UAB Fall 2012 Update

Nursing Students NP Students

Published

To all that have applied for a UAB NP program for Fall 2012, I received some news via email from one to the program directors. It turns out we will not be notified of acceptance or denial until the end of May! I thought the website said notification within 30 days of the deadline date. This is torture!! If anyone has any other info, please share.

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! :)

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!!

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

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! :)
