UAB Fall 2013 NP Programs

wanderlea · Mar 20, 2013

I have applied to UAB's ACNP program for Fall 2013. Just wanted to start a "roll call" if you will, for all those applying to any of UAB's NP programs for fall 2013 so that we can kind of keep each other posted on the progress of accepectances and etc. Good luck to everyone who has applied! I look forward to hearing from each of you!![/quote']
I just submitted my application on Friday the 15th for the ACNP program as well, however, I'm a little nervous that my transcripts won't get there in time and then I'll miss the 3/22 deadline! How long ago did u apply? Do u know when we will hear if we got in or not?

I submitted my application a little over 3 weeks ago. It took one of my transcripts a bit longer than expected to get there though, so my application wasn't technically complete until this past Friday. From what the website says, we should supposedly hear something from them no later than 30 days from after the deadline. Judging from some posts I found here on allnurses regarding last years Spring application cycle, that may not be the case. It was like the middle of June before anyone posted whether they had been accepted/denied. So I guess there's really no way to know for sure.

That's great! I really don't think they will receive all my transcripts in time so I will probably not get in for the fall Did they send u an email once everything was received?

Hi everyone,

I am looking for any advice from all of you who have applied. I rec'd by BSN from UAB and want to apply for Spring.

Here is my concern: my overall undergrad GPA is only 3.02. However, my last-60-hrs is 3.62.

I am concerned that I may not be very competitive!

Does anyone have any data on their admission statistics? Dare I hope any preference would be given for alumni? ( I have a sense that is a no...)

I applied at Univ. of Southern Alabama and was denied. The admissions counselor informed me that they looked strictly at overall GPA, and I was not going to get in without a 3.5.

So I am looking at other programs.

I would appreciate any thoughts or advice.

Thanks, and good luck to everyone!

Hi Robinelli! When did u submit your application? And did they send u an email once they received your transcripts?

You can check the apply yourself website to see what has been received. I had to resend my transcripts a few times for all if them to make it.

Hi Everyone! So I applied to the Fall FNP program. I did things a bit differently; I submitted all transcripts as I was completing the application process. How do you find out if they received all the transcripts? Good luck to everyone here, hope we all get accepted!!
