VCU ABSN Summer 2014 Hopefuls!

Published

Hey everyone!

I'm semi new to this site and was curious if there is anyone else out there in the application process for VCU's Accelerated BSN program to start in May 2014. I've started my application, but haven't turned it in, yet. This is the only program I want to go to! I don't know if I can wait until the end of January to get a decision!!!!

I finished my degree in Biology in May 2011 and I've been working in NOVA at a fast paced medical office ever since. Also, I've taken all of my pre-reqs except for A&P I and II (starting A&P I in a few weeks), but just a bit concerned about my grades/GPA from undergrad. I meet all of the requirements thus far, but not sure if it will be enough. Anyone else having similar concerns?

Also, would love to hear from any current VCU ABSN students - what were your stats like when applying, how do you like the program, etc.

@ Lexi- that is a possibility. I figured all the decisions would go out in one batch e-mail. I'll post back once I hear anything. Has anyone else applied for the 2014 ABSN program and NOT received their decision e-mail?

@kris- have you checked your spam mail? Maybe it accidentally got routed there instead of your inbox. If not, it might be worth while to call them again on Monday to check and see. I'm not sure if they release decisions in batches or not...

I'm really not sure why the group is showing up as closed? On my facebook it says it's open... I'll play around with it!

I've been reading all the posts today, haven't been on allnurses before but I got accepted as well. I asked to join the FB page, too. I didn't have any issues viewing it or asking to join.

@Allie- that's the first thing I did when I didn't see it in my inbox. I've already sent an e-mail to the nursing processor so we'll see what she says.

@kris- I hope she doesn't tell you the decision date is January 31st, again. Let us know what you find out!!!

Man... It's going to be a longgggggg two and a half weeks...

Is that when they send out decisions again?

The "wait listed" email I got said they would notify me as early as mid February or as late as the first day of class as spots become available. I'm hoping that by mid February at least four of the 80ish accepted will have declined their admission. We will see!!

Gurrrrlllll you know 2 people already declined. I'm sure 2 more probably did as well!

From an information session over the summer, I believe they said they accept 80 or 90. Somewhere in that ball park.

does anyone know how many people apply for the program?
