Timeframe for acceptance?

[MBrickle]

Hi all!

I applied to the online RN-BSN program at UTA for the Feb 25th start. I submitted my application last week (which has been received according to MyMav.) I mailed out my transcripts via certified mail and they arrived last Friday, ahead of the January 14th deadline.

How long did it take from the time you submitted a complete application to when you heard about your acceptance?

Also, how do they deal with transfer credits? My first go-around in college I ended with a 3.0 but had many C's, whereas in nursing school I graduated top of my class as I have graduate school admissions on my brain. Do the course grades get transferred? The GPA from the course? Or both? Or neither - as I know that's the more traditional way of doing things.

I'm hoping the transfer courses l need are all ones I did well in or else I will re-take them at UTA so the poor grades of my past life aren't carried over and reflected on my transcript.

Thanks!

I posted this under my other tab but Im hoping for a faster response here. "Does anyone know how the financial aid process works? Does it happen pretty swiftly post Fasfa? are they prompt/ Can I look fwd to loans being approved this close to the start date 2/25/13?????? My advisor called me the other day and said she was gonna email a link but I never received it. Advice is welcomed please. Thanks!"

I am actually curious to know the same. I haven't heard any information regarding my acceptance so I haven't begun the process yet. How long did it take you to hear back once you had submitted everything? I'm wondering if I should contact the enrollment specialist I had been dealing with prior to applying or not. I'm impatient :-)

I would think fafsa would let you know if you qualify for aid or not and those payments are given out at certain points in the semester and can go towards tuition. The school is alerted to your financial aid award and they allow you to begin even though the money isn't given out until mid semester since they know you qualified for aid and usually the money can be given right to them. I will know more once I finally begin the process!
