Hey Everybody!!!

I just wanted to start a thread to introduce myself and to get to know others who will be beginning the UMDNJ 2nd degree program in the Spring of 2008. Is anybody else starting in the Spring?

Hey Guys,

Okay as far as applying to UMDNJ there aren't any special tricks. As long as you have all application materials, pre-requisites completed, and the patience to put up with the disorganization you will be fine. By the time you start in the fall all of the kinks should be worked out, and the program should be running very smoothly again.

In response to the question about when the program begins. You can begin in Fall, Spring, or Summer. This is one of the perks about this program. You can enroll three times a year, and I hope it helps!!

As far as the personal statement. What do you think they are looking for. How long does it have to be?

If you do your application online there is a limit to the number of characters your personal statement can be. I'm not sure how many characters off the the top of my head, but I had to shorten and condense mines. I believe my personal statement came out to be less than a page. As far as what they are looking for you, only you know why you would like to be a nurse and this is what you put down on paper. Just make sure by the end of them reading your personal statement they are left with a better understanding of your passion for nursing. Oh yeah may I ask why wait until Fall to apply, why not apply for the Summer term? Have you completed your prerequisites?

I have not completed my prereqs. I still have to take Microbiology, A+P2 and Intro to Cem. I am going to take Micro and a+p in the spring

Just received my approval letter. I was worried after hearing about sky high GPA' s and all the competition for each seat in the program... but I think my recent elevated pre-requisite qrades, and a personal statement- which was honest and to the point regarding why I wanted to become a nurse (and how I came to that decision) must have helped. Good luck to all.
