UAB Fall 2012 Update

I was called yesterday and told I was accepted into the dual adult/women's health program. I have not received official notification though.

I find it odd that they are calling some people. I applied for only 2 options: FNP & ACNP but I have not heard anything by phone or mail. Not sure if that's good or bad? :-/

@40love I agree that it is odd, especially to notify for acceptance. I was called because I was rejected! Ha! Had a hard time with that only because I haven't ever been rejected before. But things work as they should. Please don't get discouraged because you haven't heard from them. I was only called to ask if I would be interested in another program. I had Peds as my second option. My goal is to do Peds but I wanted more mareketability. The scary thing for me is they offered the dual degree which is much longer. Hoping they weren't just needing to feel a spot. Best of Luck!

@rachalealen Had you applied to any other programs? Like a second or third choice? Just curious. Congratulations by the way! :)

rachelaleanRN2B · May 19, 2012

Yes, I had first, second, and third choices. They said they were calling me because they wanted me to send an email stating I would consider my second choice as my first choice because my second choice is a dual program and therefore longer. Again, I have NOT received an "official" notification letter. Anything can change. You can't just go off of a telephone conversation. I have been accepted into two other schools and I was notified by mail on both, so nothing is official until you receive that piece of paper!!

40love,

Don't worry because they didn't call you, it doesn't mean a thing. You got this!!

Thanks, Rachel.

If anyone hears anything, let us know. Good luck to all!

I spoke with someone at UAB today and they are preparing to send out letters! And so the real anxiety sets in.....

Thanks for the update.

So tell me what you think. I recieved a letter from financial aide stating that I had not been admitted to UAB for the term. It was dated May 22, but post marked May 29. So I got really nosy and logged into my old undergrad account, for the term Fall 2012 I am listed as a graduate student and have holds on my account for a background check and a drug screen. AM I IN? Dying here!

@avarn Well, that sounds pretty likely to me. Of course, you will feel better when you have the official documentation. Here's hoping! :)
