I agree with SnMrsSmiley. Our school doesn't require it for admission, but we just took it yesterday during orientation to identify our weak areas before classes begin. I didn't study at all and got a 91%. Most of the questions are pretty straightfor...

Hi ktardalo! Congratulations on your acceptances. I think this thread would be very helpful to you - https://allnurses.com/nj-nursing-programs/umdnj-accelerated-bsn-205757.html - it has applicants and graduates from 2007 to the present and has lots o...

BSN to be, if you (or anyone else) want to start a facebook page, you should contact Lynn McFarlane, the Director of Marketing and Communications for UMDNJ-SN. ( https://allnurses.com/nj-nursing-programs/umdnj-accelerated-bsn-205757-page13.html#post4...

coolbsn, we don't have to register individually for classes in the ABSN program, since we are block scheduled by the school. I don't think there's a hard deadline for the financial aid packet, but I would finish it ASAP. Congrats on your second acce...

Hi JustFiguringItOut! My undergraduate GPA (after being calculated by NursingCAS) was 3.76. I received A's in all my prerequisites. UMDNJ has it's own standard for GPAs, both undergraduate and prerequisite, so I wouldn't worry about it as long as you...

coolbsn, if you go to http://www.umdnj.edu/studentfinancialaid/index_new_brow.htm , it will have the general information you need about applying for financial aid. Going to "Application Process" and then "Apply for Financial Aid" takes you through a ...

TheDreamJourney, I just got off the phone with financial aid. She said we would technically be in the 2012-2013 year. But if you've noticed, on the authorization form there are two places to identify your class year - at the top of the form there are...

TheDreamJourney, thanks for the info! I was not aware that it mattered where we signed our tax copies - good to know! As for the authorization form, I too was under the impression that we were in the 2012-2013 class year, but now that you say that y...

BSN to be, you're saying that you had to send additional material (letter from the dean of your school) to UMDNJ. Did they confirm that they received this letter after you sent it and then told you it would take 2 weeks? I would not worry about the e...

TheDreamJourney, what do you mean by appropriate box on your taxes? Is there a certain space on your actual tax copy that you have to sign, or are you talking about the UMDNJ financial aid authorization form? I just got all my copies today so I don't...

BSN to be, if you have already been told that they have received all your information, then I wouldn't call. Calling them just because you're anxious doesn't make them go any faster or make you feel any better - and they probably hate getting the "Ha...

BSN to be, I don't think anyone but Enrollment Services could fully answer your question, because we as applicants or students don't know every single person that has applied and been accepted/rejected or their situation. I've seen in threads where p...

BSN to be, it was $300 for the tuition deposit and $85 for a criminal background check fee.

TheDreamJourney, I've also read on past UMDNJ threads that we take a TEAS exam as part of orientation. I don't think we have to register for it, I think that it's just part of orientation for everyone. From what I understand, it is only given to give...

coolbsn, the second packet contains a an information sheet that tells you how to set up your online accounts with UMDNJ, when orientation for your campus is, and the curriculum that you'll be following. Since we are in the accelerated BSN program, al...

Yay, congrats TheDreamJourney! I guess we'll be meeting each other at orientation! It will December 1st for Newark. So exciting! Just got my second packet in the mail on Friday...but they left out one of the letters on my name! I had to call enrollm...

Not true, this is also my first time applying, and I applied for the Spring semester.

BSN to be, I think it's the same response that everyone gets. I also got an e-mail saying the decision wouldn't be available until the end of October, even though I ended up getting my acceptance letter at the end of September. I wouldn't take it to ...

BSN to be, my acceptance letter came in a larger manilla envelope. It was a packet of information, including some forms to be sent back to Enrollment Services.

BSN to be, I'll be attending the Newark campus. I'm not sure exactly how many seats are available or filled. I had to call enrollment services yesterday to make sure they received my tuition and criminal background check deposit...I sent it over a w...

Hi BSN to be! My undergrad GPA was 3.76 according to the NursingCAS calculations. I got my BA from the University of Cincinnati in Ohio.

Yay, congrats nurse2013! :)

Congrats! I'm in the same boat as you, I'll be starting an ABSN program in January! I'm planning a lot of fun stuff to do in the meantime, some relaxing, some sleeping in, and definitely some review of A&P and dimensional analysis. Do you have a ...

Definitely leaning towards neuroscience nursing or maybe psych...my first BA is in Biopsychology, so that's where my interests are. I'm starting school in January, so I might change my mind after some experience in clinicals. But it is fun to think a...

Chemistry, hands-down. I took it at a community college last year as a prerequisite for an accelerated second degree BSN program. I'm a straight-A student and I got the only C I've ever gotten in my life in that class. It was such a bummer! I got an...
