UMass Global ABSN 2022 - San Diego

Published

Hello everyone! I am a current LVN that applied for UMass Global's ABSN program back in December to meet the February 15th deadline. Acceptance letters/denials are supposed to go out next week and somehow one other student I applied with for Summer 2022 both got emails today saying that the shortage of clinical sites has caused them to postpone the cohort to Fall 2022 and that our application would be moved to the application period (boo emoji).

 

They didn't mention if we would have to now compete with the students applying for Fall 2022 or if we would still get acceptance letters and be postponed to start in Fall 2022. Anyone else get that same email today and got clarification from their nursing coach or enrollment coach?

Same I talked to my academic advisor as the email was very confusing basically all that applied for Summer cohort got denied as they have pushed previous applicants to Summer and cannot accept any NEW applicants. My coworker just graduated from there in December and also said they have a shortage of instructors and clinical sites. I think I dodged a bullet tbh. If it's gonna be this complicated never mind, they need to get their things together

This makes me very nervous for the Summer cohort taking place May 2023 if they're having shortages of clinical sites which I suspected and now seeing that their NCLEX pass rates are in the 50s ?. 

Best of luck hopefully with the denials they can actually fix their mess because how are they accepting new applicants when the already accepted are having such a hard time. They need to smooth that out before opening applications again. They shouldn't have wasted new applicants time if they weren't sure. But like I said hopefully this slows them to fix things for new cohorts
