Hi all! I hope you're well. ?  I haven't heard anything re: my application (direct entry DNP) since I submitted it in early November. When did you all hear re: interviews? Thanks much.

I applied for Direct Entry DNP (Pediatrics) on Nov 15th and also haven't heard anything. Just sent an email to admissions and Sean Sendall to see what the timeline looks like for those who are still waiting to hear back. If I get a response I will let you know what they say!

Just heard back! Sean said that decisions will be sent out all at once, either late this month or early February. They will reach out via email, so no need to constantly refresh the portal. I'm assuming that unless your specialty conducts interviews, you won't receive any outreach before then! ?

Did he mention whether or not interviews are conducted for the pediatric specialty? The silence is killing me!

I didn't ask! Based off last year's thread and my (potentially false) memory of what he said in the info session, it seems like only the more competitive specialties hold interviews (those being the FNP and PMHNP). But I could be wrong!

Has anyone applied to the AGNP and heard back about interviews?

Hello!

I am applying from California ?.

I applied on October 12th and just had my interview. If anyone would like to know, the cohort size (Masters AND the specialties) add up to 45 people. This year's applicant pool was around ~300. I have not asked how many people they have interviewed for each specialty, but I wish I had! I applied for the FNP portion and that was the specialty that I interviewed for ? He also mentioned decisions might be rolling out in two weeks, which bleeds into February. 

I have one outstanding class (general Chemistry) and was wondering if anyone has some experience in portage learning? The college that I wish to take the course at has all been filled out so it's been pretty hard getting a seat in there!

Thanks guys! and Good luck!!

Thank you so much for your input! I know that general Chemistry has a lab portion in it so I hope it is good in those terms as well.. I'll look into it!
