Boston Direct Entry Program - Calling All Applicants!

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:

httleeds- i'd say be prepared to talk about why you chose nursing, future goals, things like that. it's a very welcoming environment, good luck!

HugANurse87- Thank you so much. My fingers and toses are crossed :)

Has anyone heard back from the pediatric NP specialty yet or know whether they are still in the process of sending out emails? Butterrfliesss, I can't focus on my midterms this week.

Congrats on all those who have gotten in!!! =]

httleeds - I think you're right about MGH. If they send out letters tomorrow, the 16th (as they have been saying on the phone), then we'll know very soon! I really hope I hear the next day since I live so close to the school (I almost want to go over in person to receive my letter :) )

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

I still haven't heard from Northeastern (direct entry, FNP) and am hoping that doesn't mean my chances are shot! Any other FNP hopefuls out there?

I would recommend getting an Eagle ID. I thought they issued them to everyone who applied. If you did not get one, try calling the school and seeing if you have an ID# that you didnt know about. If not they should be able to generate one easily enough. Your ID is how all your data is organized so I wouldn't try to submit documents to them without your ID# on them

They said there was an error, because I got married and my name changed, I hope I am not too late for financial aid!! :crying2:

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 just called MGH and asked when decisions would be going out and I was told that they would be sending them out the first week in March (through both e-mail and regular mail) :( I was really hoping to hear back sooner! Has anyone else heard differently?

NurseGradHopeful - Congratulations! I was wondering if the email you received came from a "bc.edu" address, or was it something different? I'm paranoid and keep checking my spam folder...paranoid... but mostly hoping I'll be surprised and find something in there haha.

Thanks!

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?
