UMB Spring 2010 Applicants (BSN or CNL)

Published

After following the Fall '09 thread with great interest, I thought it might be time to start a new thread for the Spring '10 applicants since we're inching closer to the Sep 1 deadline. I have a technical question for those who have applied before. I submitted my CNL application online this morning and paid the $50 and now it seems like my application has slipped into a vortex that I don't have access to. When I log onto SURFS to check my status, the only option that it gives me is to submit a new application. Is there somewhere else on the website that I should be looking to confirm that my application has been submitted and is pending review or awaiting additional information (transcripts, recommendations, etc)? Perhaps there is a delay between when the application is submitted and when the status is visible?

Best of luck to all the other applicants...now the agonizing waiting game begins! Looking forward to giving each other support and encouragement on this thread.

also are we just waiting for this packet to come before we can start everything?

Hi Grey Lady,

I too have been accepted but I think I will make someone on the waiting list very happy. You see, I have a 76 average right now in chemistry and I really don;t know if I can break 80 for that B. I can't even celebrate. This is so bitter sweet. Maybe it's just not meant to be for me this semester. But I feel like this is worse than not getting in. Plz pray for me you all! I'm putting everything I have into chem. How did you all pass this darn course?! I'm a 3.8 student and this class really stumped me. prayers plz.

You can do it!! Talk to your instructor, ask him/her for a tutor, study day and night but just do it, don't give up. Once you start nursing school you are going to have to reach way down to come up with the energy, determination and just plain orneriness to get the job done. The admissions process has identified you as someone who has the talent and ability to do it....so move heaven and earth to get there....it IS meant to be and it is in your hands now. And I will pray.

Silvia,

Be honest with your professor. Let him/her know your status and your admittance is contingent upon Chemistry. Also, ask your professor if extra credit is an option. I had a great chemistry professor who gave us extra credit just by going back through our exam(s), identifying questions that we answered incorrectly, why we selected the answer that we did (analyze our mistake), and make suggestions for self-improvement. Perhaps your professor will like this as a suggestion and allow you to do the same.

Good luck. Hang in there. Review, review, & review your weak areas especially if your final is cumulative (all of my science pre-reqs were cumulative:o).

Good luck.

Thanks! great suggestion about the extra credit. i let him know that my status is contingent on chemistry. he believes more in me than i do. he told me not to worry and that i indeed deserved to celebrate. he was very encouraging and said he believed i can do it. what a fabulous network of caring people, luv it!

BTW everyone - I received my package today but remember, I was one of the first CNLs called. So, don't be surprised if you do not get your package for another week or so.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

just keep trying!! i got a c in that class. Lab killed me, i had no idea what i was doing at the beginning! i got at tutor and went to study groups but for the most part, i could only get c's. I don't know how they expected us to learn all the info in such a short amount of time.

you can do it!!!! ask for extra credit also, you never know!
