could not find this thread until very recently as I was looking in the Maryland folder under "US" which is where they ...

Whatever admissions tells you is where we stand. It's a big job with many variables and, basically, decisions are announced as quickly as possible. Applicants are reviewed without regard to requested campus. As to when you will find out - the proc...

The RN to BSN program and admissions process is ENTIRELY different from the BSN. One does not affect the other in any way.

Clinical Registration last week was only for second, third and fourth semester students. First semester students do not register for clinicals until after school starts. An email went to first semester students which was in error.

That is a question for the admissions office. I think there is a limit on how many times you can be Wait Listed but am not at all sure how that works.
