I have recently applied to the Depaul MENP program. Starting Jan 2011. I am leaving a career in finance and am eagerlly awaiting decisions for the future from several schools! I was wondering if any of you could give some insight into how long you waited to hear about a decision from DePaul? Did you have to go thru an interview process? How competitive is the MENP program? I have decent grades, a decent GRE score, I'm a pharm tech and shadow a physician 10 hours a week. I'm weary b/c all I hear is how competitive and virtually impossible it is to get into these programs!!?? Any of your own experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

You should hear from DePaul shortly after the deadline for admissions, after the committee has met to go through applications. Depending on what your definition of "decent" is, as long as you have decent scores, grades, and fulfill the prereqs, you'll be admitted. Interviews are generally only requested of very borderline applicants.
Also, the MENP program is not med school and neither is it a traditional RN program, so it isn't cutthroat competitive and it isn't a one-nitpicky-screwup-and-you're-gone type competitive either.
i applied to the jan. 2011 cohort and found out i got accepted through the campusconnect. log on and it should say congratulations in the admitted students section. I called the grad office to confirm and they said they sent out the letters yesterday! gl!
Congratulations!!!!I got accepted a while back to the Jan 2011 Jan cohort? Does anyone know when the new student orientation is for nurses? I tried to contact them and they haven't contacted me back yet. It seems hard to reach anyone there? Is anyone having the same problem?

Orientation for Winter Cohort MENP students has usually been in late October, on a Friday. However, since acceptances were sent out relatively late this year compared to years prior, I'm not sure when it will be this year. Your best bet is to call the Department office and have them tell you when it is, or wait to get your official acceptance packet in the mail, which should have such info in it.
Hey guys. I got in too. :) I got a letter saying that the 2011 MENP orientation is Friday, Nov 19 at 2 pm. You guys didn't get that letter? Also we can't log into our campusconnect account until after orientation right? Mine isn't working.

You should be able to log in to campus connect - at least, I was well able to well before orientation. Call DePaul's information services people. You'll register for classes either at orientation or before it (depending on what they told you in the letter with the late orientation date this year), and you can't get your DePaul ID card until you register for classes.
Also, now that you've gotten your information, start getting your titers drawn and physical done, especially if you're still working now and are covered under a health insurance plan.
