I was offered a spot in UMass Boston's ABSN program today! I was #9 on the wait list.

There's still hope for those on the wait list...I was shocked to receive an e-mail today offering me a spot! I was #9 on the wait list. I e-mailed the Admissions Coordinator a couple of weeks ago and she told me my chances were slim of being accepted. Great news but my head is spinning!

Thanks ahm24! For anyone on the MGH Institute wait list, I'll be giving up my spot at MGHIHP if I'm accepted to UMB. Hopefully, it'll all get worked out soon :).

Good idea! I'm on the wait list at UMass Boston's ABSN program. I haven't heard if anyone on the wait list has been offered a spot yet.

I sent the Accelerated Nursing Option Coordinator a message inquiring on my application status and she replied back with the update.

Waitlisted! Here's the e-mail I received today..."An official letter (accepted waitlisted or denied) is mailed to each applicant's home by the end of March or sooner but I can tell you that you have been waitlisted at this time.

I had my interview last Tuesday 3/6 but still no e-mail/no letter...

I was surprised to get a phone call yesterday for an interview. I'm going on Tuesday 3/6...it's not over yet!

Yes. I quit my corporate job to pursue nursing. I've been working as a CNA since Sept 2011 and volunteering at MGH since June 2011. I hoped these experiences would be relevant to my application so I included my resume.

yesterday i received the following e-mail message from the admissions coordinator "the final review of all applicants is feb 29th and all applicants will be notified by march 15th or sooner". i had applied early but didn't move forward in january's early decision round so my application is being considered in this last review. as additional background...i'm a umass boston alum with a b.a. in polisci (3.3 gpa), m.a. in international affairs (3.3 gpa) and a 3.98 gpa in my prereqs. i've been accepted into other absn programs (mghihp and simmons) as well as the direct entry masters program at regis. i'd like to attend umb since it's the least expensive option (hope to use the savings to later pursue a msn). it's frustrating that my alma mater may not be offering me a spot...guess it's not meant to be!

A $500 deposit is due Feb 6th.

The wait is torture...hang in there! As far as stats go...I have a B.A. in PoliSci (GPA 3.3) and M.A. in Int'l Affairs (GPA 3.3). My prereqs GPA is 3.98. I worked in Supply Chain Management for global cos. and have also been a small business owner. Over the last few months I quit my corporate job to work as a CNA in a LTAC facility. I also volunteered at MGH. I wanted to make sure that this was the right move before starting an intensive (and costly) nursing program.

I'm in!

I live on the South Shore (near Boston) and haven't received anything. Yikes...this is a real nail biter!

I've also applied. According to their website, we'll receive notification 8-10 weeks from the Nov 1st application deadline. Good luck!
