HCE2014

I know its a little late, but if anyone needs a place to stay tomorrow night that hasn't moved to Worcester yet, let me know. We just moved here a few weeks ago and have an extra room. Just send me a PM. See everyone tomorrow!

I PMed you :)

I got accepted probably 2 wks after that letter. My decision said sent last monday and I got my letter last Wednesday.

Yep I got that form.

The UMASS deposit was $650

I think this is do-able mzaur and am in a very similar situation. Good luck!

I decided on UMass. Good luck to those going to Simmons, I've heard awesome things!

Got my acceptance letter this AM. Decisions decisions.

anonymous219- I was in the same situation with the ABSN or DE option and decided not to go with the ABSN option because in the end I know I want to be an NP and I really didn't want to do the entire application process again. There are some pretty great forums that you can search for that have a lot of information about the Simmons program. Sounds like a lot of people really like it. Also, looks like my decision says mailed on the online portal. Is it overnighted or just regular mail? Congrats to all who have gotten in!

I met several staff members while I was there. One of the professors gave me a nice tour. How much is the deposit if you dont mind me asking?

I'm out of state too. I've already committed to UMass Med but I went to visit UMass, Simmons, BC, and Regis when I was there and Simmons and UMass were my favorite. I think it has a great reputation and is in a really great part of the city too. Congrats!

I received my admissions packet. Anyone choosing to go somewhere else?

I think they just say the end of March to be safe. I looked back in previous years and it looks like they've heard in mid-March. When was you application complete? Mine was complete Dec 27th and mine hasn't switched to mailed yet.

We're moving from Oregon. Thats funny, my fiance just got a job at the City of Somerville actually so we're not really sure where to move. I talked to people at my visit a little bit but we didn't get into too many details. I think it would be crazy to commute everyday from the city during the first year, but I hear your second and third year its more doable. I would really like to see a sample schedule to know what days we have classes and clinicals before I consider where to move. We are also thinking about maybe doing split housing so we have an apartment in Somerville then I get a roommate in Worcester and come home to Boston for the weekends. Not sure. Any chance you'll commute?

I asked yesterday when I called to clarify a pre-req and they said it would be going out shortly. She did tell me that our orientation date is June 16th though, which is helpful to know now cause I'm from out of state.

Totally agree kroma8! We should start a Facebook page or something for people starting in the fall. I'm really excited and am looking forward to orientation in June :)

I haven't received any sort of info packet or letter yet. Anyone else?

Has anyone heard how long we have to turn in our deposits before the 2nd wave of applicants are notified off the waitlist? A student I talked to last year said the turn around time was really really short.

I flew to my interview from out of state and was absolutely amazed by the UMass facilities. I also love the sub-specialties. Hope you like your visit, it was really helpful for me! We should start a group for admitted students. Good luck to everyone still waiting!

I just called and they said the deposit is $650.00 this year. I got into Emory, and applied to Simmons for FNP but haven't heard yet. I think either way I'll be attending UMass. What about you??

Kroma8, do you know how much the deposit is? Cant find it on the website

Yeah I think so. I loved the staff and facilities. Has anyone from FNP heard yet?

I got into adult/gero. I have 3.4 GPA undergrad, 3.7 prereqs, 4.0 from previous masters. Been working in cardiovascular icu for about a yr now. Good luck for those waiting! Whyohwhy what track are you waiting for?

I got an email at 8:40pm EST. I'm sure they're just doing it by specialty. Good luck!

Hey I just got an email from the nursing school! I'm in!
