UMASS Amherst ABSN 2021

[sctrex]

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? ?

@SJC9425 yeah, I emailed and they said March 1st...maybe they go alphabetical order? IDK LOL

I don’t think it’s alphabetical because my last name starts with T. I did finish my app earlier than the deadline so it could be date of submission? LOL

Hey y’all! 2020 cohort here! Don’t stress about acceptance letters, there is no specific order, rhyme or reason. I heard back much later than my classmates (mid March). Make sure you keep checking you junk mail! I never got a snail mail letter just an email in my junk folder! I don’t recommend reaching out to Dee (Dorcas) or other school officials, they won’t tell you anything over the phone , trust me I tried. Be patient and goodluck!

I didn't think I had a shot...3.4 undergrad GPA and 3.7 pre req GPA. But I had a ton of supplemental stuff and a 2 great recommendation letters from 2 PhD professors.

@BradA1515 I never thought I’d get in. 3.5 cum GPA and a 3.2 pre req. definitely not great but I think my letter of rec and essay really helped

Thanks @33b_r_i_a_n_n_a33 for the moral support! How's the program so far??

Hi guys, 

I finally heard back, I just got waitlisted.  

3.5 cumulative and 3.7 pre-reqs but my undergrad has nothing to do with nursing whatsoever, so that might be a factor. Anyways, Anyone else on the same boat?

I did ask how long is the waitlist and my rank, but I doubt they'll specify.
