UMass Accerated

Published

Accerated=Accelerated, sorry!

Any applicants for the accelerated BSN at UMass that starts Jan. 2009? Just wanted to get an idea of how many apply there each year and the likelihood of getting in!? Or where else are you applying?

It's going to be hard to wait until Oct.! SO......

What are you doing in the meantime? I am thinking about taking other pre req classes for other schools, but hate spending the money if I'm not even going to that school. It's the main frustration I have with nursing schools with such different requirements for the same program!

Any thoughts??

i applied too...i'm dying to find out! do you think we will have to wait until october? i've also been accepted to MCPHS, but UMASS is much cheaper! what was your GPA? i had taken several of the courses as an undergrad. i was not focused, and i was not thinking about the future. i didn't realize that i would actually need these classes again! soooo...my GPA is only around 3.5-3.65...something like that. i did have strong references though....we'll see. i hate the waiting!

Congrat's on getting into the other program! That's pretty exciting. I have a 3.4 undergrad, but 4.0 in all the pre-req's so hopefully that balances things out :)

Good luck to you!!

I applied too!! Thanks for posting. I have multiple transcripts and not sure how they will calculate the overall GPA:( but my pre-reqs were a 3.7. I am getting freaked out by all the lending crisis talk too! It will make it more competitive to get loans for school.

Anyone else have trouble getting the application in b/c of the building change??

Just took Pharmacology over the summer to apply to ohio state- which i then decided not to apply to:) Am re-taking Stats (has to be in last five years) to apply to Oregon Health Sciences University.

Keeping me busy until the next application rears its ugly head.

Which other programs are you guys applying to?

I totally loved the cute little apartments I was spying on craigslist, fantasizing about living in Northampton and drinking beer in cute little pubs:) Which of course i will never have the time or money to do during school...

nope- but have been obsessively checking the mailbox!

I think i have narrowed it down to U of rochester, oshu, u of arizona, duke, unc, and med college of sc. i think:) i keep changing my mind about what i wanna do though- was planning on doing direct entry but then i chickened out on being that poor for such a long time:)

will post when i see the envelope!

Hi guys I applied to the Umass Accelerated program as well and am waiting to hear from them! I also got accepted into MCPHS and am not sure which program I would rather be in. MCPHS is much more expensive but i live right down the street from the school so I just can't figure it out. Where are you guys looking to live in Amherst? Do you know what the rent rates are?
