University of Southern Maine ABSN 2018?

Published

Hey guys,

I applied to USM's ABSN program for the May 2018 start date. It's only been a few weeks, but I'm dying to know if I got accepted.

I had a 3.8 GPA in undergrad and I just finished a CNA course. Are there any current students who can tell me if I'm a competitive candidate for the program?

Anyone else apply and are waiting anxiously for the results too?

What state do you live in? I'm just curious because I'm wondering when I'll get mine. I'm sorry you didn't get in. It's so competitive and I think everyone who applied was more than qualified, but there's so many people for a small number of spots.

Have you received a letter yet? My mail is being forwarded to NY right now (I'm from Maine) and i haven't received anything, yet.

I live in Connecticut and I haven't gotten anything yet. It's torture! I just want to know haha

Nothing in Connecticut either

Maine to CT usually only takes 2 days. Maybe they send out letters in waves? So rejections are sent first? Who knows

Fingers crossed. I'm actually worried because I currently live in Germany. I gave them both my CT and German addresses, but said I'd rather get mail in CT. My mom told me she'd let me know if it arrives in CT and open it. I'm worried they sent it to my German address and it'll take forever to get here!! (Probably my anxiety speaking though)

Yeah I'm sure if you told them you prefer CT then they'll send it there :) I don't blame you for worrying though. I'd be stressed too. I'm already freaking out and I live in the states haha. I hope we know soon

I got an email from the USM financial aid office telling me to apply for financial aid for the 2018-2019 school year. I'm not sure what to make of it since typically schools don't send financial aid info/sign up info until after sending acceptances. I'm not sure if they sent it to everyone who applied, but I don't think that would make sense. Who knows though. But maybe a good sign?

Ha! I was just about to post that on here as well. I got that too and I was wondering about that. I am not sure. On the one hand, the timing does make it seem hopeful, but on the other hand, because it was just a general email reminding people to apply for FAFSA, it might just be a general email they sent to all applicants. That being said, the timing and the phrasing of the email has me feeling (very) cautiously optimistic.

yeah I agree with you. definitely cautiously optimistic

I saw somewhere that they're sending USM absn-msn letters out starting Monday. Maybe it'll be the same for our program.

when did you receive the financial aid email? I never got an email however, i sent my FAFSA back in october to all the schools i applied to so maybe that is why?

I got it on December 8th. I think that was Friday. I'm not sure if it really even means anything at all honestly. You probably didn't get one since you've filed yours!

I got one, too. The same thing happened during the Emory application process. I think the school just automatically sends them out to applicants.
