2. Northeastern Direct-Entry NP

   bkhiyw replied to kiki617's topic in Massachusetts

   I had mine last Friday as well and actually had the opposite experience. I was expecting something really casual but was asked some pretty formal questions. I probably should have prepared more but I pulled some decent answers out I guess. I left fee...

   Thanks! I'll be sure to report back. It's in person; I work down the street from the school so it'll be a fun way to spend lunch.

6. Northeastern Direct-Entry NP

   bkhiyw replied to kiki617's topic in Massachusetts

   I did the application so long ago I actually thought I did explicitly choose a track- you're right in thinking there wasn't a place to do that. Like silvrdove though I also wrote a lot about the specialty I have in mind. Now I wonder if my interviewe...

   bkhiyw replied to kiki617's topic in Massachusetts

   I did, the Pediatric Acute Care specialty. I've heard great things but I believe the program is really small so I am not getting my hopes up. I don't know if the person I am interviewing with is representing the general direct entry program, the pedi...

    That FAFSA thing was for people who were accepted early. It wasn't anything official, just a way for them to give you an idea of the aid package you could be expected to receive. So I wouldn't worry about not getting it in yet, there's still time!

12. Need info about Columbia Nursing/Public Health Joint Program

    bkhiyw replied to bocaburger's topic in Post Graduate

    I'm so glad there are other people out there, I feel like I have no idea what I'm doing with this dual degree program which is unfortunate because it sounds so amazing! Rebecca, are you applying through the direct entry program or are you already an ...

    bkhiyw replied to bethashley's topic in Massachusetts

    Hey! Congrats on the paper, that's awesome! I'm applying to 2 Boston schools (BC and Northeastern) for pediatric and pediatric acute care programs. I'm also applying to Columbia and NYU. The wait is definitely killer. I was an International Relations...

    I'm applying to the peds track as well. It seems like on past forums Peds was not as well represented, glad to see we're getting a whole group of us on here! I'm from NJ originally but have been in Boston for the past 5 years, so it'll either be Bost...
