Is Bay Path your top choice? It's one of mine due to location and length of program. I haven't heard anything yet though.

Will you be attending? Haven't heard back yet but Maggie told me by next week. Hoping I get in someplace elsewhere though...

@FINGERS_CROSSED
It was one of my top choices, but I have already committed to another program which starts a little earlier. I didn't think Bay Path would take this long! I will probably be declining next week. I've also heard very mixed things about the program, which made me a little unsure about it altogether. It was very nice of Maggie to call and personally congratulate me though- she is awesome! Have you guys heard back from any other schools?

CONGRATS on getting into more than one school! Yea she's very responsive compared to other admin assistants/reps from other schools. I just got contacted from Towson today for an interview. Made their first screening! I'm really happy because I heard they are pretty cut throat with GPA and stats for the initial screening. I'm still waiting on quite a few schools. Most aren't rolling so it will be quite awhile to hear back...

When I went to the Open House in the fall Maggie said there were around 600 applicants. I received my letter of acceptance yesterday via email.

GPA 3.65, prerequisites about the same, only 24 shadowing hours but also worked as a special needs nanny in college and volunteered quite a bit.

Good luck everyone!! 99% sure I will be attending 🙂
 
Gaahhh it's freaking me out that I haven't heard back yet since it was my top choice. I emailed Maggie last week and she said due to the high number of applicants, it was taking longer than they expected. Anyone else still waiting?

Thank you! I think I had everything in the week before Christmas. At least Bay Path's cohort is significantly larger than most schools so that's something to keep in mind!
 
Jw if anybody knows how much the deposit amount would be? ?

congrats on getting in! do you know how big the cohort is typically?
 
I still haven't heard anything yet, but submitted my application super late in the game. I think every school has been super late with admissions decisions, so I don't think it's anything to be particularly concerned about. I'm going to wait until the end of next week to inquire about mine.

Not sure if this was posted on the thread earlier. But when did you receive your acceptance letter. Congrats!

And I am also waiting for Springfield. I think we find out the end of this month.

I just heard back today! But yeah I hope we find out sooner rather than later, I know back in February they said 4-6 weeks from then
 
I declined the offer so that should open up another spot! And it doesn't seem like they are sending out all acceptances at once so I wouldn't worry!
