I’m guessing I didn’t get in if I haven’t gotten an email.

I haven’t received one either. They could be sending them out today. Keep the hope up!

That is fine! I cannot remember if they only looked at pre-requisite GPA or if it was a whole degree GPA. My previous degree (BS in Biology) was a 3.4 and then I took the remaining pre-requisites and ended up with a cumulative 3.6 afterwards or so. If we were just looking at the pre-req then I think it's about a 3.8. 

I'm an EMT although I didn't get to work for long before the pandemic shut everything down. I have about 2 years of experience of being a research assistant at the UF Cancer Center. During undergrad I wanted to be a doctor so I already had healthcare experience from doing things like volunteering frequently in mobile clinics and other stuff like that. 

Thank you! I have close 2 years of optician and CNA experience! Glad to hear you got in!

Hey guys! I was also accepted and will most likely be going here (pending my bf getting a job in Boston, moving here from VT) hope you all get great news ☺️

What time did you get your email? 

[Amber Rose Mello]

I wonder if they send them alphabetically by last name or all acceptances then rejections...

[Amber Rose Mello]

I just got an email given me an acceptance so don’t lose out hope yet!

My undergrad GPA was a 3.5. I believe my pre req GPA was around a 3.8. I had a year of research experience with yeast and 3 years working as lab prep for Microbiology. I currently work for a company doing home are for people with disabilities.

I hope you get it! I also supplied my TEAS score which wasn’t required but I had to take it for another school and recieved a 93 for that, I’m not sure if that played a role and I worked so hard perfecting my essay to make up for lack of health care experience and a moderate GPA.

I received an offer of admission along with a Direct Entry Dean's Merit Scholarship $$$. My email was sent out at 10:41am EST and sent by the Director of Graduate Admission. 

Did anyone else also received a merit scholarship along with their acceptance letter? I would love to talk to someone about making acceptance decisions between Boston College and Simmons. I am grateful to have received a sizeable merit scholarship from both. Is there a facebook page for admitted student set up?

I heard they are sending letters out as well. Or did y’all get only emails?

I believe they are also sending out hard-copy packets in the mail. It seems like the emails are coming out in waves since some have received them at different times.
