Vanderbilt Grad Entry 2012 Application

AnneP85 · Dec 2, 2011

Danceluver-- In regards to the last post-- you need to submit it as a "word document." When you go to save as, you will see file type--- scroll down the list and this should appear! I had problems with it too, but finally figured it out :) I am so excited about applying, and now just the waiting game i guess, right?? Who else has applied and to what specialty?

Mellzie 22--- I have several friends/coworkers who went to the program and they all have told me 2 paragraphs, 3 tops for each. I hope this helps :) The longest one I had was about 1 page and a little paragraph double spaced. The others were about 1 page maybe ( double spaced) Good luck to everyone!!! I am already anxious and know we have like 3 months to wait :cool:

Thanks for your help everyone....i was doing it in a doc format so it took me several different methods to figure out how to make it work and i finally did---i just changed the browser i was using and i was able to get it uploaded...don't know why it didn't work with the other browser because everything was updated. Oh well, at least i was able to complete it! Good luck everyone!!

Hey everyone! I applied at the end of November for the direct entry msn program for non-nurse majors. Anyone else apply to that program? Also, has anyone gotten notification that their application is complete? I received an email that they would notify me when it was complete (gre scores received, transcript, etc). I have not heard anything though and didn't know if I should be concern. When I log on to my application profile, it says it is ready for review. I'm so anxious!! I hope I get in.

How was everyones holiday? Anyone else so nervous about getting in that they formulated back up plans? Because thats what I have been doing haha. When should we hear, I wonder?

Hey dlynn25, they didn't let me know either! Their website said my transcripts were missing. At one point, I saw something that said don't send transcripts, but at another time, they said you have to send them. I sent them, but the website said they had not arrived. I called them, and they're really nice in the admissions office and will help you out, and as it turned out, they had arrived. Where else did you apply?? I applied to Columbia, Boston, Virginia Commonwealth, and Seattle. I can't decide if Columbia, Boston, or Vanderbilt is my first choice though...

Hi everyone! When's the deadline for the msn program? I'm interested in applying. I read online that its rolling? If i submit it around end of January do you think I'll have a chance? Thanks and happy new year!

2nurse1: I went to the open house last spring and they said that several specialties were not filled and it was not uncommon to continue to fill slots into the early summer....apply, it is still early!

I am going to apply this week for the ACNP long distance program....anyone else????

I never received anything saying that my application was complete either, so I'm not sure what is going on. I will probably call next week.

Hi all! I did not read all posts but wanted to give my input since I am currently in the WHNP distance program at Vandy. I started last August. My GRE scores were not great but I do have 17 years of nursing experience. I don't know how hard it is to get in if you don't have experience. The fact that I am a distance student also helped because I arrange my own preceptor (which they had to approve). Good luck to all. I am really enjoying the program. Yes, it is a lot of work, and a lot of money but....
