UMSON BSN Fall 2013

U.S.A. Maryland

Published

Hello everyone! It's my first time posting on this website. Just wanted to see who else is applying for the BSN program for Fall 2013? Any advice for new applicants? :)

glamourousgirl -1. Shady Grove students go to clinicals all over Montgomery county, a couple in Frederick, a few in DC and even some at UMMS. New ones can come online any time.2. Clinical registrations for either campus are done online (at a later date than registration for classes) and it is basically a lottery. You attempt to register for your first choice and if that one is full you try for second choice, etc. SG students cannot register for Baltimore designated clinicals and vice versa. Unless the system goes down, it's all over in 10 - 15 minutes. 3. The total number of applicants is a meaningless number. Yes, we receive hundreds but a big chunk of those are either unqualified or not serious applicants. I am afraid there is no way to estimate any individual's "chances". Just hang in there - it should not be much longer.

Thank you so much for answering my questions, that was very helpful! The reason why I asked was because I thought that Shady Grove campus only did their clinicals at Shady Grove Hospital since they are the closest hospital to the campus. I am glad to hear that Shady Grove campus does clinicals all over Montgomery County.

I can't believe we find out soon, I am so nervous!

hi all.. I have applied to RN-BSN program for Fall 2013 intake and my online application status was changed to "Committee Ready" about two weeks ago. I got to know they will send out letters in mid April. So hang in there guys and we are almost there.

So I was wondering how the provisional acceptance works? Like do I wait until I get my transcript from this semester to send in all the forms and money? Because I just got the call saying I was provisionally accepted (I assume since I really didn't have many of my pre-reqs doen since I just switched to nursing last semester) and I know I will be getting all A's and B's this semester.

Congratulations! I think you're the first on this thread to post an acceptance notification :) I don't know how the submission of transcripts and monies works, but wanted to offer you my congrats!

CONGRATS!

Are you accepted for the BSN fall 2013?? hope this mean all the acceptance notifications are coming soon

Congrats! Ahhh this is making me so nervous- I'm going to be staring at my phone ALL week. I wonder if they notify in any particular order or if they select randomly on notifications. Anyone know?

No waiting needed! It means that your offer is contingent upon getting Bs or better in your remaining courses. Congratulations! As long as you bring in those As and Bs you are in! You will be expected to submit those last transcripts before Orientation. Don't let up - if a C happens your offer will most likely be rescinded in which case your seat goes to someone on the Wait List.

Hard to say. I think they divide up the list and staff just start calling. If no answer they go on to the next person. The fastest way to find out is to check your status - what you want to see is "Admit Institution" or "Provisional Admits" which means you are in IF your last transcripts to be submitted are all Bs or better. We suspect there are some who know they are going to pull a C and delay submitting that transcript on the theory that there won't be enough time to notify and get in someone on the wait list. All that does is deny a space to a wait list person - it does not create a situation where UM would let that C slide and let that student in to fill the seat. Are there exceptions? Very, very few and the circumstances have to be pretty extraordinary, submitted to admissions, and deliberated on very carefully.

yes it is for the fall of 2013. They called me at like lunchtime today. And thanks everyone :)

So Grey Lady they have finished reviewing applications for both schools and we should all know soon? or this is just a first wave of acceptances?

I was under the impression that all acceptances were made around the same time. My question is: does your status change online before your are contacted by UMSON?
