Hello Everyone!
Happy Saturday! :) I just got back from an open house at the School of Nursing and I really enjoyed being a student panelist. I was there to answer questions from prospective students and families about the nursing school. It was pretty much an offline version of this blog!! If you haven't had a chance, I would really recommend visiting the School of Nursing and attending one of these Info sessions.
[ATTENTION]: According to the UVA Admissions website incoming First-Year students' admissions decisions were mailed and available online APRIL 1 and for External Transfers, they will be mailed and available online MAY 1.
For everyone who's gotten admissions decisions, I hope this blog has helped you in your application process! Some of you may have been disappointed but some of you may have been relieved to see that all your hard work paid off. For those who didn't get into UVA SON this go round, don't get discouraged..if you really want to pursue nursing then this is one of the BEST schools to attend. There are opportunities for 2nd year transfer and 3rd year transfer (3rd tear transfer is only for students already at UVA).
For those who were accepted into the UVA SON, you have until MAY 1 to accept!! I would strongly encourage you to do so! If you have any hesitation about coming to UVA once accepted, please use this blog as an opportunity to ask your questions about "WHY UVA??".
Visiting UVA always helps, that's what sold me and through all 3 years of my time here I have loved absolutely every minute of it.
So, for those who didn't get it--keep your chin up, there's always a next time.
For those who got accepted---COME TO UVA!!!
Q: I'm trying to transfer into the SON as a 3rd year transfer, are the summer courses mandatory?
A: As far as I know yes. The classes you take during the summer will catch you up with all the other 3rd year nursing students once you start in the fall. So, if you don't take the summer classes then you'll have to stay an extra year and then technically you wouldn't be a 3rd year anymore because you'd be graduating a year later. In general, when you apply to the 3rd year transfer program it is assumed that you will take the summer classes.
As always, ask your questions or just leave me some feedback about how I'm doing.
I'd love to hear from you!

did transfer decisions come out yet because my status still says complete. I also thought decisions were not made until may 1.

ReplyDeleteI will be starting in the Fall at UVA in the Post-Masters PMH CNS/NP program. I have been to UVA once for the information session. I need to know more about parking. I will be coming to the campus one day a week for at least 3 semesters. I live in Chesapeake, VA. Thanks!
