University of Michigan (UofM) Accelerated program

[LovinbeingaMommy]

Hi everyone!!! I am new to allnurses.com - I was wondering if anyone has applied for the Fall 2009 accelerated program? I have not been able to attend an information session due to scheduling conflicts. Does anyone know how many people apply to the program or know any "insider" info? I know that 50 people get in every year - I just submited my application last week for the early response deadline - good luck to all!!

FYI: they assume UofM alumni are attending and WA shows the message that *nurse* saw (I'm assuming you have attended UofM in the past?).

Otherwise, historically, if you are not a past UofM student, you need to click on a link and accept or decline your acceptance or waitlist status.

I figured I'd just shout that out in case some of you wonder why *nurse* got that message while others may see something slightly different and need to click a link. Congrats to all, again! So happy for you!

My status hasn't chagned...

One of my friends got waitlisted today and another hasn't heard anything either so it looks like there will be at least one more round of decisions going out. Still keeping fingers crossed for everyone still in the dark!

I got my acceptance today too :) sooo happy and relieved.

And as a U of M alumni, I can vouch for the fact that they just automatically accept us and it says "you've accepted admission" as opposed to giving us a choice to accept or decline.

For all of those still waiting to hear, good luck!

And for my fellow classmates, I can't wait to meet you guys in July!

I got waitlisted....which means I'll probably be going to Univ of Maryland.

[Pvt. Parts]

I'm on the waitlist.

Which means I'm going to start applying to traditional nursing programs. Congrats to those that got IN!

Did they email you about the waitlist?

[ShannonMFerris]

Sunny2234 have you called admissions at all to check your application status? I just called today and some of my transcripts were missing. They told me to call back the middle of next week after my transcripts I resent arrive for more info....

[iamlordinfamous]

Yes, they emailed me about the waitlist

[aly_kathleenRN, BSN]

i was waitlisted too.

I was wondering if anybody else here is from out-of-state and can speak about how much tuition/cost-of-living in the Ann Arbor area is like? When I looked here http://ro.umich.edu/tuition/full.php#Second_Nur I am uncertain if the $21k is for the entire year or just a semester or something else.

And because this is a second degree program, not much else in terms of financial aid from the federal government. Except loans. hahaha

Congrats to everyone else!
