UMSON BSN FALL 2017

OrthoNurse30, RN · Apr 20, 2017

My situation is really complicated. My prereqs will expire this year. I have bachelors in biology. I went to med school and then withdrew in 2014. I don't know how they calculated my GPA from med school but my GPA from bachelors is 4.0 and my TEAS score is 91.3%.
I will definitely keep you posted on how it goes at the open house.

Thank you :-)

I am also waitlisted for Baltimore. I have been trying to contact them to talk about it but no luck. Please keep us posted on Open House and what they have to say about the waitlisted applicants. Thanks!

I called them today. There is NO number/ranked for people who have status as "Wait Listed" and all the waitlist will get evaluate again when the seat available.

Hi everyone! I am applying for the RN to BSN program and have a question about the student ID number for the recommendation letters. When do they give you a student ID number, is it as soon as you submit the application? How can I submit the forms if I do not have one?

Thank you!

@wannabeagreatRN I had a difficult time getting that when I applied. If i remember correctly, I did not get a student ID (the @ number) when I initially applied. After calling many times, I got through to someone who looked up my name and told me that my application had gotten stuck in the system, and I guess that meant it wasnt fully processed so I wasn't assigned a number. After they "manually" pushed my app through I remember finally seeing a student ID on my online app summary. I applied as a guaranteed pathway student so I did not have to deal with letters of recommendation, although I think they might say to add your student ID on all supporting documents - I did not because I didnt have one. It didn't affect my acceptance at all (I am provisional admit) but in general, my advice for the application supporting documents is to be diligent about checking your app summary. If you know you sent in a document and you dont see it on there, call them!!! They manually add everything (so I am told) and I had to call a few times to make sure they got everything. Hope that helps!

This wait is torture. Can I ask your stats?

Good academic and professional recommendations (although I'm not sure if they actually read the professional letters)

Do waitlisted students need to send an updated transcript of classes at the end of this semester?

OrthoNurse30, RN · Apr 25, 2017

I think that you should send an updated transcript. They can keep it on file, so they can defer the application to Spring 2018. If they won't pull us from waitlist this semester.

I went to open house last Saturday. They basically said the same thing. They did not give me a # on wait list pool. Just said, if seat becomes available, they would reassess all of the applicants. So, make sure you guys send your updated transcripts if anything has changed. Also, if this is the first time you are applying and you have been waitlisted, you can go ahead and apply for the next semester without having to pay the application fee. Fingers crossed!!!
