VCU's accelerated program 2015

Published

Hi all!

I'ved applied to VCU's 2015 accelerated BS program and now am waiting for January to come...3 months is going to go by too slowly but I'm so excited too!

I'm reaching out to any current applicants to learn about you and your background...please share! :) I'm currently an Athletic Trainer and have been working in this field for the past 11 years but have decided to take a turn in my career and become a nurse! I'm hoping my experiences will be in my favor.

Also reaching out to previous & current students to ask you your tips for success in the program. Please share anything that works for you!

I just got an email from VCU saying that my application is complete! Now to play the dreadful waiting game. I'm graduating in December from VT and hope to work in a doctor's office post-grad while waiting to hear back.

This is what my application summary shows (I took out the reference and school names). IT lists them as all received but I haven't received an email saying my application is complete.

Did the same thing happen with you? how long did you wait?

Curious, Thank you

VCU and UVA are equally my top picks, i just hope I get into one of them! I sent my transcripts out on Friday and got the email yesterday. I never checked my status because I figured there'd be no point until this week when they would get them in the mail. Check your email again? I got the email from nuradmission at vcu. Good luck to you too!!!

Damn, now I'm worried, I sent the transcripts way earlier than Friday and the application lists everything as "received" so I don't know why I haven't received an email yet. On your application does it look something like this?

Maybe I effed up somewhere. I'm a little confused by the application preference: Not entered do you know what that means?

Also good luck with UVA, I'm assuming you applied to the CNL direct entry masters program

Hey Everyone!

I am applying as well!

Ph33rbenkthankslol I called the Nursing admissions advisor after I saw your post and she said that she manually goes through each submitted application and then sends those emails stating the application is "complete and ready for review". It is not an automated email so no worries!

BTW my application says the same thing as yours!

Thank You twinkletoes22 , that's really helpful. I emailed the office as well and they said something similar.

Good luck with your application,
