  1. UMSON Fall 2014

    afowler77 replied to queserasera's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I had options in the beginning of my quest. I had narrowed it down to Johns Hopkins and Maryland. But then Hopkins did away with its traditional BSN program. I was crushed and scared because it...

    PinkEagle- That's right. I keep forgetting, because other schools have a shorter lifespan for science classes. I guess I can just keep applying, if need be. I will go crazy if I don't, because I'm...

    beachgirl124, we're in the same boat! I had made it to orientation, but had to leave the second day. My CLEP score was 2 points short of passing and they needed to review my previous college algebra...

    afowler77 replied to queserasera's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Just checked again...still ready for review. I applied for Shady Grove. When I applied for the spring, I had been waitlisted, but I still got accepted a few weeks later. It was algebra that never...

    My overall GPA is 3.57 and my science GPA is a 3.25. My TEAS score was 88% and I scored in the 98th percentile. No news is good

    I feel like a kid on Christmas Eve...a kid who's afraid Santa won't come! I really should be focusing on my Physics and Algebra exams

    Hi Husky2011! I applied to Shady Grove as well. Hopefully, we will soon be classmates, instead of competitors! Then we can get to know each other, so we won't be in a room full of strangers at...

    When I was briefly in, I had to friend the program manager at the USG campus and she had to invite me to join the fb group. She was also the only one who could approve members to join the closed...

    Hi Katie, Are you taking any other classes? UMSON is still going to want your end of semester transcript. If your school is like mine (FCC) then classes you've registered for will appear on the...

    afowler77 replied to queserasera's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Regarding a facebook group, UMSON creates one for each class and campus. They'll explain when you get accepted. That's where they answer questions and share important information, so everyone in the...

    afowler77 replied to queserasera's topic in Maryland Nursing

    As far as I know, yes. If any of us are accepted and still have classes in progress, our status would be "Provisional Admit." They want to see your official transcript as soon as possible after you...

    afowler77 replied to queserasera's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I'm inclined to think it could easily be another week after this Sunday's deadline for the confirmation form. They'll need a few days to sort out which applicants would be at which campus, then see...

    afowler77 replied to queserasera's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I just encountered the same thing. I guess we're all trying to get on at once! I needed to get my student ID# so I can complete the location confirmation. (Why didn't I write it down before?!) This...

    You get used to the "checkerboard" neighborhoods. North Avenue, the Hilton Parkway area, Edmonson, Frederick Road from the city line to where it turns into Pratt St...all of those are grungy, shady...

    I've lived in Baltimore/Bmore area, on and off, for close to 10 years. If you have questions about the city, feel free to ask! Baltimore City public transportation is mediocre. ie-my commute to...

    Vaccines: yes, print out the health form! That has everything you need. Current Tdap or DTap, proof of MMR vaccine or a titer, proof of varicella or a titer, at least first 2 (of 3) Hep B, and for...

    afowler77 replied to queserasera's topic in Maryland Nursing

    UMSON is the only school I applied to. Yes, I did put all my eggs in one basket, but only after researching other schools in the area. Hopkins was an option, but then they eliminated their traditional...

    afowler77 replied to queserasera's topic in Maryland Nursing

    The CLEP test is a great way to get credit without re-taking a class. I had taken English classes at Montgomery College in the mid-90's, but didn't finish one because my son was born at the end of the...
