UMASS Boston Accelerated BSN Summer 2016

I checked my application status and it says
Will keep you guys posted! I am not even sure when they posted that.. I didn't get any email notification or anything :/

I got the same status change and the to do list with the financial aid information. This is so nerve wracking! Good luck everyone!

Hey everyone :) My status changed to "the application is complete" and a bunch of new tabs have been added like financial aid and transfer credit. I've been talking with admissions and she said there are multiple admissions committee meetings, the first being this week. She didn't say when the next meeting is, but I would hope it's next week or even later this week! I noticed that v.lam827 applied before the application date. Maybe they go through applicants sequentially by who has applied first? Just a guess, but this waiting game is killing me too!

@v.lam827 Is there a financial aid section on your page and anything listed on the "to-do" list?

I have a financial aid section and to do list as well.

I feel like it might just be because they sent the decision so maybe it automatically changes? I'll let you guys know when my letter comes in the mail. I was really hoping it would be here by today (hopeful thinking haha).

Hi all! Has anyone received a letter yet? Patiently waiting!

v.lam827 · Dec 29, 2015

Just got my letter I'm in :)

Congrats, v.lam 827! I'm crossing my fingers that I receive my letter in the mail tomorrow. I'm all the way in CA! What kind of envelope did the letter come in? (i.e., is it in a big white envelope or a regular envelope..?)

FDF288 · Dec 29, 2015

I just got my letter today! :) It was a big white envelope. Good luck to everyone still waiting! I live right outside of Boston which is probably why it arrived so soon.

Awesome, congrats to you both! I'm curious what your stats are (more so for myself so I know if I should brace for bad news!). Does anyone have any idea how they are going about communicating acceptances/rejections? My status hasn't changed online at all, but hope it is because they are still reviewing applications :)

mrp1004 · Dec 29, 2015

Congratulations to everyone who has received good news! :) I have yet to hear anything, and my application status does not say that a letter has been sent. Its hard not to go to worst case scenario, but I'm wondering if perhaps they sent letters to earlier applicants first? My materials weren't submitted until the day before the deadline because of my TEAS testing date. I've looked through this thread and one from last year and people have mentioned that they send the decision letters out in different chunks. Fingers crossed!

FDF288 · Dec 29, 2015

Thanks, Ecase! I'm super excited to start :)

I had a 3.3 undergrad (in English) and 3.9 for my prereqs. Zero healthcare experience but a decent TEAS score. They were really great at the info session about stressing the importance of seeing the individual as a whole. In other words, no one aspect of your application will make or break you. I was really worried about not having any experience in the field and no chance for an interview but felt a little more at ease after the info session.

I think they do these letters in chunks (from what others in the past have said). The deposit is due Jan. 22, so it doesn't look like our group will be waiting as long as some groups in years past which is nice. Good luck to you!

Hi, everyone! I received my acceptance letter today :) Super excited! I knew once I opened my mailbox and saw the big white envelope that I got in. Good luck to everyone else who is still waiting for their letter/status change online.

Still nothing. In the portal, under Application Status, it still says: "This application is complete"

I can't help but think this may be bad news, especially since it seems like many people received acceptance letters nearly 2 weeks ago. Has anyone spoken to admissions? Anyone in the same boat? Its taking everything in me not to call and ask!
