moonwisper come talk to people at the open houses, you should receive much more satisfactory answers - there are current and former students and we all are very honest and open with people about our own backgrounds/experiences etc. From personal experience, I can say that for UMSON it is not just about the GPA or the NET or whatever - it is the WHOLE packaged person that is looked at in the process. They are looking for applicants that are well rounded and will be the most amazing nurses - and they are good at selecting them IMHO/E - and i say this not so much as an alumnae but as someone that has worked with these students on the floor, from comments i have been told by very experienced nurses and by people that have been cared for by UMSON students/graduates. To everyone else here still awaiting an answer - I remember three years ago being in your shoes - the time will pass as hard as it seems right now - just breathe deeply and think of the projects that you'll need to get done before starting school and start them now to help distract you until you hear! best of luck to all of you!

Best of luck in job hunting for those that received less then wanted news today and congrats to itrust on her interview request. I received an email today asking for the completed application package to be delivered to G-town to be reviewed before they made the decision upon whom to interview. I thought that the package was the next step, but maybe not?

She is amazing in many ways as you will learn if admited and you accept. :)

[quote=meowbark;7518996 from perusing the other topics on umson, i gather that user "Grey Lady" is a staff member involved with admissions for the shady grove campus. i found the following in the "UMSON Spring 2013" forum, pg. 2. she is not involved in admissions, she just knows the process!

some programs do allow you to do your BSN and then your midwifery degree all together while most schools require you to have your BSN before applying for the midwifery degree.

Many of the companies have guarantees - not just Hurst.

I am sorry Ninotan - I am about to graduate from UMB-SON, but I can tell you that the first time I applied I too was rejected. I knew I was competitive, so I re-wrote and re-wrote my essay until it was the best that I could do, reapplied and was accepted in the first round. I cannot tell people enough when I do open houses etc how important that essay is. best of luck with whatever you decide to do.

In my area (DC metro) is is very hard for ADNs to get jobs, many of the hospitals will not even consider them so BSN is the way to go. Plus it is a shorter amount time of time overall in school and if you want to go on to an advanced degree, you first need a BSN.

As a student at UMSON I can tell you that if you under 3.0 chances are, you will not get in. Montgomery College is pretty much the same way. Not sure about FCC or Howard, but it seems that MD overall is very competitive state when it comes to nursing school acceptances. Could you re-take any of your pre-reqs to get your grades up and then reapply? How was your TEAS score?

I love my Danskos! I had nursemates and they were killing my feet halfway though the med-surg rotation. My danskos have been a dream!

Most schools in our area (DC metro) Universities and Community Colleges will not even look at a student with a pre-req GPA under 3.0 - and usually they want higher at least 3.4 and above. If you "C"s were in science classes, you'll want at least a B in them to be considered, so you'll prob want to re-take them before applying. Good luck with it all - it is a hard road to get into nursing school for many of us and there are trying times while IN school but it is worth it!
