UMSON fall 2016 hopefuls ?

kayrock, BSN, RN · May 16, 2016

For those who have been accepted to Shady Grove... is there a Facebook group for you all now? Are there a lot of people in it? I'm just trying to gauge my chances of getting off the Wait List (pathetic, I know haha :sarcastic: ).

Still at "Committee Ready", despite direct correspondences with Ms. Rodriguez regarding an inquiry about my application a few weeks back...

Definitely figured I would have heard something, either way.

I have one more pre-req to retake this summer, and if I am not admitted for this UMSON cycle I may decide to retake it in the fall instead. But, I need to know my status to make the best decision.

I know there are staffing issues, which have surely impacted the notification timeline, but it's really getting to be late in the game...

Yes, there's a group. There's 55 people in it. It's actually been in that range for awhile now

Dang. Chances of getting pulled off are looking slim :/. Thank you for informing us though!

I went to the Baltimore school on Friday the 13th with my friend to drop off papers. I asked the woman if she knew when BSN's would hear something and she said within the next two weeks. I suppose that's the standard response. So let the waiting continue I guess :sorry: Do the Baltimore BSN's have a facebook page and if so does anyone know how many accepted people are on there? Does anyone know how many people are accepted to the Baltimore program?

Aww fingers crossed that you get pulled off the waitlist. Don't lose hope! There's still a good amount of time til orientation so you never know what may happen

@Kayrock I don't know you but my prayer is that YOU specifically get pulled off of the wait list for Fall 2016! I have seen you on this forum encouraging and rooting for others...So know that today I'm praying for your breakthrough to happen!

@diopos96 and @NitRN0916, thank you SO much for your words of encouragement :). While I'm waiting, I have decided to get all my paper work done for my back up school since all I did was prepare for UMSON (my mistake!).

I will say that it's becoming quite obvious that everyone that got admitted thus far really does deserve to be a student at UMSON, you all are so encouraging and positive and will be excellent classmates to each other :)

The 55 people in there are not all new students. Some are administrators and some are current students who like to mentor new ones.

Admissions offices don't make decisions that way. They create wait lists for students who aren't as competitive as the "top students" they give acceptances to. If a student declines their acceptance for any reason then the Admissions people fill the open spot by picking someone on the wait list.

Hello everyone

I've been following this forum for quite sometime. I applied to the CNL program and was getting frustrated too over not hearing about an interview since others had long heard about an admission decision. Fortunately I was scheduled for an interview two weeks ago and again I Anxiously checked about 10x a day to see a decision n I kept seeing committee ready, I almost gave up since I've read others received their decisions less than a week after they were interviewed. Well I checked surfs about 5x already today, last I remember was 12:29pm so I told myself I was going to try and let today go by without checking and possibly call the school if nothing changes by Friday but lo and behold I found myself logged into surfs (since it's almost become automatic) again at 3:39pm and what do I see ðŸ˜³, admit institution whew! I can't believe the wait is over, I nearly gave up especially reading this morning that there's already a Facebook group with over 50 admitted students but I'm here to let you know there's still hope so don't give up. I know it's a long rant but I'm happy n surprised all at once so pardon me. I'm mainly happy because I was admitted last year but couldn't make it and I'm glad I get a do over. Stay blessed and hope to see you all this fall. By the way if there's a CNL Facebook group, kindly send me the link. Thanks.
