   I had peers in my cohort from off the waitlist! Usually by the admitting deadline, if people do not commit to Vandy, then they go off the waitlist for as many spots are available. You could maybe ask how far along you are in the waitlist??

2. Vanderbilt University PMHNP Fall 2024

   kcheck5 replied to Kela Morris's topic in School Programs

   I thoroughly enjoyed my program. Depends on the kind of person you are toward your education, I think. Obviously I think applying and getting into Vanderbilt shows you are highly motivated anyway, but I didn't think of myself as very academic nor did...

   Wow! That is super nice they get you guys a response before Winter break. Waiting til mid Feb for me just two years ago was brutal LOL! Congrats to all! If you need an alumni mentor (for AGPC), I am available and happy to help 🙂

4. Vanderbilt University PMHNP Fall 2024

   kcheck5 replied to Kela Morris's topic in School Programs

   I just graduated from the VUSN AGPCNP program, but as far as the general application process goes - you should hear from financial aid in January or from admissions about generic admissions things. My cohort (as well as midwifery, FNP, PMHNP, and oth...

5. Vanderbilt Fall 2024 FNP

   kcheck5 replied to jesslauren310's topic in NP Students

   I can't speak on FNP, but as a whole Vanderbilt has a great program. I got a lot out of it. I did AGPC. One of my preceptors was actually an FNP alum from VUSN. While the academic work can be daunting, I graduated 8/6, passed boards 9/14. When ...

6. Vanderbilt Fall 2024 FNP

   kcheck5 replied to jesslauren310's topic in NP Students

   What do you want to know? Timelines? I just graduated. When I applied and most cohorts after me, people found out about mid Feb. My date was Feb 15 and found out about 11am. Or at least that's when I had a status change on my app.

7. Vanderbilt Pre-Specialty MSN 2023

   kcheck5 replied to Alex5468's topic in School Programs

   Airbnbs and VRBOs are homes, condos and apartments to rent as places to stay when traveling 🙂 I stay at a place with a couple other friends and classmates. We just walk to campus and nearby places to see, then uber or lyft downtown if the...

   I got my Vandy acceptance around then too, a year and a half ago. It was 11am 😍😍 Excited for you all. These forums bring me joy for the profession.

10. Vanderbilt Pre-Specialty MSN 2023

    kcheck5 replied to Alex5468's topic in School Programs

    I love adults/geriatrics, so for me, I think the program is a really great fit. Each faculty member has their niche within AGPC and all have their DNPs and are currently practicing. They’re supportive, information/content is provided in such a way to...

11. Vanderbilt Pre-Specialty MSN 2023

    kcheck5 replied to Alex5468's topic in School Programs

    Maybe I was an outlier, but I had a 2.99 GPA in my undergrad, 3.0 in my ADN and a 3.9 in my RN to BSN but a majority of my undergraduate years were definitely less than the lowest GPA on the VUSN website. Experience matters and writing a really good ...

12. Vanderbilt Pre-Specialty MSN 2023

    kcheck5 replied to Alex5468's topic in School Programs

    $500! It goes toward tuition. For prior app cycles, they let us have until like March 28 I think for commitment responses. Other programs I know are DNP length. Although there are rumors Vandy is phasing out the MSN in a few years so it'll all be DNP...

13. Vanderbilt 2021 Direct Entry

    kcheck5 replied to jbail113's topic in School Programs

    There are about six or seven of us in AGPCNP who are PT, but it’s a mix of 2 year and 3 year part timers I think. The 3 year folks are those who work for VUMC.

    No, they are Jan-August of the 2nd year I believe. I do not have any the first four semesters.
