UMASS Amherst ABSN 2021

Published

Hi, everyone!

I am planning on applying to UMASS for the 2021 cycle of their ABSN program. I will be graduating in December of this year (2020) with my bachelor's in health sciences.

Anyone else going to be applying? ?

Heyy! I'm really excited, I applied Sept/8. But I think my letter of rec got in some time a week after. Do you know what the timeline for the application process looks like by any chance?

Specializes in NICU. Has 2 years experience.

Are y'all talking about the cycle that starts Summer 2021 with a grad date of Dec 2022?

@boaf It looks like the deadline is Jan 15 and decisions have been sent out by March 1 (last week of Feb) in the past.

I am planning to apply as well!  Trying to find out more about the program as I just recently started looking at Umass (especially since it is much cheaper than some other schools I have looked into) feel free to share anything you have learned about the program, thanks!

I applied a few weeks ago- and it seems unclear whether we will be getting decisions 4-6 weeks after submission or all starting in March? Does anyone know the acceptance rate? Someone the other day told me it was like 2% ?

Best of luck!!

Hey! Has anyone heard back yet---or is it too soon to tell? ?

Has anyone been able to visit or spoken to anyone at the program?

From what I can tell from past forums, decisions are made towards the end of February until March 1. Fingers crossed it is my top school!
