i got in today!!!!

has anyone gotten a letter? I still haven't gotten one... hopefully the mail is just being slow.

No i dont work for UAMS but I know someone who has been a nurse there for 20 years and gives me some of the inside scoop. She told me that she heard the cut off was a 2.9 this year, who knows if that's really true. But she also said it's up to the dean how many more students they want to take during the second round, so they could take 20 more or 50 more. No one really knows. But i do know for a fact that the cut off for first round was a 3.1 hope this helps yall. I applied at UALR just a few days ago so I could have a back up plan. I have a little bit over a 3.00 so im really nervous at this point!

I heard they are still working on the second round and the letters may not be mailed until Friday. What is your GPA? Im just trying to see how many people are in the same boat I am. And yes there is only 2 rounds.

Anyone get a letter today? I heard from a very reliable source that they sent out 3.1 GPA and higher. But i dont understand what the whole "rounds" thing means? Do they send out all 200 spots at first or send out only 100 in the first round and the next 100 in the second round? does anybody know?

yeah im hoping its just the mail. I dont think they will take a 2.5 this year...unless a lot of people dont accept or hold their seat. There is just no way 466 people had all the 64 hours of pre-recs so thats also cut down a lot of applicants. Keeping my fingers crossed until the mail comes monday!

haha no...sadly i have a little over a 3.0 so im worried that im going to be one of the people where it comes down to the wire. My friend just called me and she got her letter and got in. She only has a 3.1 so im kinda freaking out. Do yall know if they do it in rounds? Like wait and see who accepts and then fill in spots from there?

What was her GPA?

has anyone heard anything or gotten in?

At this point im thinking anything below a 3.0 isnt going to be good enough. I wish they would just let us know already, all this waiting is making me super nervous! Im going to apply to UALR too just to be sure.

Im not sure....Rumor is that 466 people applied for 192 spots. So im a little scared now. I just want to know the lowest GPA they took this year.

Has anyone heard anything more about the applications? I heard they had over 450 people apply for the BSN program this year, making it really competitive. Just wondering if anyone has gotten accepted yet or heard anything??
