UAB Summer 2014

Scareykarey,

I am applying to three other schools. The others are USA, GCSU, and albany state. (The latter two are in georgia). I am sad but not losing hope. The form enclosed in my letter had instructions for me to complete another essay as well. I am apply to GCSU as an "enrichment student." Which just essentially means you take classes for fufillment. But I wanna take pharm or patho while I wait for acceptance into another school

To those who aren't accepted, please don't give up. Last year I applied to CRNA school at UAB. I studied for the GRE like crazy for weeks. I got three extra letters of recommendations- two of which were from CV surgeons. I also wrote a research paper that wasn't required, and I made a book with my picture on the front and sent it all throughout the hospital and got 250 signatures from nurses, doctors, PAs, CRNAs, and CRNPs who would recommend me for CRNA school. I also had comment pages in the back for people to write about me. I had three years of ICU and CV experience. I just knew I was gonna get in...but I didn't even get an interview. Nothing. I was really worried that I wouldn't get into CRNP school either because I felt like I hadn't put near enough time into my application (since I obsessed over CRNA school so much.) But, somehow I did. So don't give up! There are always trials before triumph! You can do it!

Thanks CLPrater

Dimples, I agree with CLPrater! Keep trying!!! You WILL end up exactly where you are supposed to! I've been rejected a time or two myself! It doesn't feel good at all, but it motivates you to push EVEN harder! Look into a boatload of schools! In MS alone there are many options including: USM, UMC, Delta State, William Carey, University for Women etc. etc. etc. As my mom always says, "Nothing ventured. Nothing gained."

Still nothing in today's mail!!!

Nothing in the mail today, either! What the heck?

I called them today and said I hadn't received any mail. She said, "You applied for NP, Woman's Health right?" I said yes... her reply "Well its a good thing because YOU'RE IN!" Haha. She said if I didn't get a packet by Friday to call back and they would resend one or I could pick it up. She stated to disregard the deadline of the 20th to send paperwork back since I've been in touch about it already.

Karrey- I'd give them a call! Everyone should have their letters/packets by now. Good luck!!

I emailed yesterday evening, so I'll wait to see if I hear back from her this morning. If I get too impatient I'll give her a call this afternoon. This waiting game SUCKS, especially if I haven't been admitted!

Nevermind, I got my official rejection letter today. Sigh.

OrthoFNP · Dec 19, 2013

I am so sorry ScaryK. You gotta keep applying! You'll get in!!!

Dimples7024 · Dec 19, 2013

I'm sorry scareykarey,

Hang in there. My rejection from uab has me even more convinced that I have to keep trying because I want this so much. So don't lose hope. Be sure to reapply. I am submitting my usa application tomorrow.

Has anyone received the background check and drug test email yet? I just want to make sure I haven't missed anything, but know things might be delayed on UAB's end due to the holidays. Thanks!
