Anyone applying to Yale GEPN program for Fall 2009?

[LillyB]

Hi,

Since there was a very extensive thread last year about application process to Yale, I thought I would start a new thread for 2009 hopefuls. I am working on my application and wanted to know who else chose Yale as one of their options. What program? How is the application process going? Essay writing? Any anxieties? I am applying to the Adult Advanced Practice Nursing but still deciding on the specialty. The hardest part for me is the essay writing as English is not my first language, but I have been working on it for some time now and getting close to finishing the final version. Anyone else wants to share?

I wasn't offered an interview....

good luck!

Hi Lilly,

I am really sorry to hear this. Are you applying to other schools as well?

I haven't heard from Yale yet, but I have been extremely nervous and now knowing that they are sending out notifications I am even more anxious.

That's so weird...I got mine over an hour ago...I guess that means good things since you're earlier in the alphabet and I would think that they would have sent the rejections out in alphabetical order

I'm also applying to UIC (which now seems like a LONG SHOT, though the girl I visited with seemed to think that I had good credentials), Rush, and Columbia

Yale was actually my last choice (I'm not a huge fan of New Haven) but it's still a bit disheartening

I'd love to know which of you got in an what your credentials were so that I can see why I wasn't qualified

thanks for the support!

good luck to you all!

No interview for me. I'm gonna go curl up in a ball and die now. Good luck to the rest of you.

Wow...I haven't heard yet. I can't believe notifications are already going out! I am freaking out.

Congrats Lola :)

I was nervously checking my email all day, and I also haven't heard anything yet... Congratulations, Lola! When is your interview? Are they doing it in early/mid January again?

hi all,

congrats lola! meredith and lilly, i'm joining your ranks. i got my 'thanks but no thanks' email today. luckily, yale or new haven were not my first choice, and i've applied to about nine other schools, some of which have requested interviews.

best of luck to everyone in their nursing pursuits!

Hi everyone!!! I'm new to this forum. I just got my email for my interview on 21st of January and already booked my hotel!!! (I really wasn't expecting it!) I'm applying to the child/adolescent psych specialty and hope to do 1 year post masters work to become a PNP as well. I am only in my first year out of school and I'm already dying to get back in! I hope I get to meet some of you but am nervous for this whole interviewing process.. eeeek!

[darkallstar]

Hi every one!

I'm very sorry about the bad news. I hope you guys get into your favorite school you applied to.

Congrats lola, I will see you there. I was thinking maybe we can go some where for some food. I don't think I want to carry food around with me. By the way my interview is on the 23rd I will be there on the 22nd. Good luck to the rest of you.

Anyone have an idea as to the rhyme and reason of how they're sending out emails? I've gotten neither a decline nor an invitation...going slightly batty as a result...
