UMass Amherst Accelerated BSN - 2014

Published

Hey everyone,

I submitted my application on February 1st for the UMass Amherst Accelerated BSN program that starts in August. I got an email a few days ago about setting up an interview either face-to-face or via the computer. I had to choose the computer option since I live in North Carolina. Anyways, my interview just ended and I wanted to see what others thought of their interview and such.

Also, I wanted to see if anyone who is currently attending there, had to have an interview before?

Thanks and good luck to all! :)

Congrats everyone who got accepted !! I received my acceptance letter last week very excited! I have also started looking for off campus housing so if anyone has any info please let me know. Good luck everyone still waiting ! Go Umass 2014 :)

@MsOHKASwillbeanRN I'm actually not a current student or a graduate of the program. I applied to the school the same time as everyone else here, but will be attending UMass Boston's nursing program as it is closer to home. I went to UMass Amherst for my undergraduate degree and I loved it! Can't really say anything else for off campus housing as I lived on campus for the 4 years, but I know many of my friends and acquaintances were able to get off campus housing in the area - especially in nearby apartment complexes.

@BrittanySugden Thanks, congrats to you too! Here's the link UMass Amherst ABSN 2014-2015

I'm not sure why it isn't showing up, hopefully I didn't do something wrong, and make it unsearchable. I'll have to check the settings.

Look forward to meeting you!

@embracke, Congrats, I am also going to be in the Fall 2014 class at UMass Amherst. I've tried searching facebook for the page, but can't find anything! Besides "UMass Amherst ABS 2014" can you think of anything else I can search to join?

Congrats to all who have gotten accepted, and good luck to those still waiting to hear!

@brunettebelle,

I was also accepted and wait-listed as well! Have you heard anything back from UMass yet about any open spots? Also, do you think we will be contacted via postal mail or email??

@vbnes1126,

I didn't hear anything yet. They said they wouldn't contact until after April 1st and I assume they have until orientation which I heard is mid-July to maybe even end of August to contact us. I believe they will contact by phone or email since a spot opening up is a time sensitive issue, but that's just my guess. Glad I am not the only one in this boat! :) Do you have a Plan B in case this doesn't pan out or are you waiting to hear back from any other schools? :)
