Published

Hey! I know the deadline passed 1 week ago but I wanted to start this thread for those who applied and want to discuss.

All I was saying in this is I know several people waiting to hear from CNM and have not heard of anyone being accepted to that program yet.

I was not making any assumptions just starting the facts I know to be true.  Which is 1) I know at least 5 people who are waiting on CNM and 2) I know at least 2 from each other speciality MDE/DNP that have been accepted. I did not say or assume that all decisions were out or not out for any specific program. 
 

I know this is a super stressful time.  I hope that everyone hears something soon!! 

Yeah I didn't quote you or anybody else or message above. It wasn't directed to anyone specifically just a general statement for people still waiting. 

Im just reiterating what admissions told me. I kept seeing ppl asking for someone to please call but I waited until end of the week just in case things changed by the end of the week. 
 

 The lady was frustrated and was saying people keep calling and everyone is anxious because they keep listening to other people. 

So I'm just saying to anyone else waiting don't assume based off what we see on forums because truth is we really don't know how decisions or being rolled out or the methodology! 

but like you said it is anxious ridden regardless and good luck to everyone!

It is sad and disheartening how the school is handling this issue. They have created the environment for people to be anxious and worried. Why close admission in November just at the same time with many other schools which have already rolled out admissions by now only for them to keep delaying? I applied to 2 other schools and I received acceptance letters in December just for my first choice school to keep delaying. A lot of us have had to put things on hold just to hear from them and I am pretty sure one way or the other we might get affected by this especially when there is a rejection. Secondly, why make us wait till February only to tell us you will be rolling decisions over the next two weeks? How did they expect people to feel seeing others getting acceptance letters whilst others have to wait for another week or two?

I think they have a retention problem in their admissions offices. I applied lasts year but withdrew my application once I was not able to get into the pre-req classes until Summer registration. But the admissions consultant that was working with students has changed from last year to the end of that cycle. Then there was a new one form Summer to fall. And the girl I've been in contact with my whole application this year is ent her an email and it sent an automatic reply that her last day was Jan 30th or something. So it seems like it's stemming from an internal issue within the admission office. Which sucks for students, but like I said I really think we as collective should say someone once everyone puts their deposits in of course. In hopes they do better for next time! 
But for now we just have to stay positive and hopeful, the whole batch in two weeks things is ridiculousssss it rlly is. It feels like undergrad applications which is why it seems like they are just so short staffed I just hope the quality of applicant review of review is not jeopardized.

Applied for Masters Direct Entry and DNP. Last week received an email stating that decisions will be out in next 2 weeks.  Is this right forum?

It seems some heads on Wednesday and someone heard on Thursday last week also. The email did say they would be rolling them out over the next 2 weeks.  Which DNP program did you apply to?
