Boston Direct Entry Program - Calling All Applicants!

Published

Hello everyone - I just wanted to create a thread for those of us applying to direct entry programs in the Boston area to talk. Has anyone heard from any schools yet? Although I did not apply to Regis early decision (I am applying by the regular deadline), I know that they have likely already notified people - congrats to those who got in! I called Boston College a few days ago, and they said they are notifying people late February. I'm also applying to MGH, Northeastern and Simmons.

Good luck to everyone! :nurse:

Wow, that is really annoying because the bc deposit is due March 4. Mgh always said the 16th, that is a costly change for those of us who have bc and mgh as top choices, you know?

That's so strange about mgh, I had also heard that they were sending out letters by today...I really hope they do!

I applied to bc for FNP and received a waitlist email today from Mary- beth Crowley (a bc.edu email). Both mgh and BC are my top choices so I am keeping my hopes up!!

PsychMC- It did come from a "bc.edu" I totally understand the constant checking and being paranoid but I would try to relax as much as you can. It seems that BC has been sending out decisions over the course of the last week and I don't know if there is really any order to it. But good luck with you waiting. I hope you hear soon!

And thank you very much for the congratulations. However, I have decided that I will be turning down my acceptance to BC. I will be attending Columbia or Emory because their programs just fit what I am looking for more. But I hope everyone the best of luck with BC and that everyone ends up where they want to.

I called MGH today and they told me the decision letters would be sent out mid-March :(

I got an email today saying I was wait-listed at BC for the psych-mental health specialty. Does anyone know what the chances of getting off the wait-list at BC are, or anything about how the wait list has been in past years? I am so hopefully yet nervous. BC is my first choice. I really hope I get accepted!

I believe that someone on this forum asked if anyone applying for Pediatric NP had heard from BC. I received my decision letter via email this afternoon. It seems like they have been sending the letters out by specialty so hopefully all you other PNPs hear soon. Good luck to everyone!

I think that was me that asked.

I received a call this Saturday from Northeastern to invite me for an interview next week. I'm excited and nervous.

can someone let me know how the interview goes? I was finally contacted, but I'd be very curious to know how it goes. The woman i spoke with on the phone was super nice. I really enjoyed our conversation.

Did anyone apply to Northeastern's acute care track?

Mid-March for MGH?!? I must say, that is really annoying considering they originally were saying this week. A lot of deposits for other schools are due in March. I would think they would speed things up with the knowledge that most people who applied to their school need to make decisions with others within the next few weeks.

does anyone know about how to fill out financial aid for BC form without a student eagle ID??

I am looking at this now as we speak. I emailed a question to the person who sent our acceptance letter and she said there was no separate financial aid form to fill out. Did you already do your FAFSA?

By the way, you will have an Eagle ID# if you used the online application to the DE program. You may have to email BC to get that info or re-login to http://portal.bc.edu (use the same credentials). Within the portal, you click on the financial aid link and then you have to use your Eagle ID#... There is a message in there with a link to this website: http://www.bc.edu/offices/stserv/gettingstartedgrad.html

That last website should help you :)

I was also waitlisted for pediatrics! If anyone can shed some light on the chances are for waitlisted people, I'd really appreciate it as well!
