Umass Boston Acceptance

Published

Hello,

I am a 25 year old female with a bachelor's in Finance. For the past two years I have been working as a Medical Assistant, and have been working on completing my nursing pre-requisites. I finished them at Bunker Hill with a 3.7 gpa. My undergraduate gpa is 3.1. Yesterday I sent in my application to UMB's Accelerated Nursing Program. I think my essay was decent and my recommendations pretty good.

I was wondering if anyone who has applied had any advice/comments about UMB's program.

-When did you hear back for an interview?

-Did people who got an interview ... generally get into the program?

-When did the program start? It says summer but it also mentioned something about May?

-Those of you who were accepted .. how is the program going?

Any comments would be very helpful. Thank you .. I know people are busy.

i would suggest you posting this in the massachusetts forum.

just click on "region" on top of page, then "united states" then "massachusetts".

not familiar w/admissions process at umb, but it is an excellent school.

good luck to you.

Here is post from a person that was admitted to UMass Boston last year.

I believe the summer session starts in May.

You probably noticed that there is a requirement to attend the UMass Boston information session? It looks like the next one is in Feb.

Best of luck to you!! Sounds like you are in good shape, especially having worked as a medical assistant.

Hi Curiosity,

Thanks for your post! I had read that earlier post before, but I guess I was just trying to get a more recent opinion? I did go to the info session, thank you.

Hi,

I got an interview too for this Friday. I'm nervous as well. I have no idea what to expect. I was unable to go to any of the info sessions because I was completing my pre-reqs. If anyone has any suggestions please share....

I'm surprised you were accepted w/o attending the info session, I was told that was mandatory.

I have not heard anything from UMass Boston, I am wondering if they're thru calling people for interviews/finalists. I am assuming I didn't get in since I didn't hear anything. Anyone else heard anything?

In my situation, the info sessions all fell on Tuesday evenings the same day I had classes so it was impossible for me. I applied anyways. I hope you hears something soon. Did you apply anywhere else??

I am kicking myself in the butt....after going to the info session I decided not to apply, I was a bit turned off...... but now I am regretting it! I will def apply next year if I don't get in elsewhere
