University of Miami Accelerated BSN Summer 2015

@kirilova Yay awesome! I think some of the apartments can be $1,000+ per month. Pricey to me! I already live in a house in Miami with my boyfriend, I don't live in Coral Gables though, but I live close to it.

@Aggio Those are great stats, I got in with not as good stats. (3.47 cumulative, 3.62 pre-req, and also had to repeat a pre-req since I had a C-). I think AC is a person some people have talked to. I don't know who I talked to honestly, I just asked to talk to someone for the Accelerated BSN program and she was helpful and I also just called the general nursing number. And yes apparently they can see your app before it is verified but I think only if it's complete and just awaiting transcripts and verification. Good luck!!

Hi I just got accepted for May 2015!!! So excited!! We should create a FB page!!

@Aggio

Your stats sound good! It might work to your advantage that you graduated from UF, since UM may be familiar with the curriculum.

As for verification, I think that part comes from NursingCAS. Either UM sees your app, and I think it's just a waiting game now. Although i don't think you have to wait as long as we did, since school starts in May and they need to give applicants enough time to get their stuff together.

Oh my goodness! That is expensive!! I think I'll try looking for an apartment between the main campus and medical campus. How is the traffic there?

Tried creating a FB group but wasn't sure who to add to create a group?? Lol. Anyone else wanna give it a shot?

@kirilova Well traffic can be bad at times.. But there's a lot of side streets and different routes to take depending on where you live (as long as there aren't too many lights lol). U.S 1 (South Dixie Hwy) is the main road right by UM and can be pretty bad though at the wrong time of day. But if you're used to living in a city with traffic, it shouldn't be that big of a deal.

Hey! So I created a Facebook page for our class :) :)

It can be found by searching,

"UM ABSN Twenty-Fifteen Summer"

Congratulations fellow classmates!!! ^,^

@Lunarious_Nuit sent you the friend request!! Can't wait to meet you all soon!!!

I was supposed to hear back by the end of this week according to ---------------, but nothing in the mail yet Hopefully I find out soon!

Also, @Lunarious_Nuit, you should create a facebook "group page" instead of a person's page because it would allow you to make it a members only page. Also, it allows members to do a bunch more stuff on the group page and lets people receive notifications after page activity. That's what all the past cohorts have created and it seems more efficient :) Thanks for taking the time to make a page, looks super cute! Hopefully I'll be a part of it soon

Hey! Sorry, I wasn't sure how to make a group Facebook page, but I just played around with it and created a group page (successfully I hope, I'm not Facebook tech savy, so any advice on what else I need to adjust our class's page lemme know!) : :up:

Also Krysty0214, you don't have to wait for snail mail to inform if you got in, if you check your messages on Canelink, there it has an electronic copy of exactly what is sent via snail mail :)

@Lunarious_Nuit Wahoo! Was able to join! :) Thanks for creating the group! Also my Canelink didn't update until after I got my snail mail O.O
