UAB MSN Fall 2019

[The Incredible Nurse]

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.

I think we will probably find out last week of April just like previous years.

Yeah I do not have a Banner ID still so I’m guessing I did not get in and those of you with the Banner ID did ??‍♀️.

I just called the school and asked and the lady that answered said “I think it’s going to be mid-May. That’s a good guess.” ??

Did you speak with someone in the nursing department?

I just called too. The lady said they are meeting for the next 3 days to make decisions. She said hopefully by the end of the month we will know. It could be as late as mid May, but they are working as fast as they can.

Just kidding, I do have a Banner ID, I just didn't see it before. Mine also has "Pending GPA" on it.

Up until this morning I was able to use the saved link to access my application status, etc, but now it’s not allowing me to. Possibly they’re making decisions?

Same here. Hopefully that is what it means and will know soon about the outcomes.

Good luck to everyone! As I posted before, I received an early decision back in mid February. I've just completed all the immunization/physical requirements and turned all that stuff in. At this point all financial aid has been posted to my account and I'm just waiting on orientation. I was accepted into the DNP program. The process for the MSN may be different.
