When should we hear from UAB re: Spring '11 admissions?

error

Hi, lifes-a-beach,

Noticed you tried to post something in response to my question. However, it just says error. Maybe you could try again. I would love to hear what you have to say! Thanks!

Hey, my apologies. I realized you'd applied to UAB after I thought I was posting to a USA application board...then, I could only edit & not delete from my Iphone. I applied to the peds nurse practioner program at South Alabama for spring 2011 & am so anxious to hear from admissions. Best wishes with your program.

Thanks! Best of luck to you as well!

Hi,

I don't know how they decide, but I do know I applied this semester (deadline Sept 24) for Spring 11 and was told we would be notified the first week in Novemeber.

I currently attend UAB and a student in my class told me she is already admitted for Spring 11 (I don't know when she applied, though). I know this has not shed any light on the subject for you, but I want you to know you are not alone in your anxiety. :)

Good luck!

Thanks for responding. I didn't think UAB had rolling admissions. I wonder how your friend already found out? Maybe they notify people at different times depending on the specialty track? I am going for FNP. How about you? Sometimes I feel pretty confident about my chances of getting in. Then I hear that there was a record number of applicants for FNP and that " many well qualified applicants will not be admitted" . Kind of discouraging. Just trying to stay patient. Best of luck to you!

I also applied to UAB. I haven't heard from them yet. I did get into USA. I just found out.

Yes, I was told the same thing. "There were a record amount of qualified applicants, meeting the general admission requirements may not result in admission for Spring '11, we are processing about 50-100 transcripts per day, the FNP program is one of the most competitive tracks, etc"... They told me the same thing. :) Which only increased my anxiety. I did pick the Adult NP as a second choice. I try to stay optimistic, but it's hard considering all I've heard. I just wish they would tell me so I can breathe again and stop "chain chewing rolaids and tums! LOL!

txrn10,

Congrats on your acceptance to USA! At least you have options. :)

Congrats on USA! It is nice to have options. UAB is the first place I have applied and trying to narrow down my other options. Good luck to everyone!
