UMass Boston Accelerated BSN Summer 2017

[kcarroll301]

Hi Everyone!

Was wondering if anyone applied for the ABSN spring 2017 cohort at UMass Boston. It would be great to hear from other people about your pre requisites and experience. Hope to hear from you!

Congrats to everyone who made it in! I am currently waitlisted and was wondering if anyone knew about how many people were on the waitlist or had any additional information about how that process works. Thanks!

Hi @kelsmcc, I was waitlisted as well. I don't have any information about the size of the waitlist, and when I asked, Admissions wouldn't tell me. I guess that makes sense. A friend who is currently in the program told me that people got off the waitlist last year as late as May. I guess we'll see! Good luck!

Hey there everyone; Im Lucas, I just found this forum when I was googling the start dates and general information about the program. I got my acceptance letter earlier this month, on my birthday of all days. Coming in with a Contemplative Psychology degree concentrating on the psychology of health and healing from Naropa University. Figured I'd post and say hi considering some of us are to be classmates.

anyone on the waitlist hear back?

Hi guys - I'm currently on the wait list and haven't heard anything. I was accepted at Simmons, though, so I'm no longer stressing like crazy. I'm not sure if there's any sort of order to the wait list at UMB, does anybody have insight into this?

[MightyLiz]

Hey guys - I GOT IN! Totally pumped and can't wait to get this show on the road. Is there a Facebook group to join with other accepted students?

[KatieS1]

Congrats! Can I ask how they contacted you about coming off the wait list?

[MightyLiz]

@KatieS1 I got a phone call! Would love to connect with other accepted students - is there a Facebook group to join?

Hi @MightyLiz, I can go ahead and create the group, if you like. As far as I know, one hasn't been created yet, but it's been talked about here.

[nursemarcio]

In order to invite you, and others, please provide FB first and last name...or email you use with FB, though I'm not sure what the protocol is for posting email addresses here on allnurses...maybe like nursemarcio AT gmail DOT com, for example. That's mine.

[MightyLiz]

I'm lizvinciATgmailDOTcom - looking forward to meeting you all.

Hey @LP2017 (Lucas), Congrats on getting in! You (and others) can join the newly created FB Group "UMass Boston ABSN Class of 2018". If anyone would like to assist in managing it, please let me (nursemarcioATgmailDOTcom) know. Looking forward to meeting you all! :)
