First question to think about (besides tuition and financial aid): Which place can you attend full time and still be able to work at least part time?

I don't mind you asking at all :). I got my BA in Sociology (with a minor in Biology). Long story short: I thought I wanted to be a doctor but after much soul searching realized nursing was a perfect fit for me, changed my major my junior year, finis...

I know how you feel... Any answer would feel great at this point!! >_ BTW if you don't mind me asking, do you have a previous degree from anywhere else?

Hi Maz, I also applied to Salem State's program. I checked my status online earlier this week and the message said that the final decisions go out to everyone in the middle of the month. I assume this means next week. I have a prior BA and would love...

Hey everyone!! I haven't seen any recent boards on looking, applying, or getting a job in a hospital. I myself have been looking to become a Unit Aide, Unit Secretary, or a Unit Coordinator at any hospital that is willing to take me. The problem lies...

Hi MGH99, No I never did (I did have three interviews at Boston area hospitals two of them at the same place), but I did get a job as a Medical Records Clerk at a mental health clinic in the same town I live in. So far I've been there for two months ...

When I submitted all of my paperwork it was as a transfer student and with a money order. They never want to reply to anyone. If I were you I would try to contact the Business/Bursar office and then talk to Admissions. I know the money doesn't stay w...

No problem!! I wish I could give you more advice but the only thing I can say to you is for you to look into Roxbury CC before the deadline passes. I was also rejected from UMass Boston (not once, but twice). As of right now I'm waiting to hear from ...

Hey Steph, Have you looked into Salem State or any accelerated programs? I know that MCPHS-Worcester's (accelerated between 14-16 months) fall 2012 deadline is for June 1st. I also know that RCC's fall dealine is March 15th and the last day to take t...

I already got my rejection letter last Monday. I had that feeling that I'd get rejected again; oh well at least I have other options... Good luck to those still in the running :)

I also forgot to mention that you can call them about 1.5 to 2 weeks after the deadline and ask about why your status hasn't changed. Back in November I did just that and the vague answers I got told me I was rejected before I even got the letter (ir...

It's so nice to know that I'm not alone in the waiting game!! I had applied to get in as a transfer for the spring 2012 semester and got my rejection letter about 2 weeks after the application deadline. I did reapply to this program again, but still ...

As far as I know there are some programs with waitlists. Quincy College (ADN) has a waitlist that carries over for about two years max. UMass Boston (BSN + RN-BSN) and MassBay (ADN) have waitlists but they are only for that one semester and if you ar...

CiaMia, I can understand how you feel about community colleges, but they really do save you a lot of money in the long run. I've been taking classes with one since I graduated from college in 2010 and I have no regrets. They are affordable and not al...

I doubt that taking Stats now will hold you back as a lot of programs either make it a mandatory part of their curriculum or don't require it at all. Stats is more necessary for BSN programs. Also, non-nursing and non-science classes can either be ta...

No prob :) and yes I got my BA in Sociology last year and have been taking nursing pre-reqs since graduation. I'm pretty much done with private schools and only want any cheap state school that will take me. I'm still wondering what got me rejected f...

Hey everyone!! I decided to start a thread for anyone who is/has applied to the UMass Boston traditional nursing program for the January 2012 start. I just submitted everything to the Admissions office in person today. A month of waiting to hear from...

LMH/Regis always has a big graduating class from their program. I know this because I went to Regis during my undergrad years. At my graduation in 2010, less than 90 students graduated from the BSN program, but over 150 graduated from the LMH/Regis p...

I'm sorry you had to find out on your bday (BTW: Happy Birthday!!!) Salem State is T accessible (about 2 or 3 buses go there plus the Purple Line and the school has a shuttle that will pick you up to take you to school). Salem is far for me too, but ...

I'm sorry and I know how you feel. I cried for hours (before and after a test I had to take that day) and had to start looking at other options. I do plan on reapplying again to their program, but this time I'm also looking into Salem State (even che...

I really don't know about you being able to transfer as a junior to any BSN programs here in Massachusetts. From what I know and have heard, its not very likely that it can happen as not many schools will accept nursing credits from other institution...

Hi Jaz, Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I have heard about the Chancellor's Scholarship but I think its more for students who don't have a college degree (first timers to school). I could never really find much info on it and I do know that...

I was wondering if anyone would know of the minimum GPA for an accepted student? Also, what exactly is the admissions process like?

I know its been about three years since anyone commented on this post, but I was wondering if anyone would know of the minimum GPA for an accepted student to Salem State? Also, what exactly is the admissions process like?

That's what I thought too, but at least I'm spared the pain later on... I just wish they had given more consideration to me and anyone else they had rejected so early (the letter was sent out since last Wednesday so it took them a little over a week ...
