  1. UMSON Spring 2015

    afowler77 replied to littlemango's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Hi hegster, I would advise having a back-up plan regarding work. I know some people can and do work while in nursing school, but most advise against it. When I was almost kinda-sorta in UMSON for the...

  2. UMSON Spring 2015

    afowler77 replied to littlemango's topic in Maryland Nursing

    A few things to share: JHU's program is only for those who already have a bachelor's degree or are RN's going to BSN. Always be sure to factor in the cost of health insurance when calculating UMSON's...

    @littlemango- Are you taking Nutrition this semester? I'm in the 1st 8-wk HE200 that meets Tues and

    afowler77 replied to jennyxyz's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I got an email from Towson today, to tell me my application is complete. All I have to do is pass Nutrition and apply to TU. I'm so relieved that all my materials made it to

    afowler77 replied to littlemango's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Since I can't post a response to all the comments that were posted in the past few days, I'll sum it up with this: OH THE STRESS!!! It's nice to know that I am not the only one who feels crazy for...

    @littlemango, it was MUCH easier than dealing with

  7. Towson University Spring 2015

    afowler77 replied to jennyxyz's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I have to say I'm not fond of there being no way to check online to make sure the received my materials. The email I got said only my teacher recommendations were missing. I guess that means they got...

    afowler77 replied to jennyxyz's topic in Maryland Nursing

    It's available! I just started on it

  9. UMSON Spring 2015

    afowler77 replied to littlemango's topic in Maryland Nursing

    UMSON makes financial aid easy. As long as you have a current FAFSA, there isn't much youi have to do. You just let the financial aid office do their thing. You check your SURFS account to see if they...

  10. UMSON Spring 2015

    afowler77 replied to littlemango's topic in Maryland Nursing

    They just use the same application, and I didn't have to re-submit anything. None of the courses I"m taking this semester are UMSON pre-req's, but I'll still need to send my transcript at the end of...

  11. UMSON Spring 2015

    afowler77 replied to littlemango's topic in Maryland Nursing

    This is my 3rd time around. I was provisionally admitted for spring 2014, but botched the math requirement. Was waitlisted for fall 2014. Applying for spring 2015. Once you see your materials are in,...

  12. Towson University Spring 2015

    afowler77 replied to jennyxyz's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Ah, yeah, I just got that email this week, because my professors are behind on sending their references. I think it's odd that the TU application still is not available. It's due October 15! Let's...

  13. UMSON Spring 2015

    afowler77 replied to littlemango's topic in Maryland Nursing

    UMSON is pretty good at keeping track of everything, but if they received the rec's before the application, they may not have them. They always seemed to do a good job at keeping my materials, but you...

  14. UMSON Spring 2015

    afowler77 replied to littlemango's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I think the transcript evaluation is mostly so that both you and UMSON can determine, prior to applying or being accepted, if you have taken the necessary classes. For instance, it is how I determined...

  15. Towson University Spring 2015

    afowler77 replied to jennyxyz's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Have you applied to any other programs? Honestly, in my experience, the sad (and expensive) reality, is that you have to go ahead and accept, just in case. I lost $400 to UMSON last spring. My word of...

  18. UMSON Spring 2015

    afowler77 replied to littlemango's topic in Maryland Nursing

    @littlemango- They call you, email you, send you a packet in the mail, and change your status on the online application site. If you are waitlisted, all you see is a change of status online. I'm not...

  19. UMSON Spring 2015

    afowler77 replied to littlemango's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Well, here I am, back again. My quick back story: I had gotten into UMSON for the Spring 2014 semster, but I botched my math requirement. I applied for Fall 2014 and was waitlisted. I just got an...

  20. Towson University Spring 2015

    afowler77 replied to jennyxyz's topic in Maryland Nursing

    The Admissions office told me Aug. 1, and on the main Towson page, it says, "Spring 2015 application now available." I'll just keep checking often. In the meantime, it may be a moot point if they...

  21. Towson University Spring 2015

    afowler77 replied to jennyxyz's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I'm getting close to panic mode here. They said the application to the university would be available Aug. 1, but I can't find it on the Towson website! It also looks like they won't accept CLEP...

    afowler77 replied to jennyxyz's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I used the McGraw Hill "Nursing School Entrance Exams" study guide. I found it very helpful. I just should've studied

  23. Towson University Spring 2015

    afowler77 replied to jennyxyz's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Sure thing, littlemango! I got a study guide. I can get you the name of it (not home now.) I didn't study enough, so I recommend lots of studying! It covers a wide range of subjects, so identify your...

    afowler77 replied to jennyxyz's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I'm applying for the Hagerstown campus. I'm waitlisted for UMSON, so I figured I should focus somewhere else. I've been attending Frederick Community College, but now all my pre-req's have been...
