Specialties Advanced
Published Jul 20, 2011
Hello! I have seen forums for the previous years' application cycles, but not for the class starting fall 2012.
Sooo... how's it going for everyone? I take the GRE on Friday (gah!) so of course I'm trying to avoid studying for that!

Rjkelly1... I think only a few specialities have an interview..ACNP for example does not....

I went to the open house before. It has a lot for students just applying or thinking about applying. However, I think I am going to attend again. I have more questions that I want answered from the student panel. I also think it would be helpful to go to the financial aid portion and for the tour. They have 3 different time slots devoted to you learning about different specialties...which will be boring to sit through since I know I am FNP.
I think the day consists of breakfast, welcome from the dean, then you split off by going to different classrooms to learn about different specialties, lunch combined with a student panel, then financial aid then the tour? I wish I could come for the second half of the day :)
Thanks for the Congrats! I was so worried when I got home, but it turns out I was just being too hard on myself. After being waitlisted at Duke, I just got scared!

I just called the school and I was told that my application has gone for review but not to expect anything for another four weeks. Ugh.
Mellzie22... Oh wow! That sounds awful! But I am glad you posted what you found out... It might help keep me off the ledge?

Hey y'all! I just found out yesterday that I got in for pre-specialty ACNP (and yesterday was my birthday- good timing!) I'm still in so much shock I can't even believe I am currently writing this.
I plan on going to the open house on the 3rd. I'm so excited!
I still have 1 more pre-req to finish, does anyone (in for pre-specialty) have any to finish before the start of the program?

Congratulations @EAP0812! Did you get a letter or email? I applied for ACNP Pre-Specialty as well and haven't heard anything, so I'm scared! Again, congrats to you and everyone else!
Thanks! Letter only for me- no email

I applied the 1-year full-time FNP track for current RN's. But haven't heard anything back from them yet. I applied somewhat late though. Anyone applied for the same track? Have you heard back from the school? Congratulations to everyone who got in - you are amazing!

amandy45, I also applied to and got into Case Western. I'm considering the program because of the link into the DNP program as well. I'll be visiting Cleveland in a few weeks to help me make my choice. Keep in touch, I'd love to hear your perspective about both programs and which one you choose :)

@sprint880324: I will definitely keep in touch! Congrats on getting into Case Western! I can't wait to see Vandy!! :)
@EAP0812: You're going to the open you? I am attending as well! Maybe we can meet up that morning to talk?

Does anyone have any idea why the government decided that grad students for this upcoming year are gonna be saddled with only unsub or credit based loans? How long do you all think this will last?
