In my opinion, it's never too early!

I plan on applying to Yale if I do not get into UIC. I started the application for Fall 2013, but I let the personal statement prompt overwhelm me :no:

The personal statement seems the most challenging by far...how come it's so hard to answer: why do you want to be a ---NP?

I know Yale doesn't technically require pre-reqs, but what traditional pre-req classes will you folks have completed when you apply?

I would have taken anatomy, physiology, nutrition, developmental psych, and would probably be in the process of completing Microbiology.

Taking physiology and anatomy will be an amazing help, microbiology is also helpful for understanding pathogenicity. But honestly they start the program at basic and push you through what you need to know. If you have taken the typical pre-nursing courses than you might be less confused, but there is a TON of info to learn so everyone is studying regardless of previous course history. As for the essay, I followed the instructions and answered every part in order. It's difficult, but if you're honest about why you want to be an NP then you'll find an underlying thread that connects all the answers into a nice essay. Also, write about 15 drafts of the essay and ask your friends and family to read it, or find a writing center for help. It's amazing what an outside opinion will do for your perspective. Good luck!

You guys working on your personal statement? The question about strengths, weaknesses, interpersonal style, etc, is giving me a headache!
