REMINDER!!! The deadline to submit your Fall application is nearing. As of now, the deadline has not changed from February 2 (short of 4 weeks away).
This is my second time applying--I was wait listed for the Spring term. Currently, I am studying to take my TEAS exam again on January 27th. This exam was the only portion of my application I was not confident in. I scored a 70% without refreshing my memory on key concepts by studying before hand. I did find the test to be a "you either no it or you don't" kind of thing so from personal experience--STUDY!
I have no outstanding prerequisites and my sciences are as follows:
AP1. -- B
AP2. -- A
CHEM -- B
MICRO -- A
I had the privilege of chatting with the last group of students and found this forum to be quite helpful! Please use this post as a way of communicating, sharing experiences, and giving advice. Hopefully, we will be classmates in the Fall!:)
Anxiously waiting and hoping praying to still get an interview. ..FNP Track...good luck to those also in the waiting game and congrats to those so farr!!!!
1. Status doesn't signify much. I've seen applicants on 3 application cycles remain at "complete, ready for review" or "committee ready" right up until they got the phone call to tell them they've been accepted. Try to not sweat it!
2. If you have been accepted to other colleges, go ahead and put the money on the sure bet. Last fall, I was accepted to Towson, so I sent in my deposit money while still waiting for the decision from UMSON. I had to go ahead and do this, in case I didn't get accepted to UMSON. I know money is a precious commodity for us students, but it was worth it to lose a few hundred dollars, just to ensure I would be going to nursing school somewhere. Trust me, it is better to lose your deposit because you got accepted into more than one school, than it is to pass it up, only to not be accepted by any additional school. As I always tell my kids, "Keep every door open. Leave your options open so you can have a choice.
Also, everyone told me, "Nursing school changes you. It changes the way you think." But no one could really describe what that meant. I have been on spring break for the past week. Since I have had time to be myself away from school for a week, I am now seeing how my thinking, perspective, and mindset have changed for the better, even just seven weeks into it. A positive paradigm shift! I see, too, why they had a hard time describing it. The best way I can explain it is that problems now seem manageable, not insurmountable. I assess situations quicker than I used to. (I was already good at people assessment, but found many situations overwhelming.) I say to myself, "What is going on here? What needs resolving? How can I resolve it?" And then I get it done. I don't half-a** things like I used to, even if it's just dishes. I am better at prioritizing. There's more, but it is hard to describe, but I feel it. Now it makes sense why people kept telling me that nursing school changes you. I can only imagine how much more I will grow, as I enter clinicals and continue on in school. It is a very satisfying feeling, to grow as a person. I hope that you will get the decisions you want. I wish you so much luck in nursing school, and I wish for you the opportunity to experience this personal growth.
Ah man I was hoping we would hear back the first week of April and now we might have to wait till mid April. LET US KNOWWWW we wanna be nurses alreadyyy :D:D
Hi, I'm applying for the BSN program for Spring and I've been getting impatient, which led me to this thread.
I have a 3.55 GPA, and if you don't count some old courses from almost 10 years ago, then I have a 3.83. A's in all the sciences except Chem, which I am currently taking.
92%/99th percentile on 1st attempt at TEAS.
18 months of experience as a CNA in a LTCF.
People are telling me not to worry, but that's not working. I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one who is still stuck at "Complete Ready for Review," and that it could possibly go from that straight to a phone call. I would not have known that there is a "Committe Ready" status if it weren't for this thread. By the way, does anybody know what the status reads if you are turned down? Is it DENIED, DECLINED, REJECTED, DREAM ON?
My application was in on time, but one of my letters of recommendation had to be resent, and so my application was not marked as complete until Feb. 13th. I see that someone else had to resend one of their letters - how do they lose something like that? Did it get thrown in the trash? Is it under somebody's desk?
I also applied to Towson, but I haven't from them yet either. So it may be mid-April for UMSON? Eh.
Thanks to everyone who has posted here; I've found a lot of great info!
:D:D
