I'm currently completing my undergrad+prereqs to apply in the next year to UM's ABSN program for the Spring 2019 session (Apps due next august). I know it's a very premature thread but I thought there might be other applicants for the Spring 2019 session who are already freaking out about apps like me. If any students who were accepted for previous threads could share their experience, tips, or stats here that would be incredibly helpful.
Also, I don't know if I'm just late to finding this out but for anyone that didn't know. The admissions office told me that even though they allow you to retake one prerequisite, your original grade is still calculated in to the GPA they create for you. That definitely brought me down a little bit so hopefully that helps you guys out!
So am I understanding this correctly, the current GPA generated in our nursingCAS application is the one they are going by? That doesn't take into account any current classes we may be taking. I'm only taking human growth and dev now but I'll be done in July. Also, anyone who is applying to FIUs ABSN. What is your plan in case you get accepted into UM first, but only have a 2 week window to accept admission? FIU wont even start reviewing applications until August- September.

I don't know exactly because my GPA on my transcripts does not calculate my first attempt on the class I retook, it only counts the new grade. But the admissions rep emailed me today saying that they calculate your GPA including all attempts.
anyone have an idea on when the next batch of decisions will be sent out?!
I am guessing sometime in the next 2 weeks. After people get a "complete" on cane link, the average change is about 10-12 days. But that's just what I have gathered from reading forums. Since a batch of people were switched to "complete" last friday, they should be notified I'd predict, by the end of June.
I am also stressed about the timing conflict for UM/FIU's ABSN programs. If anyone has any plan for this I would also love to know as well!!
Since I submitted by UM application June 4th, it is possible that i would be accepted before FIU starts scheduling interviews. Which in comparison to last year, begin around September- early October. Personally, I'll officially accept whatever comes my way first. If I get a UM acceptance, I will accept admission and pay the admission fee to hold my spot. If I end up getting into FIU then I would just figure that out afterwards and make a decision. Unfortunately, finances dont weigh heavily for me because i wont be considered in-state until next March, so the tuition for FIU will be pretty close to the cost of UM.
Did you guys get an email that said your app was under review before your status changed to complete? Or did you just check and saw the status changed?

I didn't get an email, I just checked and saw it said complete!
Mine says complete, I turned in my final transcrips, BLS certification and updated Resume on Friday. Hoping to hear back soon. In other news, anyone know how the schedule of the first semester is?
