Umass Boston Acceptance

[owenc]

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.

Owen- have you checked the UMass Boston site today?? I don't know what to make of it but I checked and it said a decision has been made and that I will be notified but it doesn't say if I was accepted or not. :-(

Mine says the same thing! When was the last time you checked this site ? The last time I checked was the day I got offered an interview so I am wondering WHEN they changed that ... have you checked it recently?

YIKES! I wonder if that means we'll get an e-mail soon since they mentioned that they will NOT be sending the decesion through snail mail to save on paper.

Owen- I check it daily and it didn't say this yesterday. I don't know what to make of it but I'm crossing my fingers.

Does anyone else show this on their admission status???????

I got my acceptance letter today!!! I'm so excited....finally what a relief. I was a little thrown off because I thought I'd get an email first before the letter (as they stated at the interview). I haven't heard from the other schools yet but I think this might be the best choice for me.

Has anyone else heard anything??

NeNe25 Congratulations!! Well done.

OMG NENE CONGRATS!!!!!

I thought we were going to get an acceptance E-MAIL TOOOO!

Yikes!! Do you live nearby hahah maybe 'cause I'm in Quincy I will get a letter today??

I'm LITERALLY going to DIE. I may leave work today early to see if I get a letter.

Thanks guys! I know exactly how you feel this has been so crazy!!! I know some people got their rejection letter last Monday so if you haven't gotten one yet I'd take it as a good sign. I do live nearby so you should be getting something soon. I don't know what's going on with the email...thought I'd get one but got a letter instead.

The deposit is only $200 and is refundable if you change your mind. I think I'm going to go ahead and accept. I'm still waiting to hear from Simmons, Mass College Pharmacy & Health Sciences, and Salem State. I'm waitlisted for MGH but god knows how many people are waitlisted.

GOOD LUCK!!!!!!! LEt me know what happens.

Thanks for your quick reply nene.

Wow you're right - I haven't received a rejection letter yet so maybe this IS a good sign.

I'm so glad for you and so nervous for me. If I get in I will be DEF accepting so we will be classmates!

Looks like I won't know anything until 6:15 tonight

Nene,

Do you know if the people that got their rejection letters this past Monday had interviews ALSO? Or were those people just plain rejected from the beginning.

Sorry to bother you with this ... and be suuuper annoying
