They called me yesterday to tell me I got in. I interviewed on the 25th and they said they are calling yesterday and today and mailing out official letters early next week!

Has anyone else heard who interviewed on 1/25? I have not and am not sure if I should take it as a bad sign.

I still haven't heard back yet and starting to feel bummed out..

Still haven't heard back. I'm getting very nervous and having tough time focusing at work!

Hi everyone! I'm back and can answer a few questions that I've noticed since I've been here:

1. Tuition cost (for in-state) students, is about 80k. Out-of-state can get up to about 120k for the whole program

2. FutureFNP123: Some students do apply for things like HRSA scholarships or NurseCorps for loan repayment, but unfortunately those programs prioritize MSN students over DNP students, so we aren't likely their top choice for funding (womp, womp). However, yes, you're right that we are required to work once we obtain the RN license and until we are NPs.

3. MsNurse128: Unfortunately I'm still finishing up my first year, so I can't speak to much about salary! Becky can probably answer that if she wants to.

Let me know what other questions you've got! And to everyone that's been admitted in the meantime, congratulations!

I just got a call today (Feb 6) to schedule an interview time. I applied to the adult-gero acute care track.

I believe they are still reviewing applications, so be on the lookout!

For those of you (like me) who interviewed on 1/25 and are still waiting to hear, I was originally told that I would hear back within two weeks. Technically those two weeks are not up yet. I did email them yesterday about the timeline and never heard back though :/

Oh I see- I didn't know that. So that would be this Thursday the 8th. It's just confusing since we are all being told different things and one person here did get a call already. I guess it depends on a variety of things. I'm trying not to lose hope quite yet- did you try calling them about it?

It seems like people are being provided with different responses as to when we should hear back. One person that got in said they're calling people that interviewed on 1/25 by last Friday, and I was told by my interviewer that we'd hear back by Monday.. I want to call them and ask, but I guess I should just wait until Thursday.

I guess it doesn't hurt to call and ask.

I haven't tried calling. Since I sent them an email on Monday, I feel like it will look a little pushy if I call. But if anyone does call and gets some info, please share! This waiting is killing me.
