I did! May I ask whats everyones undergrad GPA? I spoke to admissions and it seems that they are only concerned with applicant GPA. (since they didn't ask for a personal statement, recommendations, TEAS, etc.)

I'm not so confident that I'll get in only because my undergrad GPA is under at 3.0 but my pre-req GPA is above a 3.5 so we'll see. Hopefully we hear back soon since this program starts in May!

Did you submit an essay? Maybe you should to convince them of why you're a great candidate despite your GPA. what other programs have you applied to?

Hi SophNursing,

I didn't submit an essay because they didn't require one nor was there a section to upload any additional documents. I applied to UMass Ahmerst, curry and a few outside MA schools. you? What's your top choice?

I also applied to this program, anxiously waiting to hear back. I'm a bit nervous about how new the program is, anyone share this sentiment? lol

I applied also. Is there an app tracker? This is the only school that I can't find one for and I want to make sure they got my transcripts.

Hey yo_yoshi1. Did you receive an email or any info to log into your salem state navigator? In the navigator, you should be able to see what you're missing and application status.

I just found it in my spam. I actually ended up calling SSU on Tuesday and they told me my application is incomplete. My undergrad school never sent my transcript!!!! I had to miss work yesterday to get it all settled but my application is now "late" even though I applied 3 months ago so I doubt I'll get in now. Good luck to everyone else!!!!

Oh wow! I'm sorry yo_yoshi1! That really sucks :/ I applied pretty early too but I called the school a couple times to make sure that my application was complete.

mickey_123 yeah I was being dumb, I applied to 5 schools and the 4 other called me if anything was missing so I just assumed SSU would too and I was so caught up with interviews and class that I didn't think anything of it. Lesson learned for sure.
