Boston College Master's Entry 2014 applicants

Nursing Students Post Graduate

Published

Hi everyone,

With the Nov 15 deadline looming close and closer, I wanted to start a topic for everyone applying. I'm just about ready to submit my application. Still obsessing over the personal statement, especially the part about personal development and being a lifelong learner, etc. Not an easy essay topic! How are everyone's applications coming?

If you haven't heard yet, you are still in the game. BC sends out letters in waves, all the way until mid-March.

Yeah thats what I've read from years past! Congrats to everyone that has gotten in so far! Anyone heard from peds yet?

Congrats, guys! You must be dying of relief/ excitement! Still waiting in adult gero!

Got my acceptance email to PNP this morning!! Good luck everyone!

Would anyone who got in mind posting their stats for those of us still waiting?

Congrats to everyone with acceptances!!!

Has anyone heard from FNP yet?

Just got into the AGNP track about 3 hours ago!

Hey! Congrats to everyone that heard they got in! I'm still waiting to hear. Does anyone know if in previous years BC has emailed out a few notifications each day or if it happens more in a few large waves? Also, does anyone know if acceptances and rejections are emailed out at the same time?

Wasn't meant to be for me, but congratulations to everyone who got in and good luck to everyone who hasn't heard!!

I just got in for PMHNP!! Congrats to everyone else and best of luck to everyone still waiting!

Here are my stats, if (like me) you are a future applicant who wants to stalk the forum:

New grad, BA in Psychology, French minor

Overall GPA: 3.85

Pre-req GPA somewhere around there as well

GRE: 153 Q, 157 V, 5.0 writing

Additional experience: 2 years volunteering in psych research lab, 2 months interning at an outpatient psych clinic

Is this real?!

Congrats to those accepted, and good luck to those who are still waiting or seeking acceptance elsewhere!

My stats are:

3.8 undergrad GPA (including some nursing coursework)

Masters degree

Experience: 3 years of full-time research experience with the VA doing psych assessments and study coordination/supervision, international fellowship, a few publications and a number of conference presentations.

I forget my exact GRE scores but they were something like 91st percentile in verbal and 35th percentile in math (hah!).

s-lizzy and mzaur--is BC your first choice or are you waiting to hear from other programs? I'd love to chat with you both about your thoughts on various psych NP programs. It's going to be a hard decision.
