Well Samford University is a tremendous institution and their nursing program is excellent! Birmingham is an active vibrant city. I will most definitely keep you updated; as you said, it will be very nice to know someone prior to the start of the program! I will be extremely happy at both universities/where ever I end up. Have you decided where you're going to live?

Thank you- and congratulations to you as well! I am just beyond grateful to have been accepted to a program. There are pros and cons to both programs. However, after researching both programs it came down to the basics for me. If I'm accepted to the nursing program at USA, I will go there. Their program is only 12 months, and it's a public institution. Samford has an extra semester of courses, and the tuition is significantly less expensive at USA. I am an instate resident. My parents are funding my education, so I took that into account as well. I ultimately want to be a CRNA which is an additional 4 years of school. With all that being said, that is how I came up with my decision. If I'm not accepted to USA's program, I will definitely be at Samford! Both are excellent programs; it just came down to the basics for me. Are you definitely going to Samford? Did you apply anywhere else?

I applied to both as well just incase as well (a.k.a backup plan). I must say… I've heard various information/feedback on the admissions process. I have a friend who recently graduated from the program, and she never had an interview. She just received a letter in the mail. I just want to know! I'm failing miserably at patiently waiting.

I've been accepted to Samford University! I am still patiently waiting to hear back from USA.

I mailed in my application and unofficial transcripts in together. However, the a lady emailed me saying they had received all of my materials.

I didn't ask about interviews when I called. They just said letters are sent out 6-8 weeks from the deadline. We will receive a letter regardless if accepted or not.

I spoke with a lady the other day, and she said we will receive letters in the mail 6-8 weeks from the deadline.

I applied back in February as well thinking the exact same thing! Hopefully we will start hearing back soon!

Who all has applied to either USA (July 2015) or Samford (June 2015) with hopes of beginning the accelerated bsn program at one of these universities? I am interested in hearing feedback from others!

I applied for the accelerated bsn program as well- still patiently waiting to hear back!
