when did everyone, who got accepted, apply and interview for the program?

For those who already heard back in December, when did you turn in your applications? I still have yet to hear, so I'm pretty sure I didn't get in. :crying2: Just curious.

Lizette - I don't think you should assume the worst. I was one of the first applicants and I applied and interviewed back in mid-September. I believe AnthonyD mentioned that he interviewed really early too. When I spoke with admissions in mid-December, they told me they would be sending out notifications through the middle of February. They said they had so many applicants that it was just taking them longer to work through all the files.

Besides, if all the notifications had gone out, you would have heard either way by now, right? I know the waiting sucks, and I'm glad mine is over, but hang in there! Hopefully you'll get some good news soon! :)

Hi Ruealien - I think U of R has a great approach, and they seem much more interested in finding the right people for their program and less hung up on stats. A very personal approach and everyone there is extremely friendly and accessible. Seems like a really good environment. Feel free to PM if you need any specifics...

AnthonyD - CONGRATULATIONS! That's awesome! Pretty great Christmas present, huh? :giftbox:

Thanks kebunt! You're right. I really shouldn't worry too much. Waiting does bite though. I do hope to hear something soon. So far, I've sent out 3 applications, and got waitlisted on one of them. The other 2 I have yet to hear back from. Congrats on your acceptance!

Hey LizettePS, I applied the end of October and the advisor said to me that the decisions will be made sometimes between mid february to the end of february. So I am still waiting here.

Good Luck, there should be a hope still.

In case you want to know, I spoke with******** today and she said they're notifying individuals regarding their acceptance between today and end of next month. So it's definitely going to be a long wait for some of us. *sigh*

I'm seriously getting anxious. Most of the programs I applied for start in May but it seems most of them do not notify until late (some even until March). It seems so little time to make arrangements for things like living situation, wrapping up current job, moving, etc. Oh well. I'm sure many of us are on the same boat.

Good luck to everyone! And thanks for the helpful and encouraging responses.

Hey everyone!

So I sent my deposit in and am ready to go! BUT, there are still so many things I don't know about the program! Can anyone help me? Here are questions I am wondering about... THANKS!

- How many students are in the ABPNN program for the May 2010 cohert?

- When will we hear about financial aid/scholarship awards?

- Does anyone know if we get breaks the same as the regular academic calendar? (i.e. is our winter break that long)

ALSO, for those of you who already know you are going, have you guys started looking for housing? Are you bringing a car?

Thanks again for any help guys!

Hey Xtina! I thought you were deferring, so glad you'll be there in May.

I think the May class is 100 students. I am not really sure about scholarship notifications...I did the Fafsa4caster to see what I would qualify for and it was not good news!

I sent in my deposit and I did start to look at housing. I thought I'd try to find at least a 2 bdrm so I have the option of a roommate. I was looking mostly at the Art Gallery District and East End, but I think they're 2-3 miles away, and I'd love to be in walking distance so I don't have to worry about parking (I hear it's impossible). Do you know of anything in walking distance? Also, I'd love to find a place with a garage since I'll have my car and I can't even imagine how often I'd have to dig it out of the snow if I park on the street!

How about you? Have you figured out neighborhoods yet? Car? Roommate?

Hey Kebunt!

They said I couldn't defer, so I decided to skip the job! I mean, why make money when you can take out thousands of dollars of loans, right!?!

I have not figured out anything yet! I am from california, and don't know if my car will be able to make the trip cross country! I was considering the idea of just doing zipcars when needed for clinicals, and then walking everywhere...i currently live in san francisco, and am LOVING not having to worry about dealing with a car! I have just been looking on the housing website for off campus housing, and it looks like there are lots of awesome houses for rent...the only problem is that we start at sort of a weird time. No roommate either! I know zero people in our program and zero people in Rochester! I'm hoping to go check out the campus soon though! Let me know when you figure your stuff out!

Thanks,

Christina
