Am I competitive applicant?

Published

Hello!

I am finishing up my application for Frontier's next class for nurse midwifery. Frontier is very competitive, so I'm nervous. I also plan to apply to Bethel's midwifery program. 

-My undergraduate GPA for my BSN is 3.5. My graduate GPA is 3.8. I tried to do better in my BSN program, but as a parent that went through a divorce during the program while working part-time, I could only do so much! I was pretty young, too.

-L&D nurse for 3.5 years

-OB/GYN clinic nurse. There are MD's, DO's, and CNM's in the office

-I have extra responsibilities at my current job, and I plan to become a lactation champion. Hopefully I will get my CLC this next year.

-I don't currently volunteer, unfortunately.

What else can I do to become a good applicant if I don't get in first round? I appreciate all the help! I really want to get accepted.

Happy Holidays! 

 

 

I have no idea but there seemed to be quite a few slots they wanted to fill, though, for the interview. Mine is April 16th! Best of luck to you! I'm sure you will be great!

Same as you! Sounds like they are expanding the program to 25-30 this year, if I remember correctly.

I'd love to connect--sending you a PM.

I also applied to Georgetown and did get accepted but due to the cost I am going to decline acceptance and go with Bethel if I get accepted there.

How did it go and how long after interview did you receive your letter? Did you also get accepted to Bethel? If so, and you chose Bethel, what made you choose Bethel over Geogetown not considering the cost but the program overall?

I was told to review cervix dilation and fetal heart monitoring. If you are talking about Bethel. Georgetown has random questions that are on a powerpoint.
