Still waiting on that letter...

Published

Hi,

I'm new to this site and I guess I'm just wondering how long it took for you to hear back from UMB or any other nursing schools around the area. I go to UMBC but unfortunately I'm not in the 2+2 program. It's really frustrating to hear everyone around me saying how excited they are, I've been hearing this for the past 1.5 months. I guess another thing that ticks me off some more is the fact that I know of a girl who got in with a 2.4 gpa... I'm sitting here thinking that her advantage as a 2+2 student and outweighing people with higher gpa's is truly outrageous. They were also not required to take the NET exam for the application process. :banghead:

The deadline to the application was May 1, so I know I should still give it some time... but I haven't heard from any of my other schools either, which adds onto the existing stress. The semester is ending and I have no idea what to sign up for next semester at UMBC because I'm done with all my pre-reqs. I honestly have no desire to obtain a degree in psychology and then applying for the CNL program as a backup plan. I also did not want to waste $200 deposit on renewing my on-campus housing for next semester. :uhoh21:

^ If I don't get accepted, what do you all suggest I do? Should I continue taking classes at UMBC or should I take a semester off and reapply to more nursing schools for another semester?

I'm sorry that this sounds more like a rant.

I have exams this week. I swear I'm usually more cheerful :clown:

I understand your frustration but think its too soon to be too worried about the what ifs. Wishing you well. Please let us know when you do get your acceptance letter! :)

do you know if they send out rejection and acceptance letters together?

I just called home and I didn't get anything. Hopefully tomorrow.

I am not sure how they do it. I would be surprised if they sent all the acceptance letters on the same day.

Still no letter!!!!

But I went online to check on my application and there's a new line that reads, "Decision: Committee Ready." Before there was only a line that said complete ready for review.

I'm guessing it means nothing significant.. but if anyone can explain to me, please do so. :nuke:

Hey Lonestar,

I just checked online and I got in for UMB. I remember checking it like you and it just saying "Completed ready for review". So I decided to quit checking all the time :). But when I checked today it said "Application Status-Decision Made" then on the next line "Decision: Admit-Institution"

I would call and speak with Amanda Barnes at UMB and ask her. It sounds like they may be still reviewing your app
