Seattle U - APNI 2012

Nursing Students NP Students

Published

Anyone already applying at Seattle U? Which track? I haven't finished my pre-req's, so I am probably not too competitive this year, but I am going to apply anyway. I am applying for the nurse-midwife track and my background is Microbiology (UW).

Does anyone know what percentage of applicants get asked for an interview? This may have been covered in previous questions, but what are they looking for in students? Goals consistent with their core values and the mission statement of the school?

Another question for current students or students who are hoping to enter the women's healthcare field: what's the school's stance on abortion?

Thank you all!

@mzmarit:

i can't answer your other questions, but given that it's a Jesuit Catholic school, I would bet that its stance on abortion is anti-abortion. That's an assumption, but I think it's a fair one..

I think I remember asking them that Q last year. I think they interview about 150 people and then maybe 30-40 waitlisted? This year a ton got off the waitlist, like 20 probably. The year before I heard they only took like 5 off the waitlist. And as far as the abortion Q for the midwifery track, I couldn't tell you what the school stance is but I can tell you this is our OB quarter and we addressed working at a clinic that performs abortion and how if your morals don't match up you shouldn't be in that line of work or any that your morals don't line up to. But they never said anything along the lines of "that's bad".

Thanks MSW! I was asking about people who were born in another country and moved to the United States - that's my case! I am glad most students are in their 30's, I will be 35 December 1st!! ;)

Thanks all for your thoughts.

Another questions. I can't find on the online application where to submit a personal statement or writing sample, as well as a CV. Anyone having this problem? Is it something that we just mail. Thank you again!

You can mail or email the CV and Essay. I don't have the addresses here right now, sorry, but they are on the website.

I was born in another country as well and moved to the U.S. around 3 or 4 years old. Don't worry about your age. You'll find that you'll be in good company because the majority of the people in our cohort are very mature and driven regardless of age.

I think every year is different in terms of how many people they take off the waitlist. I know that in our year, there were lots of people taken off and in other years only a few. It all depends on how many people decline their offer and how many people they take for the traditional MSN.

Hello, Everyone!

Officially applied to the midwife track! I'm so nervous, I sent my entire application via mail and I didn't overnight it, it's supposed to get there on the 25th. I don't know why, but I'm superrrr nervous.

Thanks! I've been following this for a bit now, I noticed that you were having some difficulty with your letter of intent. Are you in a good place with it now?

Thanks for asking! I am still working on it. I asked a good friend who's a PhD to review it for me and we both agree that the first page is great, has a lot of impact, but the second one I lost my mojo. ;) It's a good second page, but it pales in comparison with the first one. My last paragraph definitely could be better.

Oh, yes. I'm sure it's great but you always want to make it better if you can. I had the same problem, and getting everything into two pages was quite the challenge. Good luck!
