UMB Spring 2012

Published

Hello! I am in the process of applying for the spring 2012 semester at the Baltimore campus!! I didn't see any threads out there yet for people who are applying so I figured I'd start one :) Feel free to share gpa, TEAS scores, etc and any updates on admission!! GOOD luck to everyone!

Okay, this is going to sound like an uber shady question, but I have a legal Rx for adderall that I have been taking since high school and I wrote it down on my student health form....but technically the generic name for it is amphetamine. When they do drug tests they test you for amphetamine. I'm sure I'm not the first one to enter the program with a legal Rx for a particular chemical....would anyone know how I go about handling that? Do I bring my Rx with me when I get drug tested or do I just not take it for a few weeks?

You have a legitimate reason for taking adderall. While it will show up on your test, you will be asked to provide documentation to your clinical sites that you are taking a legal (for you) prescribed drug. These things can be worked out.

I FINALLY got my blood tigers back and it looks like I need to have every shot on the list- despite having chicken pox as a child and multiple MMR vaccines when I was in the Army. :(

My question is, the Hep B series takes 4-6 MONTHS to compoets. Is this going to be a problem for admissione? The student health form says it all needs to be complete for admissions. Anyone know anything about it?

If you had chickenpox, your word on the approximate date is sufficient. You only need the first two Hep B vaccinations before school starts. Just get the third when it is due and you will be fine.

Thanks, Grey Lady! Your help and input on this board are invaluable to many of us! You have just saved me a good chunk of time, in that I don't have to call and pester the Admissions Office or student health office about my vaccines. :)

Grey Lady-

Can you shed any light on the financial aid topic? I need to purchase books. In the past, I've always used my financial aid to do so- does the school offer book store advances? I'll also need to apply for federal loans, do I need to fill out a loan request form (I've signed the MPN for this year already) through the school?

I wish I could help but financial aid is a total mystery for me. There is a UMB Financial Aid office (there is not a separate one for the School of Nursing) and there is also financial aid assistance for Shady Grove students in the Student Services office. Hope they can help you.

I will be starting the MSN CNL program in Jan. too & will be looking for a roommate. I am moving from CA, but I have lived in Baltimore before for over 2 years and I think I would like to live in Federal Hill! Let me know if anyone is interested.

Finally found a CNL candidate. How is your prep coming? I got my letter late, thus am just starting out with taking care of requirements.

Hi all! Is anyone at Baltimore planning on leaving at the on campus apartments offered? I am living in Pascault Row and wondered if anyone knew anything about it or was living there too?

@February11 - So are we going to be classmates? :)

I tried to sign up for an ID but it doesn't let me do that quite yet. I'm just so relieved they finally posted decisions!

@buca04 Thanks for the tip! I was able to see a lot of the classes listed! Many still say "TBA" so it's hard to tell what's what, but it was very helpful. :)
