UM ABSN SPRING 2019

Published

Hi guys!

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.

We got this.

Specializes in Neuro ICU.

When will they start sending out canelinks? Or do we get all communication through NursingCas?

I called the SON and one of the ladies told me that they've started sending decisions back in late March/early April? That's concerning to me since I'm worried that seats are being filled up pretty fast. They also make decisions in batches so a panel of people are scheduled to meet and make decisions in groups.

Hm, maybe she was mistaking it with the summer cohort? I know they didn't finish sending out decisions for them until the second week of April. I emailed admissions in mid-March and was told they hadn't even started looking at our batch of applications yet. I also submitted my application in February so I assume I would be one of the first to hear back (if they do it based on timing) and I haven't received a CaneLink account yet.

Yeah when I called about a month ago I was told it'd be late May/ June earliest and that they hadn't even started looking at our apps yet

Yeah, no they haven't started ours yet. I recently talked to Anna and she said we should expect no earlier than late May. She said they were still concentrated on the summer cohort that's starting up now.

Any update from anyone? I haven't received anything via email or phone...

Nope :( maybe in 2 more weeks

Nothing. Hopefully within the next few weeks! I want to know already!

Anyone hear anything?

Hey guys! The deadline for Spring 2019 isn't until August 1st, so how would we hear back before then?

Hi guys I also applied for Spring 2019. Has anyone got an email about setting up their cane link or an admission decision?

UM is on a rolling admissions. Although the official cutoff is 1 Aug, they begin processing applications before hand.
