  1. UMSON Spring 2015

    afowler77 replied to littlemango's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Why, thank you. You made my day by saying that! Just remember, you made it THIS FAR, you are so close! There is no reason to give up now. You have worked really hard to get to where you are. Take a...

  2. UMSON Spring 2015

    afowler77 replied to littlemango's topic in Maryland Nursing

    @fitkitty- I was accepted for Spring 2014, but messed up my math credit, so I had to bow out in the middle if orientation. I immediately (within an hour of leaving orientation) registered for the...

    afowler77 posted a topic in Infectious Disease

    Hello all, I will be starting nursing school in the spring. For almost 20 years now, I have been a "fan," if you will, of infectious diseases. When my kids were little, I came across the book "The...

  4. UMSON Spring 2015

    afowler77 replied to littlemango's topic in Maryland Nursing

    fitkitty- Have hope and keep your chin up! I am proof that persistence pays off. It took me 7 years to slowly get through the pre-req's and 3 application cycles to get in. But I'm in now. Stay on the...

    Not that I want anyone waiting, but I'm glad I'm not waiting

  7. Towson University Spring 2015

    afowler77 replied to jennyxyz's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Where can I find information on orientation? I've perused the TU and University System of Maryland websites, and have turned up nothing. I also checked my Towson email address and haven't found...

  8. UMSON Spring 2015

    afowler77 replied to littlemango's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Still waiting here, too. On the up side, it will change soon, whether it's hours or days. Regardless of the outcome, at least we'll know

  9. UMSON Spring 2015

    afowler77 replied to littlemango's topic in Maryland Nursing

    The acceptance letters take a while to go out. You may not receive them until later this week. I can't remember how long it took last year, but it was a while. They tell you EVERYTHING you need to...

  10. Towson University Spring 2015

    afowler77 replied to jennyxyz's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I got my acceptance to Towson University today! Now I am truly IN! UMSON was just a little too slow on the draw. Now to move on to the other tasks on the

  11. UMSON Spring 2015

    afowler77 replied to littlemango's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Still no change in my staus, but I got my acceptance letter to Towson. So the ball is rolling smoothly in that direction! Not going to sweat my UMSON application

    afowler77 replied to chiefaics's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    You just did lift spirits! This is so inspiring! I'm starting nursing school in the spring, and I constantly worry about what would happen if my physical abilities were limited or altered. It's nice...

  13. UMSON Spring 2015

    afowler77 replied to littlemango's topic in Maryland Nursing

    There is no set priority, order, or list to those who are waitlisted. There is no ranking, necessarily. Basically, you get a letter, asking if you would like to remain on the waiting list and how to...

    afowler77 replied to littlemango's topic in Maryland Nursing

    It's so quiet on here

  15. UMSON Spring 2015

    afowler77 replied to littlemango's topic in Maryland Nursing

    The up side to being wait listed is that, if you don't get a spot for the spring, you can just use the same application for the fall. UMSON just re-submits it for you, with no additional fee. It's...

  16. Towson University Spring 2015

    afowler77 replied to jennyxyz's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I sure hope so! I also was told that, in order for them to accept my CLEP for EN101 with essay, that I passed, I STILL have to write two essays and pay $30/credit ($90 total!) Really? I need to talk...

  17. UMSON Spring 2015

    afowler77 replied to littlemango's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Thanks for the encouragement everyone! Yeah, at the end of the day, I know I'll be in nursing school, and that's all that matters. My response the the silliness of my English credits? UGH!!! I'm...

  18. UMSON Spring 2015

    afowler77 replied to littlemango's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Based on my past history, I'd bet dollars to donuts that I'll be waitlisted. Not the end of the world. I still have Towson, in spite of some odd bureaucratic hoops to jump through. (Apparently an A in...

  19. UMSON Spring 2015

    afowler77 replied to littlemango's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Yes you have to put down the deposit as a provisional admit. They expect you'll finish your current classes with an A or B. (However, if you get less than a B, you will forfeit your spot.) You'll need...

  20. UMSON Spring 2015

    afowler77 replied to littlemango's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Still committee ready. Katiep_123, yeah, at least I have a backup plan, so that makes it a little easier to wait. (The other option comes with its own set of headaches, so UMSON is still my first...

  21. UMSON Spring 2015

    afowler77 replied to littlemango's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I am so happy for those of you who got in! Vigor- I feel ya! When I got my Towson acceptance, I started crying and shaking really hard. I couldn't even hold my phone to text people! Still committee...

    afowler77 replied to littlemango's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Yeah, I'll take my break around 7, so I know there won't be any changes after

  23. UMSON Spring 2015

    afowler77 replied to littlemango's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I work 3-11 tonight and will be able to check only ONCE during that time!

  24. UMSON Spring 2015

    afowler77 replied to littlemango's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Good idea!

  25. UMSON Spring 2015

    afowler77 replied to littlemango's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I'm not worried...just crazy with anticipation. I'd rather know than not know! What's really making me nervous is that I haven't heard back from TU yet. I sent in my deposit last week, not knowing if...
