Depaul MENP fall 2012

naysando · Apr 19, 2012

Oh man sorry : ( I know uic and rush are über hard to get into : (I only applied to loyola and depaul. I would love to get a dnp so that's not a problem. I'm a dorky one that loves school/learning : )Both schools have a dnp program too- from the looks of them though it's still more community based and advancing heath care stuff- not patient focused, more grand scheme and broad focused- it might be strange to change that into a np requirement but I am planning on going all the way! : )

Oh no, I totally plan on going all the way for it too!! I just was hearing that there will not be any advantage of those having an MSN over a BSN...like the program length will be about the same since there will be BSN-DNP programs....heard they are trying to phase out the MSN programs which worries me a little!

Really? Wow that will be interesting to see. I was reading that some want to get rid of or at least change the dnp saying it was too confusing having a "doctor" nurse...that may have just been the AMA though....either way, higher ed will be a requirement in the health care field, at least in my opinion, as we move forward so it's better to just embrace it like we are : )

Iowa2012, did you interview at UIC and they have gotten back to you? Or did you not get an interview? Just curious as I am waiting to hear back from them and want info!

I did not get an interview (I called Julie Kim and she said she was sending out emails and letters this week) They only interviewed 12 ppl for the 5 spots in peds so I knew it was a slim chance anyways...what specialty did you apply for?

Adult/geriatric. I had an interview on the 9th and they said we would know by the end of April so I'm hoping I hear back any day...

this is the week right????? man-o-man i hope--my nerves are fried!!!!!

naysando · Apr 23, 2012

Yikes....I just got an email saying a decision for me hasn't yet been made and I won't hear back for another week or two : (Guess this isn't looking too good for me. I wonder if it's because I still have a pre-req out (in one now and taking one over the summer)Hum....anyone else hear anything yet?

I didn't get in. They told me it was because of my GRE scores, I did bad on that exam. They said I could re-apply for winter but I don't think I'm going to do that. I'm glad I got into the other schools I applied to. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

did you guys get an email, letter in the mail or did you call? I haven't heard anything yet. Good luck everyone!

naysando · Apr 23, 2012

Oh man. : ( bummer!So who are you bouncing between loyola and Ress? Are you leaning one way or the other yet?I sent an email this morning asking if any decisions were made and when we would hear back. I am thinking maybe I was wait listed because of outstanding pre reqs but I'm not sure...just guessing here.Renee

RickyLatino87, don't be discouraged it is so selective and I found out last week I didn't get into UIC...We will all end up where we are meant to go! Do you mind if I ask what you got on your GRE scores? I didn't do well on mine either so am kind of nervous. Who was it that notified you via email...and admissions counselor? And Naysando...I called this morning didn't tell them my name or anything and they said that we will find out within the next two weeks so don't feel discouraged. Really getting nervous and compulsively checking my email...this is NOT good for my health!
