Ursuline College, Ohio - 2019 ABSN

[NYCBelle]

Hello All!

I wanted to start a thread for the 2019 Cohort Candidates for Ursuline's ABSN Program.

Whether you are applying or have been admitted, perhaps we can share information and questions here. I have not seen a thread for this program yet.

Thanks!

Ursuline does not have a ton of information about the application process on their website. Anybody know how competitive it is? Did you have to put down a deposit to hold your seat? How long did it take to receive an admissions decision?

If you have at least a 2.5 gpa and meet the prereq requirements, your chances of getting in are very likely. What I love about their admission process is they take a very holistic approach when choosing applicants.

Yes, there is a deposit to hold your seat ($250). I received a decision in about 3 weeks.

Same here! I really wish there were student apartment options. The only ones I see are near Cleveland State University.

How much does the program actually cost? I’ve seen differing answers, esp since the tuition for the 2nd degree program is less per credit hour than most of their undergraduate classes.

On the offer letter it said about 37,000 for the entire 15 months.

I really appreciate it. You've already provided more information than their website! ?

Exactly they are all near Cleveland state. Which state are you moving from, if you don’t mind me asking

Same here! I spoke with a current student who said that most of her cohort commutes from about 15-30 mins away. I'm looking at apartments in the Downtown Cleveland and Lakewood neighborhoods, but also considering Smith Hall, which is on campus.

Well that explains so much because I can't find a place close to campus. The prospective places I've seen are all 15-30 mins aways. I think my last option would be to look for an apartment downtown. Did you have any in mind or any suggestions? I've only looked at the Langston near CSU.

[Dom87]

If anyone find any suggestions on housing downtown please let me know also. It’s real hard too since I am moving from California making it harder with the options I have. I am also considering the residential halls now. I know the contract for on campus is due soon and the deadline is July 1st to opt out. It will be great if I get a room or apt.

Would those of you who have been accepted mind sharing your stats?

I’m moving from Baltimore so about a 7 hour drive

Congrats to you as well! As for housing, I recently signed a lease on a one-bedroom apartment in the Mayfield Heights area that I am quite happy with. Good options there and in areas like Shaker Heights and even University Circle... Luckily, my S.O. lives in the Cleveland area and was able to give me a number of helpful suggestions, since I'm no expert!
