Northeastern Direct-Entry NP

U.S.A. Massachusetts

Published

Hi,

Years ago I met with the director of this program and really loved it. Over the past 2+ years I've been doing the prereqs and volunteering at a hospital. It began to go to the backburner because I felt an accel BSN would be a better choice. Well now that I am ready to apply :yeah: I can't get this program out of my head as being the top choice. SO I'm aiming on the GRE's for Sept to apply for their deadline. Just wanted to see if any students could provide some input on their experience there, and post graduation. I had a NP a few years ago at Harvard Vanguard in Copley who was a graduate and said such great things. I also can see that only Northeastern students get these intern positions at MGH (I'm sure there are internships open to all as well, but I see just Northeastern ones- I'm an employee at Partners). This makes me think they have an advantage... anywho, any feedback would be sooo greatly appreciated!!:redbeathe

Thanks!

Has everyone heard back by either phone or email? I have not heard anything yet? Do you think this is a bad sign or do you think NEU does the interviews in batches? Does everyone get an interview? Do they send out rejection letters just so you know one way or the other?

I haven't heard anything either. I'm not sure what to expect at all. I wish they gave out a bit more info.

I only found this out because I emailed the program coordinator. I had met her when I went to the open house and from what I remember, last year they took 24 people out of 338 applications. Of those 338, they interviewed about 100. Hopefully everyone will hear about an interview in next few weeks. Wishing you all lots of luck. It's probably the most competitive program out there...

I just got a phone call to schedule an interview yesterday. The woman I spoke with said that both days were pretty wide open in terms of interview times, so I'm guessing they just started calling people. Good luck everybody!

Good luck, vmdamico! Care to share your stats with us?

i emailed someone from the admissions dept and this was the reply:

"We are still reviewing applications and should be in contact with selected applicants within the next week about interviews. Final decisions are then made by April 1st.

Hope that helps!"

good luck everyone!!!

Thanks bluskyy! I was freaking out that it was Friday and I hadn't heard a word yet... Don't want to get my hopes up too high but I hope I get an interview! Good luck, everyone!

I got a call for an interview today! SO SHOCKED! FNP is my chosen specialty and I am nervous and speechless.

i just got an email invite for an interview this week! this is really exciting! i think applicants will get calls from the admissions office based on other posts, but i got an email because i have no reception at work....

Congrats bluskyy! Good luck!
