University of Southern Maine ABSN 2018?

[allisonmcx]

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?

[allisonmcx]

Yeah I just thought the timing was kind of interesting because my then apparently people were starting to find out they didn't get in.

I just looked at the 2017 and 2016 forums for USM's ABSN program. It looks like in 2016 people received letters by December 8th, and in 2017 they received them around Christmas. I would love it if we were in the former's situation!!

Where did you all hear that letters may go out today?

[allisonmcx]

Me too! I want to know before Christmas haha. I saw on the ABSN-MSN option thread someone wrote admissions told them letters were going out the beginning of this week.

I also called today to ask because I was dying to know and Brenda from nursing admissions said the letters would be going out this week but she didn't know exactly when. She said letters go out from the admissions office so I could call them to see if they've been sent. So I called and admissions said no decisions have been made? I'm assuming that Brenda from nursing is correct though.

The minute I hear, either way, I'll post here! Thank you for calling them.

[allisonmcx]

Same here! Hopefully it'll be soon

I am just confused because one poster said they had been rejected, but admissions said letters haven't been sent out yet? Hopefully we all know soon.

I personal messaged the person that said they'd been rejected and she said that she got the rejection was via mail this year. I thought maybe she was talking about last year. Looks like they might have seen mail in waves. Who knows. I think admissions maybe hadn't gotten the nursing school's decisions yet when I spoke to them? I'm not sure. But I'm assuming what Brenda from nursing admissions is correct. At least I hope so because that means waiting will be over soon enough.

[stenoticvalve, BSN, RN]

Hm, interesting. Thank you for calling and keeping us updated. I am not the most patient person when it comes to these types of things, so knowing others are feeling the same is helpful. Fingers crossed for all of us!

[allisonmcx]

I'm right there with you. It's so nerve wracking. I have finals tomorrow and Thursday. Trying to focus on them while knowing we might find out soon has been torture!

So I've been following this feed (I'm an applicant for ABSN 2018 and am waiting to hear whether I'm accepted or rejected). I've gotten no word either way as of yet and I'm assuming because y'all haven't posted any word one way or the other, y'all haven't heard either? Anyway, keeping fingers crossed for everyone here and hoping we hear something soon, because waiting and waiting and waiting really sucks.

[allisonmcx]

Yeah no word yet. I'll post as soon as I hear!
