They automatically award it. I was shocked because I thought the $7000 was a one time thing, but it turns out it's every semester! I can't say much about the program because I haven't started yet, but I was very impressed at orientation. The faculty ...

I was already accepted and waiting to decide. I had originally planned to defer and wait to hear from UMich but I got impatient and didn't have any realistic idea about what my chances were like on the waitlist. My main issue was cost anyways...UDM's...

Thanks for the financial info. I decided to do UDM for sure. With the grants I got for my transfer GPA, I think it actually works out to be less expensive than UMich. I hope you all get good news soon!

I wish I could get an idea...maybe I'd feel a bit better about choosing such an expensive program if the difference isn't that great!

I think I may cut my losses and head to U of D Mercy in a few weeks. I really wanted U of M, but if I don't get in off the waitlist I'll have to wait until January to start in U of D Mercy's winter cohort. I've heard good and bad things about both pr...

If it's helpful to anyone, I found out about my waitlist status via email. My wolverine access account actually didn't change until over 24 hours later.

I was hoping that I might hear something about my waitlist status, as I have to put down a $500 non-refundable deposit to U of D Mercy by Thursday, but I haven't heard anything. I know that would be really soon to hear though as far as the waitlist ...

Another question on the subject of vaccinations - what about medical exceptions? I am starting nursing school this fall and I have been wondering about this. I was recently ill with both a virus and a serious bacterial infection. It took me about two...

I don't want to give exact stats, but I had around a 3.7 for my undergrad (which was a general science/health B.S) and around a 3.5 average in the pre-reqs. The average of my science pre-reqs may have been a bit lower, around a 3.3. All of the classe...

Hi! I thought it might be nice to have a thread for those applying to the UDM Second Degree program for the May 2012 start. I'm wondering if anyone has heard back yet. My app was only final the beginning of January, so I'm not sure if it's time to st...

It just says "complete" by my supplemental app as well, so I'm guessing that doesn't change. Hope everyone gets good news soon! :)

Students that eventually got in? Any idea about when they heard? I am also interested in hearing what a typical week looks like. Thanks for coming on to share!

Yup, UDM will allow you to push back your admission one time. I seriously considered starting in May, because I feel that the chances of getting accepted off the wait list are likely pretty low. But now, with all of these program changes, I'm not so ...

I've decided to defer my start at U of D Mercy to January in case I get in off of the waitlist. Perhaps if less people applied I'll have a better chance? I hope so, this program is by far my first choice! Good luck to everyone still waiting!

Congratulations! I just got my acceptance email too. However, I'm thinking about deferring until January 2013 because I was waitlisted at U of M and want to see how that plays out. Either way, I can relate to the nervous and excited feeling...I spent...

Oh, interesting...the email (did everyone get it?) made it sound like the curriculum changed to 16 months, it didn't sound like an option. I would do the additional app if it's required, but it would be nice to go right in! Fingers crossed for you!

Wow, the 12 month program has now changed to a 16 month program...I am happy because I plan to continue on to my master's. How does everyone else who applied feel about the change?

I'm trying to stay positive. Although, it seems like the reason lots of people got in off the waitlist last year was that most decisions came super late, so people offered admission had already started elsewhere. If decisions come earlier this year, ...

Got my decision via email today...I was waitlisted. Does anyone know people who got in off the waitlist? I wonder how many people are on it. I'm not sure if I should cry or be happy I didn't get flat out rejected.

I am curious about this as well! About how soon did everyone get a decision after submitting their app? Mine was just complete as of the beginning of January, so I'm not sure if I should expect a decision soon or not.

That would be awful...I applied for two other programs that start in May, so I don't know what I would do if this is the case.

I know, every school wants something different! This semester I'm taking pre-reqs for other programs in case U of M doesn't work out. So I'm hoping to hear something before the refund date! I've been checking Wolverine Access obsessively, haha.

I haven't heard anything yet. I submitted my app in early November. I heard from the admissions office that they are hoping to send out the first round of decisions in late January. Hopefully we'll hear something soon! Good luck!

I am so nervous about the upcoming application process! I know that I want to go into nursing, but I was sick with mono my first two years of college and didn't do well in a few important classes. Here's what I'm working with (all of these classes ta...
