I asked for group 1C as my first choice and was told that was where I was placed. I replied very quickly to the email.

I applied to a few programs and applied to Regis early decision. I knew that if I were to be accepted into Regis, I would attend...that is where I am headed, hope to meet any of you who will be attending!

I do know that some people will decide not to attend from now until the semester begins, but I heard the class is full as well.

From what I read here, all of you whom are wait listed are determined and eager to get in! That is the attitude to be accepted and what will be absolutely necessary to succeed. Hope the best for all of you!

I heard the letters were being sent out. Congratulations to everyone that got accepted. I am very excited about for Fall, never thought I would think this way about school. I know there are many challenges ahead and this will not be easy, but I like that! Hope the best for everyone!

heramay22 - my approach was if I did not get in early decision, I was going to contact the admissions department and ask what I could do to strengthen my application and become a more desirable candidate. My advice would be to ask how to be more proactive and see what you can do that is in your control. I am not stating that your application is not strong. I am stating that there may be areas that you do still have control of to make even stronger and work with admissions to do so. I hope the best for you and personally do not know the difference between wait listed or deferred. Take care.

vrousesel - thank you for the message and compliment, I did not take offense to what you wrote. I have never been good at receiving compliments, gifts, things like that. I have approached all of this application process with an open, humble perspective. I was honored to be accepted and look forward to the challenges ahead. I do have a somewhat strong science background, although no degree to show for that. I have been going to college somewhat consistently since I graduated high school. I hope the best for you, I heard that Regis was expecting a record amount of applicants for next Fall. If you are motivated and portrayed that to the school, you will be a strong candidate!

jrwinney - thank you for the replies, I know Regis has a great program. Once I applied, I still had to re-submit my recommendations because the format was incorrect, however the application was still considered by the deadline. So I never really got to take a deep breath and wait as my personality likes to. Four days after I resubmitted the recommendations, I received the decision from the school. Since you have applied, easier said than done I am sure, relax! I would say good luck, but I do not believe in luck, not in a bad way, but half of anything (in my opinion) is skill, the other half is chance. vroussel - thank you for the message, I have a Bachelors in English and have worked in various industries, nothing major though. I honestly worked on each component of the application knowing that each piece was important, and anything that I thought weakened my application, I made sure everything else that I had control of was stronger. I am not in this to fool myself and inflate myself to look better. I felt qualified and tried to convey that through the application. Regis is my first choice so with hard work and some pure chance, I was able to be accepted. I am honored and excited to have this opportunity. I hope the best for you and believe that anyone that is qualified, no matter when they apply and before the spots fill, will be accepted.

The GRE format has changed. The scale is now 130-170 for both quantitative and verbal, and keep in mind that the entire application is measured not one component, so if your GRE scores are not great, focus on other portions of the application. Jennifer0512, so you are almost finished? I was accepted for the Fall and am planning (if the future exists) to matriculate this Fall.

I started looking with websites like this, Nursing Schools in Massachusetts | Nursing Schools.net If you are driven and motivated, you can get into any school, and you will need that same drive to succeed while in school.

Oh and Northeastern is probably considered the best school in Massachusetts. The only accept 30 students per year. You need to be an exceptional student to apply to that program. Depending on where you live, there are many BSN programs out there.

I would go for the accelerated, especially if there is a option for 3rd year graduate study like MGH or Regis college. I had a few options for school for this upcoming fall semester, and I chose Regis college because of the graduate study and reputation of the school. Are you looking for schools in Massachusetts?

Hello, I applied early decision for Fall 2012 matriculation into the accelerated BSN/MSN program and heard Christmas eve that I was accepted. Are there any other members here that are attending the program as well? I also attended the accepted student afternoon in January and did not get to talk to many people, I think most people there were a bit quiet as was I as well, however I would still like to get to know anyone that has applied and/or accepted.
