University of Maryland Traditional BSN Fall Program: Any idea when we will hear back?

Published

I was wondering if there was anyone out there that applied last fall that could tell us when they learned the fate of their application? I was just wondering how long we (Fall 2009 applicants) would have to wait until we hear back from the admissions office. Thanks and good luck to everyone else!

Thanks Agrippa. That gives me a pretty good idea of the financial aspect of it. I believe my grants will cover most if not all the tuition and fees and the VA covers my health insurance so I don't think I will need the Hospitalization insurance. Thanks again for your help.

About the NET, how far in advance can you take it? I didn't see that info on the college website.

Also, can you be in your last semester of school when you apply for the SON, so that there isn't a semester lag between? For example, If I apply Fall 2010 for the Spring 2011 semester, the deadline is September 2010. I would still be taking my prereq classes. I would have them completed by the Spring start date. Can that be done? Or would I have to wait to apply for the Fall 2011 semester?

At the time of application, you must have completed 2 of your 4 science pre reqs. But the remaining pre-reqs must be completed with at least a B.

I took the NET before I even applied. It is pretty straight forward if you know what you will be up against. I bought the study guide from the company that made the test and it was exactly what was on it. I think i made it in the 99th percentile - which sounds great but is really no big deal considering that the SAT's were harder.

If you'd like to pick up my study guide, ill sell it at a discount. Just PM me.

Yup, pearson.

Also, does anyone else think these "clickers" for pathopharm are a bit of a novelty? I mean, this really seems totally unnecessary. These clickers are $55!!!

I mean, sure it may have it's advantages over other simple and free methods such as a show of hands (like anonymity), but c'mon, in our current economic climate, I think that this Professor should be a bit more mindful. Especially because the level of financial aid I got wasn't really quite adequate.

PS. I found that you can get the clicker cheaper online directly through Turning Point.

Furthermore, couldn't the school just buy a few sets of these and keep them in each class for us to use? Do we ALL really need to get our own?

I forgot to buy mine when I went out there to get the rest of my stuff..... The professor might use it as a grade..... When I went to Salisbury the teachers would ask questions in class and it would count as part of your test grade
