Hi Everyone!

I know that it’s super early, but the application JUST opened up this past Saturday February 1st, so I thought I’d start up a thread.

I submitted my application on the 1st and I’m wishing all of you the best of luck!

@Anuunu no problem! Okay, that isn't too bad. Yeah, I hate when schools have a “decision date” when they send them out? Also, is biochem required??^

No, it’s not required.

no I was just a dumbass who was on a pre-med track in college and didn't quit and change to do something else when it was ruining my GPA.

if I only had done an english major with nursing prerequisites....I could have easily 3.7-4.0 cumulative GPA RN, easily get accepted into a lot of nursing schools and had a much more fun college experience...

oh well no point in ruminating on the past...whats done is done...

I've decided I'm going to apply anyways because the worst that can happen is that they reject me (which I'm prepared for LOL). I don't have anything to lose.

With the amount of credits I've taken, I would need to take 27 credits with straight As to bring my GPA to 3.0 which simply isn't feasible for me at this point.

Me getting in would be like winning the lottery LOL...but hey my nursing prereq grades are good and people DO win the lottery sometimes

Oh man, 27 credits is a bit much. Good luck! Also, check nursingCAS to make sure they calculate your GPA correctly. After you submit your application, you can download it to view your GPA.

Hello, is there a facebook page for the 2021 cohort?

Did you ever find out if there is a fb group?

Hi everyone,

For anyone who may have gotten accepted or already applied - did you include a heading in your personal statement or put your name on the top? There are no instructions about the format so I have no idea if I should include my name or not. I'm using Times New Roman 12pt font and 1 inch margins but aside from that I'm a little unsure.

Thank you!!

Hello to everyone here & CONGRATS to everyone who has already been accepted!

I will be applying here as well, but will be a little closer to the deadline than the people who have been applying up to this point....I really like that UM has rolling admissions!

I didn't know what to put either. It seemed like most advice on other forums/website advised not to put anything on it, so I did not put a title or my name on it.

Same. I used the same format as you but did not add a header. I couldn’t find anything about it online. You should be good.
