Hello!

Is anyone applying to UMASS Boston to start in September of 2017? I can't wait to submit my application. For the first time in my life, I am wishing for the summer to fly by!

I am applying for the Fall 2017 traditional BSN program and I'm currently studying for the TEAS exam, I'm so anxious!

That's awesome! I just took the TEAS V back in June and it wasn't as bad as I expected. With studying, I'm sure you'll do great! Are you transferring from another school or will you be a first year student? I'm transferring from Bunker Hill.

Yes, I'm also transferring, I did my pre-reqs at Massasoit and I'm extremely nervous about the TEAS VI! But hopefully it won't be too torturous...I'm hopeful though! Did you go to an info-session yet?

No, but I actually just registered to attend the one on August 30th! The good thing about the TEAS VI is that they allow you to have a calculator! When are you taking yours?

Hi! I am also planning to apply for fall 2017! Where did you take the TEAS VI and they really let you use a calculator? thats great!

Hi! I took my TEAS V at Roxbury Community College. For my exam I wasn't able to use a calculator (because I took version 5) but for the new exam they actually let you use one which is great! Have you started the application process yet? Just a little over two months until the deadline! I'm so excited!

No I am not applying anywhere else for nursing. If I dont get in I will finish my Economics degree and then apply to accelerated programs! How about you?

Also, I called the admission office to double check and they said by the beginning of January!! Makes it a little better but still so far away...:(

Good luck to everyone I hope to be meeting you all in the fall!!!!
