UMDNJ Accelerated BSN Fall 2011

[km3428]

Hey Everyone

I was originally accepted into the Summer Accelerated BSN program but chose to defer my enrollment until Fall 2011. I would love to connect with people who will be attending the same program. Maybe we could connect via facebook or this site and create a support group.

Waiting to hear from my future classmates!

Yes, the Admissions department is the worse, in my opinion. School starts in 2 weeks, so I could easily say that you were most likely deferred to the Spring 2012 semester, but I've heard of people being accepted a few days before school starts (due to someone terminating their acceptance). Wait for the email to find out.

I had applied for the Fall 2010 semester and called and emailed them like crazy, to find out they "lost" some of my info, making my application incomplete and was deferred to the Spring semester. I wouldn't have found this out if I hadn't been OCD on the calling.

Thank you so much for replying!! I have been calling like crazy too and the last time they just told me to be patient so I gave it a week hoping I would hear from them soon. From what I heard the orientation was today and not having received anything by now I had lost all hope but the guy asking me if I was okay with classes starting in September has given me some hope again but I really don't want to jump into any conclusions...I really want to be in this program so badly!

Here is something that should at least put your mind at ease. If you didn't get a rejection letter, then you're in the program. It's just a matter of will it be this September or January 2012. I thought orientation had already passed for the already accepted students, but like I said people could change their mind and decide to no longer attend UMDNJ, opening the door for someone else to take their place. For him to ask you if you could start this September could mean there was an unexpected opening. However, if that's not the case and you get deferred to Spring, I would advise you to take Pharmacology during your spare time. It's cheaper at the CC and will be transferred over. Trust me when I say, taking one less class is not only good tuition wise, but allows you time for the remaining subjects that require lots of your time. Good luck!

Ah Thank you again! That definitely did put my mind at ease! I called again (yea I'm OCD too ) to ask when exactly I will get an e-mail and he said I should receive one by tomorrow! Fingers crossed!! Thank you so much again for taking your time to reply to the post! :) You have a great day!

@crmathew

i also just got accepted this past week. YES, lots of scrambling to do with paperwork and all. Then have to secure some funds. Fun stuff! Anyone have an idea how big the cohort is, being that it's the first time there's a Fall group?

Hi,

Does anyone know when we should get the acceptance letter for Spring 2012? The deadline is september 7, I submitted everything last week. Is it kinda late?
