   Yes, she said the same to me via email. Bummer. Well, it was my first time applying to Yale, so I'm hoping that 2nd round applicants have a better chance at getting an interview. I got an interview at UCSF and hoping that works out. But if that d...

   Hi Pedsnursehopeful, Yes, I rsvp'd last Thurs the 9th and got a reply on Friday the 10th. It wasn't anything fancy that they replied back. They just said "OK"- literally. Figured I had something in writing and that's all I needed, but now I'm star...

   Hi PedsNurseHopeful! I also have an interview for the APPN specialty. So excited! I'm interviewing on the 28th... you? Do we all interview the same day? Also, do you know how many slots are available for Peds? I had heard at one of the info sessi...

   Hey Everyone, First, let me say I totally feel for those who didn't get an interview this year.... I didn't last year and was totally bummed for the holidays because I didn't hear until about 12/20. Anyhow, please stay positive and don't let it brin...

   Thanks Abby_Normal! I can't believe that I missed that group. I wondered why this one showed such little activity. Also, thanks for your words of encouragement and info on the school. So are you in a program again, or did you reapply to schools?

   Yes, I'm here in SF, which I love too. I just accepted you as a friend and wrote you directly so we could take this conversation off-line for others who may not be interested.

   If you had to take quantitative classes (which it sounds like you did), I would think that you would be considered for a waiver. If you are done with your essay and can deliver your transcripts and a copy of your thesis to them, I would think that t...

10. Yale GEPN Fall 2011

    ftrsfnurse replied to Ashley.'s topic in Connecticut

    Yes, totally worth a try!!! My understanding is that if you have a masters in a science field, it was very likely you'd get a waiver. But if you had a Masters in Fine Arts, then they would likely not give you the waiver. But for those of us that h...

    ftrsfnurse replied to Ashley.'s topic in Connecticut

    Allie11, Did you know that since you have a Masters that you could ask for a GRE waiver? I just submitted my application in a couple of days ago to request this waiver. I have been talking to Admissions since early this summer and they said that if...

    ftrsfnurse replied to astrelle's topic in Post Graduate

    If I remember correctly from last year's application, it stays "under review" until we get a rejection or interview invitation letter. I actually didn't ever get a hard copy letter, but found out on this board that people were getting their hard cop...

    Hi KKandes, Just wanted to add in my 2 cents if it is at all helpful.... I set up a call with the Admissions Director and her tip was to treat it like a creative writing piece. You need to be able to answer all the questions in the order they ask, b...

    oops, one more thing Artemis30, for some reason I thought I heard somewhere that transcripts must be in by the deadline, but I don't find it saying that anywhere in the instructions. Did you check with the office? I called two days ago and they wer...
