VCU ABSN 2023 Waitlisted

[NurseL6470]

Hello! I just received my admissions decision for VCU's (Virginia Commonwealth University) ABSN 2023 program. I got waitlisted which is disappointing but I was wondering how many people they usually accept from the waitlist. Also, was anyone else accepted or waitlisted? I hope you all have a good day!

dang im not sure, I just checked my notes from the info session in September and don't think they mentioned anything about that, just that they don't share rank. 

honestly, I would send an email expressing how interested you are in the program- IDK if it will make a difference but it can't hurt. 

im sorry it's not the outcome you wanted but I bet everything will work out. 

I was accepted and wish you the best of luck!!

If you don't mind me asking, what was your GPA when you applied?

I was waitlisted as well. Pretty bummed out but I've seen in previous threads about people getting pulled from the waitlist. So still hoping! 

[NurseL6470]

Hopefully we both get off of the waitlist (and get accepted)!

I got waitlisted too for VCU's ABSN Summer 2023 :(

I can't remember how many slots they have, but it's very disappointing 

[NurseL6470]

I think they have 100. I wonder how many people applied

Do you happen to know if they start pulling people from the waitlist now or wait until after feb 15 (when everyone needs to accept their spot)?

One of the admission coordinators said she will be sending an email next week to those waitlisted on things we can be doing while we wait ?

[NurseL6470]

I don't know but I assume they should pull people now if people who were accepted denied their spot.

I hope they start pulling right away. Anyone else apply to GMU?

[NurseL6470]

Me too! I started to apply to GMU but decided not to follow through. They were too far away for me. (VCU is only 30 minutes from my house)
