My name is Christina Smith! I know I started this thread a little soon, but I am sure others are just as anxious as I am about applying! I have submitted my application for the spring 2016 program I just want to post some background information about myself, and anyone who has been accepted to previous semesters can share some insight with me if the wish!
I have a 3.9 GPA. My science gpa is as follows:
A: A&P 1
A: A&P 2
B Micro (Which was taken in 5 weeks, do they view the length of the semester?!)
I have gotten As in all of my other courses, and just need algebra and chemistry (which I am taking together this fall.)
I have been a CNA for 2.5 years, and have worked as a med tech for 14 months, and have recently been employed by Carroll Hospital as a MED/SURG PCT.
I have not taken my TEAS, but have purchased a study guide and plan to STUDY STUDY STUDY!!
I was accepted into my community college's ADN program, but I want to step outside my comfort zone and head towards my dream school. I am so nervous!!!!!!!!!
So I have a friend who currently attends UMSON at Shady Grove (this is her first semester) and for those who are applying there, she offered a small glimmer of hope. She said they are starting to accept more students than they have before this semester due to the school's growth. The information session I attended said the average number of accepted students was around 56? But apparently, from what my friend told me, the number of accepted students might be looking upward towards 65-68 applicants this time around. Not a huge difference, I know, but it's something:yes:. Just thought I'd share this small piece of information with you guys! And hopefully I accurately recalled what she told me!!
thank you! @kayrock!! that sure does give me some hope! =)

Hey everyone! I ended up getting an 86 on my teas which made me so excited! I scored a 98 on math and a 92 on science. The waiting is going to kill me. I hope I have a good chance! Seems like everyone is going for shady grove!

Great job emking! I think I read somewhere that math is one of the sections they tend to focus on when looking at appliations so a 98 is an awesome score. I know what you mean by the wait killing you... I only recently stopped excessively checking my application status but I guess the good news is we have possibly a month and some change left until we get the verdict. I mean considering when this thread first started, that is... doesn't seem so far now, right?
Oh my GOSSSSHHH. Time is flying yet dragging at the same time. I need some encouragement!!!! I am currently taking Chemistry and I am drowning!! I have no motivation and I am never like this! I am trying so hard to push along but I just want to hear back from Maryland I am doing fine in the class, but everyday is a struggle just getting my books out! I have never been like this and I know it is just a funk Come on guys...We can do this!! We made it this far!!!
I'm getting more and more restless as days go by. My application still says complete and ready for review. I know we still have some time before we find out but it's killing me. Has anyone applied to any other schools?
I only applied to UMB! I probably should have applied to others but I really want to attend Maryland (plus it is significantly closer to home compared to the other schools around the area)
Anybody here who applied to Fall 2015 and were waitlisted? I let my application roll over to the Spring 2016 and am anxiously waiting! I pray I get it this time :) I just finished my CNA and GNA course and I added that to my resume. I hope that helps me out a little bit. I also finished up last semester with all A's, so I'm praying that helps my GPA some!
My problem is that when I log onto surfs, I can't see my status of application. Nothing even shows up! I called last week about it and they said they were working on it. But some of you first time applicants are able to look at your status. I'm so confused! Any one in the same boat as me?
