WSSU ABSN 2021 Start

Nursing Students School Programs

Published

Hello all,

Let's start this 2020 application cycle thread. Anyone will be applying this Summer?

There’s a 2020 WSSU ABSN thread I was a part of but I just looked and it’s mainly this thread that people said they were applying this Summer LOL whoops. I get so many notifications and have looked up so many other forums got confused.

I applied to the school. Then applied to the program. I forwarded the confirmation of payment to the nursing application department. They literally confirmed with an “OK!” LOL then about a week later I emailed to ask if I needed to do anything else. I specifically asked if I had to do anything else with application to the school. The question wasn’t answered. They responded but didn’t address that question. I’m praying it is all OK!

@Alicia Andrews- what other forums are you in? I feel like I need more info!! As I’m on pins and needles as I’m waiting until Oct!!

I recently applied to the school as well! When you applied to the nursing department did you send official copies of your SAT or ACT score? I was unsure since I had last taken the SAT in 2015 and they already advised submitted unofficial transcripts.

Yeah I honestly was wanting to know what everyone else did as well I did not submit them because they were so old.

For the people who have heard back about getting into the school did y’all respond the offer of admission in the portal? I’m not sure if I need to confirm my enrollment before finding out if I got accepted into the ABSN program.

No I’ve have went through this ABSN process before. Do not respond to the school offer until after you hear from the program.

As far as transcripts, you were supposed to submit transcripts to both the school and nursing program as per the requirements. You can find all this on the WSSU home nursing page and then click the ABSN option to go to the requirements.

No sorry not the transcripts I meant the test scores.

Oh okay gotcha! Yes SAT scores weren’t ask of me from the school (they were last year) but the nursing program yes. You can go to college board and print your official results there. I believe there was mention that it’s a 7 year rule as far as how old they can be however I would email the nursing email provided for the ABSN option and ask so you don’t worry.

However, I attached the requirements below per the ABSN website.

Okay, thank you!! Also how did you submit your scores?

If you go to college board you can print them by logging into your account. Download as a pdf and save it as a document renaming it to something you can find (SAT OFFICIAL SCORE REPORT). Then when you submit your ABSN application the required documents are to be uploaded. Just upload your pdf and submit.

However, if you have submitted an application without that they will not consider it. My guess is it’s best either to do another application or email them asking if there’s any way you can send it in without having to go through all that.

I have two questions:

1- My application to WSSU says "Received - Complete Your application is complete, and ready for review by the program to which you applied." I'm assuming there isn't anything else I need to do for applying to the school?

2- I've been trying since Friday to get in touch with someone in the Nursing Dept to confirm they received my transcripts (I didn't know they needed transcripts from a school that is reflected on my primary school transcript) via email and phone. The only contact and phone I have is for -----------------------. She has been awesome in responding very promptly before, so I'm worried I might need to follow up with someone else. Any idea who I should try to contact?

Thanks!

I am having the same exact issues! My portal says the same thing, but I never submitted my test scores and I called all last week to talk to --------------------- and she has not responded to emails or calls. I am thinking about just going over there because I am worried it will not be processed in time. Admissions could not answer any of my questions, if anyone knows anything please let me know!!

Yes as far as y’all schools applications there is nothing needed.

For the nursing program, the whole point of sending transcripts is to not only identify you prerequisites but to make sure that you have already completed a Bachelors/other degree. The ABSN program is specifically for people who have completed a degree beforehand. The person you mentioned you contact is who I have been in contact with but I’m not sure why you aren’t getting a response. I would email the contact email that’s on the nursing page & just keep trying.

Going to the school will probably not work just because of Covid and most staff are working remotely. Especially since this application was to be submitted online.

***per my last post

the only scores needed are your SAT/ACT scores. This is to be sent to the nursing program when you uploaded your required documents. (You can find this and print and official score report at College Board and save as a file to upload and send) It was not needed for the school however transcripts where needed for any previous schools you attended for both the nursing dept and the school.

Hope this helps I’m sorry y’all are having difficulties.
