MissChloe, I wouldn't stress too much about the timing of the acceptance letters. I've read on previous threads that many people didn't hear back until late December or early January. I bet already being a nursing student at USM stacks the odds in your favor! Good luck and hope to hear from you soon.
Hey, Tank16! I tried to send you a message but because I'm not an "active member" of the site (in that I haven't posted more than 15 topics) it won't let me. Argh!
Hi everyone!
I just found out I got accepted via Maine Street portal. I've been hoping/waiting to see that check mark for months now! The last couple weeks have been pretty nerve racking, especially since I saw online that a few of you heard weeks ago. I'm going to wait to send my deposit until I receive a real letter. I look forward to meeting some of you...in less than six months (mini freak out)!
Congrats, pvd2me! I look forward to meeting you! Well, now that we have 3 reported acceptances perhaps I can try to get a discussion going... I am currently living in New Hampshire and have visited Portland only a few times but from the brief visits I've definitely become impressed with the area and am very excited to move there. After all, Forbes magazine has ranked it as #1 for America's most livable cities! I have not visited USM yet so I don't know anything about the nursing school facilities. Has anyone else seen them and what are your thoughts? What are you guys most nervous about going into this? I am slightly nervous about not having taken Microbiology and hoping that it won't set me back once we begin the coursework. I have completed all of the prereq's and have 2 semesters of Bio and Chemistry each so I hope that this may somehow compensate for not having taken Microbiology.
I had a huge mix-up with my mail hold while I was away last week so I called an adviser to ask if I'd missed a letter. She said they were still making final decisions as of today (1/3) and that the final letters would go out either tomorrow (1/4) or next week (1/7). Just in case anyone else still hasn't heard anything and was panicking like I was!
Hey guys, just wondering if any of you have started looking into housing options yet? May feels like it's just around the corner and I haven't done much to figure out my living situation yet (let alone visit the school...whoops!) I'm taking a trip up to Portland next week to look around and try to get acquainted a bit with the facilities but was wondering if anyone has any tips for housing? Ideally I would like to find a single apartment somewhere, or room with a fellow nursing student-- not that I know such a person... anyone interested? :)
Hello everyone! I am actually accepted into the MSN-Option program starting this May. But, it is my understanding that most of the option program courses are with the ABSN students for the first couple of semesters. So, I thought I would say hi :). Svensson, I am nervous about housing also. I cannot leave Hawaii until May 10 because of contract obligations so I will arrive in portland and hit the ground running. The housing situation is my biggest concern actually. :-/ Please keep me posted on any info you get. I don't know a soul in Maine for obvious reasons so I am in the dark as to areas, decent complexes, etc.

Hi all,
Just curious if there's a presence on this board for newly accepted USM ABSN students or people applying to the program? I got my acceptance letter last week and want to chat with people about what we're in for! I'd love to get a discussion going, as I don't actually know much about the program (yet) but will be sending my deposit in today. Hope to meet some of you soon!
