University of Michigan 2nd Degree Accelerated BSN

Published

Has anyone applied to the University of Michigan's 2nd degree accelerated nursing program for start date Sept. 2014? Just curious to see what other applicants there are out there. I saw a very long thread in the past that had a lot of info on how long UofM takes to make decisions & felt we could all keep each other in the loop on how things are going for each of us. Good luck to all!

Ha! I ran home to look in my mailbox!

Thanks for letting us know, amg92! Hopefully we all hear something soon! Have a good day everyone, and it is almost FRIDAY!

haha yes it definitely began. I applied the day the application allowed submissions so that is why they probably told me quicker. I hope everyone gets in!! good luck :)

I graduated from UofM for my first bachelors degree with a prerequisite gpa of around 3.7/8 but my overall gpa was about 3.4. I got my CNA a year ago and worked at a nursing home for 7 months. I also did home care. I volunteered at Mott children's hospital for about a year and a hospice before that. My sophomore year of undergrad I applied to the sophomore transfer program for nursing and didn't get in so I basically did as much medically related stuff as I could after that!

amg92: when is the deadline they gave you to accept by? I am just wondering if they might release another round of decisions after that.

medunn09: Nope, no response yet today. Did you? Hoping to hear sometime next week.

amg92: Thanks for the info! I had a pretty well-rounded health care experience, including some international medical mission trips, but my pre-requisite GPA was on the low side so hopefully they will consider the "whole picture" as they stated they were going to do.

It was actually a little weird, I didn't see an "accept by this date" anywhere in the email but when I looked at my Umich student page "wolverine access" it said that I accepted admission into the University. I was definitely going to accept regardless but I didn't click anything to do it.

pjane: I think they definitely do look at the whole picture. I think they really like if you have previous experience with volunteer work like you said because just looking at their statistics from previous years, they have a lot of people who have already worked in a healthcare job or volunteered.

amg, did you get your wolverine access when you were accepted or did you have a previous account?
