UW BSN Fall 2011

[bsn2013]

I am planning on applying this year for Fall 2011 BSN at UW, although I doubt I'll be competitive due to my lack of healthcare experience. I'll have a bit over 100 hours by the time the application is due, but in more than one setting. I'm sort of just planning to go through the motions this year so I know what to expect the following year. Also A&P is kicking my butt this quarter so I probably won't end up with an A . Anyone else applying?

Has anyone heard from UWMC? I'm assuming I didn't get selected at this point but it would be nice to know for sure.

Hi Kristina,

I haven't heard anything either. I spoke to Sandra, a nurse recruiter at UWMC, who said that we would receive a call for an interview or a letter/e-mail of denial. I am really anxious to hear back as well. I was looking at posts from last year about this loan program and people still had not heard by July 22nd. I was going to wait about a week and then send out an e-mail to our classes mailing list if I haven't heard by then. Sandra did say they notify applicant either way, so they might just be taking a long time to make a decision. I will post on here as soon as I hear something!

Thanks Kristin, I will do the same!

I realized last night that we have been "waiting" in some form or another since the January application deadline. It is no wonder I'm so anxious about everything!

Ok guys, summer is almost over already! Are you guys still interested in meeting up before school starts? I'll be in Seattle a lot more now that my classes are over.

I am considering to apply to UW for the BSN program. What is usually the acceptance rates for GPA? What is the percentage of applicants that are usually accepted. Would be very much appreciated! What were your stats?

Hi everybody,

First off, CONGRATS to everyone who got in and don't worry, for all those who didn't. Don't give up and try again next year. I'm new to this blog and received my acceptance letter on 3/31 and look forward to meeting you all in the fall. :-)

Let's talk about money....

Anyone know where to hunt for funds? My work offers some assistance but I would like to see what else is out there. If I find any good scholarships or grants I'll be sure to post there on here.

Good job to all!

Does anyone know what they are looking for specifically through this proctored essay? Do they want to see our judgment when picking a patient or is it like you want to take on a challenge or your maturity level?
