I'm wondering if it's pretty pointless to even apply to the umb fnp program for fall 2012 if so many are on the waiting list?? (still applying and keeping my trembling fingers crossed) i'm also applying to hopkins for fall 2012, which is just if not more competitive..... and don't know of any other programs in the area besides coppin state good luck to those of you on the waiting list for spring/fall 2012!!
