UMass Boston accelerated BSN 2013

U.S.A. Massachusetts

Published

Hi all,

I saw a topic for people that applied last year, but wanted to start a new one for everyone applying this year. Still a long time until the application deadline, but I have some questions I hope others might be able to answer:

1. Has anyone that's applied before sent extra rec letters? I think they said something about this during my info session, but I can't remember. I don't want to just make them think I wasn't paying attention to the requirements.

2. Does anyone know the translation service they said to use for non-English transcripts?

Thanks! All the info sessions are filled up, or I'd just go to another one!

Good luck to everyone applying

@elizzy17 Thank you - That's incredibly helpful.... and reassuring! I have a friend who recently graduated from the accelerated program at Duke and she emphasized that, in her opinion, one of the biggest strengths of a nursing program is the quality of their clinicals..

I have one other question, if you don't mind my asking.. How was the financial aid process with UMass Boston? I realize as a second bachelors there isn't much aid available, but so far (and I understand it's quite early) the financial aid office hasn't been able to give me any understanding of what, if any, aid might be available...

Just got accepted to MGH - hopefully that opens up a spot for one of you hopefuls on the wait list! Best of luck to everyone.
