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.

Specializes in PCU, ONS, CM.

Does any one else’s say anything different? Does it mean the essay has been read and is satisfactory? I’ve heard in the past that the essay was a heavy part of the application and I’m nervous about mine ? I didn’t have anyone else review or edit it ?

Mine also has the banner ID. I just need ONE school. Come on alreadyyyy!

You are too sweet! It could also mean that they took a glance at my application and knew right away with that GPA ?

Mine also says GPA pending and I have an awesome GPA so don't worry.

Saw this on last years thread for UAB.

It let me creat a PIN number. I don’t know what this means tho. Then I can log in with my banner number and pin here:

but it says I don’t have access, only tried on my phone not a desktop.

I tried this but it also says I’m not authorized even though I have a banner ID. Do you know if this person was accepted?

Different people posted each one. And I believe they were accepted, not 100% sure tho. Did your try to create a pin first? Make sure the right birthday is in. After each time I put my birthday in it kept defaulting to today’s date.

Yeah if I do it that way it tells me that I don’t exist lol but when I go into the application dashboard under the appointments and events, I see a banner ID there.

I’m not sure then. I would try again later and she if it changes. On the same screen that shows the banner ID, there is a tab that says view decision letter. It has a header my name.... then Sincerely at the bottom. There isn’t any content to it. My friend who was accepted last year said he saw his banner ID and about two weeks got her official acceptance.
