    UMDNJ Accelerated BSN Fall 2011

    iPink replied to km3428's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Yes, the Admissions department is the worse, in my opinion. School starts in 2 weeks, so I could easily say that you were most likely deferred to the Spring 2012 semester, but I've heard of people...
