I was accepted too :).... congrats to everyone!!!

Ugh, I know I thought it was just because I am out of state but who knows now. Tomorrow is going to be another loooong day at work, even if the mail comes early I won't know until after 5.

silentacro, I'm in the same boat as you, no letter yet... hopefully we'll hear tomorrow!

Congrats to everyone that got in!!! Ahh I won't be home to check my mail for another 3 hours, this afternoon is going to go by sooooo slow! I live out of state though so it probably won't be here yet

Lol, I was hoping someone on here had called :).... I reallllly hope we hear next week!!

Anyone heard anything? I almost called the admissions office today but didn't want to bug them... they're probably getting tons of calls!

Hmm well I like those responses a lot better! :) I'm getting nervous!

Well, I was hopeful that we'd be hearing sooner rather than later, buuuut I got an email today back from someone in the admissions office - she said they extended the deadline to July 1st, and would therefore be extending the review process as well . She didn't say how long they'd be extending it for, so maybe (hopefully!) it won't be a full 8-10 weeks from July 1st, but I guess potentially it could be September before we know. The suspense is killing me!!

Sabine - That's a good point! Also, assuming they have fewer applications than they expected, hopefully that will speed things up a little as well! Only 4.5 weeks to go if we're lucky!

I also applied to a direct entry MSN program in Ohio, and was waitlisted. I've been told there is generally only one person on the wait list for each specialty, but it could be as late as mid summer before I know. From what I've read on this site, it seems like MGH accepts anywhere from 85-95 people for the ABSN program. I'd love to know how many applied for January! The only information I've read about Curry's program has been on this website, but it seems to be well respected. I'm sure no matter which program you end up in you'll have a good experience :)

Good luck to you too! Did you hear anything from them over the weekend?

I wonder if there's still a possibility they think someone just won't show up Monday and they'll offer you a spot?? That would be awesome, although I don't know how realistic it is to think you would be able to drop everything and start Monday. Seems like the type of thing you might have to plan just a little for Hmm I'm glad you pointed that out about the deadline, I don't think I would have noticed that! I honestly wouldn't be surprised if people are just not aware they are starting a new cohort. I'm thinking most people who applied for this May and did not get in wouldn't have any reason to go back to the MGHIHP website until they were starting to apply again for next Nov. The fact that they are still accepting apps really makes me think that they didn't get as many applicants as they were expecting, which hopefully is a really good thing for us. But on the other hand I REALLY hope they still let those of us who applied before original deadline know in July instead of dragging it out! I called the admissions office yesterday (I received an email that they received all my app materials, but when I log in to the VIP area on their website it says they don't have my recommendations) but anyway I asked about their timeframe for letting people know and was told it probably would still be 8-10 weeks. He didn't mention the extended deadline at all. I didn't really expect a concrete answer but figured I'd ask anyway. Good luck to everyone

Hi all! Anyone else out there apply for the MGH Accelerated BSN class starting in January of 2012? I've read that some people who were waitlisted for the cohort starting this month were offered spots in the Jan 2012 class, so I'm wondering how many people were offered and accepted that option... hopefully that doesn't cut down on the spots available too significantly. But, I also wonder if not as many people were aware they opened up this new class, so maybe fewer applicants?? Or maybe that's just wishful thinking :)
