UMSON Fall 2014

Published

Deadline is set - February 3, 2014

Who is applying?

Hi All! I've been reading this for a while, and just now joined! :)

I have a question for anyone who might know... I applied for Fall of 2014, and soon after I submitted everything, my mother passed away unexpectedly at the beginning of February. I am doingwell under the circumstances, but I am also incredibly nervous at the idea of undertaking a rigorous course of study while grieving. Does anyone know about deferring acceptance in the nursing program or if that is a possibility? I haven't talked to the school yet because I don't even know if my application will be accepted, but the question has been on my mind so I figured I'd go ahead and ask here.

Good luck to everyone else waiting to hear! :)

I'm so sorry for your loss. I don't know the answer to your question, but I wanted to say as someone who has experienced the lose of a parent (my father died just before I entered college) I would personally advise you to take time away from school, whether you can defer the time or not. I made the mistake of continuing my education because I thought it would be a great distraction. Geez, I was sooo wrong! My freshman year in college was HORRENDOUS (worst GPA in my academic career); dealing with a lost parent was harder then I could have possibly imagined and I'm still dealing with the ramifications even now, and I wish everyday I had taken time away from school. Take your time, mourn, reflect, enjoy your time with your family...school isn't going anywhere....just my 2 cents.

Hi Husky2011! I applied to Shady Grove as well. Hopefully, we will soon be classmates, instead of competitors! Then we can get to know each other, so we won't be in a room full of strangers at orientation.

In the words of Tom Petty, "...the waiting is the hardest part..."

Hey everyone, I just noticed the "accepted students" portion of UMSON's website has been updated. The greeting now reads something along the lines of "Congratulations on your acceptance to the Fall 2014 BSN program". Perhaps this is a good sign that decisions will being going out sooner rather than later. They've already posted orientation information as well. What a tease!

I'm hoping we hear something by Friday! My friend who applied to the dental school got a call this past Friday so hopefully it won't be too long for us!

Unhand me sir, I have no advice but sorry for your loss!:D

I am dying to find out. Luckily I have been busy but it still doesn't stop me from checking my status. Hopefully we'll all have good news tomorrow or next week.

Hey guys! Just wanted to give people a head's up that I'm in the 2+2 program at UMCP and I got my call today! So you guys should be hearing really soon, good luck to everyone!

Congrats BHoltz! That must be invigorating to finally hear the voice say, "you're in".

For those who don't know 2+2 students are those that do their pre reqs at Univeristy of Maryland Baltimore County and are guaranteed acceptance upon transfer to UMSON (granted their gpa etc meets UMSON's stringent min. requirements)

That being said if BHoltz got a call looks like the regular applicants notices are just on the Horizon. Perhaps Husky2011's guess at April 11th will prove true! Monday is my guess, so they don't break it up over the weekend, but you never know. I hope everyone here gets called today! Haha!
