University of Michigan 2016 Accelerated Second Degree BSN

PaulaB5687 · Mar 21, 2016

Hi there! I applied for a Fall 2016 start. I'm hoping for the best. I don't know much about how many people tend to apply or how many are accepted. I'm hoping we hear back in May sometime!

Hi! I went to an info session in November. The last cohort had 48 students, and they usually get around 300 applicants, if I recall correctly--pretty low acceptance rate! It looks like in 2014, people found out at the very beginning of May. Fingers crossed we hear sooner rather than later!

Hey everyone! Has anyone heard anything from Michigan yet? I'm currently abroad and don't think I've received any emails...

Benni84 · Apr 6, 2016

Nothing yet! I haven't wanted to be that guy who bugs them for info, so hopefully they stay on the same schedule as in the past. I didn't apply until just before the deadline (in spite of a long period of planning) b/c I compulsively revised my essay 1,000 times. The good news about that is that now I'm not excessively anxious about finding out b/c I haven't been waiting too long since submitting my app.

Hello again, I got an email on April 7th asking for an updated status about my prerequisites! I still have 4 incomplete prereqs that I was planning on completing this summer so I have a feeling they won't like that very much.... Anyone else heard more?

Benni84 · Apr 15, 2016

What exactly did they ask? Were they unclear on how/when you were planning to complete them? I actually talked to them recently about my prerequisites (although I initiated the conversation) b/c I had to change something on the prerequisite form (just where I plan to take Pathophysiology). If it makes you feel any better, I am currently taking A&P, Organic/Biochemistry, Developmental Psychology, Statistics, and Nutrition, and am registered to take Patho, Microbiology, and Family Communications over the summer. So I'm missing A LOT of the classes at present! I went to an info session in November at which they said it didn't matter if you hadn't completed all the coursework, so long as you had a plan for how to get it done. My situation is on the pretty extreme end of that, but I'm keeping hope alive. I have all A's in the classes I've already taken, as well as the ones I'm taking now (a fact that I managed to slyly slip into my essay, but they'd have to just take my word for it).

I dunno. I waiver between feeling like they'll see me as a super great candidate to feeling like I haven't completed enough coursework for them to give me serious consideration. The good news is that they consider everything about applicants and don't just use an overly simplistic points system like some schools. On the bright side, they did email to ask you something, which has to be a good sign. If they thought you sucked, they probably wouldn't bother!

Hi all. I applied for the program too and I haven't hear back yet I got an email from them a few weeks ago saying that they're in the final stages of the application process and that I should keep the dates for orientation in June and some training sessions in August free. Did anyone else get an email like that? I just assumed the sent it to everyone.

Benni84 · Apr 30, 2016

I got that email as well. There was a thread on here for the last cohort in 2014 and the first person who responded to say they'd received an acceptance email did so on April 30! I would certainly think we'll hear this week--hopefully early in the week. I've been compulsively checking mine lately as is.

If anyone hears anything, please reply to this thread as soon as you can to let us all know!

I hope getting that email is a good sign :up: and I hope we find out sooner my birthday is this week so hearing some good news would be the best birthday gift ever. Fingers crossed!

Has anyone heard anything back yet? I'm dying of anticipation!

Benni84 · May 7, 2016

Me too! I've emailed with them this week to give them my grades for the semester, but all they've said is "admissions decisions will be released shortly." I am dying to find out!!!!
