UAB MSN Fall 2019

Updated:   Published

Hello Everyone,

I wanted to start this thread for the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) MSN program Fall 2019 applicants. We can use this thread to keep track of the application process, GPA, application deadlines and acceptance or denial letters. Also as a way to stay sane during this stressful time. Support each other during this journey to become an Advanced Pracrice Provider.

I am applying for Fall 2019 MSN Psych Program for PMHNP. I finish my BSN in May 2019 and have my ASN with a GPA of 3.76. My GPA for the BSN should be 4.0 if all stays the same grade wise. My letters of reccomendation are from the program director ar my University, a member of the Faculty team and the Nursing Director of the Surgical Services Department at my workplace. My application letter is APA formatted with at least 3 references and close to 800 word count. Application deadline for the PMHNP track is Febraury 21, 2019.

What specialty track are you all applying to? What are yor GPA scores. Do you plan on taking the GRE? Share any thoughts.

From what I read on previous years forums, you can try and create a BlazerNet Student ID using your social security number. If it works and you are able to log in you may be able to see your application status and track acceptance. It wasnt a 100% sure thing back then but some people were able to see their acceptance that way about a week earlier than the official letters were sent.

I have tried this and it tells me they do not have a valid birthday on file. Not sure what that means??? https://idm.uab.edu/bid/reg

I hope to find out in April. I have been admitted to another PNP program that will start on May 6th. I prefer to go to UAB but I don't want to miss an opportunity to start at the other college.

This means probably that decisions have not been made yet. So there is no student information or internal profiles for those accepted yet. You will for sure find before May 6.

I made an account just to reply to this haha! I work in the ER and have a background in social work. Mom, wife, etc. I applied for the PMHNP program and agreed with everyone about the APA essay being difficult to incorporate the personal with the academic.

Did anyone else apply to The University of Alabama?

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that way about the essay. I bet they just wanted to weed out the people who weren't serious while also making sure we can follow directions. No, I didn't apply to the University of Alabama.

I tried this too and I got the same message. I also have been accepted into another program that ironically starts May 6th too, but I would still prefer UAB. But I agree that we should know if we're accepted before May. I'm thinking late April.

I wonder if we have been accepted into the same program. I am nervous because they want to start enrolment and webinars ect.

Same. I've been accepted into Chamberlain's FNP.

I called the school this morning and they said letters wouldn’t be sent out until the end of April/beginning of May because “the committee hasn’t met yet” whatever that means. Does it mean they haven’t reviewed our stuff yet??

Did anyone apply to the DNP program?? I applied found out I was accepted 2/15

They do that every freaking year. You would think they would finally meet on time one year for once. This just means the timeframe will be in-line with previous years. We will probably hear about decisions by last week of april.

Have y’all tried signing into your application dashboard again? It lets me go to appointments and interviews but it doesn’t say anything there. ?

It says pending GPA and what I’ve submitted ??‍♀️

My portal just says “submitted” and has green checkmarks on all the stuff I submitted already ??‍♂️
