Anyone on here applying to direct entry MSN programs that begin in summer or fall of 2013? I think I have finalized my list of programs to apply to, and I am beginning to get everything together to start applying this summer/early fall (I know this is rather early, but I'm a bit anxious and I was wondering if there was anyone else on this board who is just as excited as me!). I am pretty certain that I will be applying to UPenn, Yale, Johns Hopkins, Northeastern, University of Massachusetts, Boston College, Columbia, Vanderbilt, and Marquette. I am also applying to a few Accelerated BSN programs in my state (Florida) - UCF and UF, for sure. I have all of my prerequisite courses completed, and currently have a 3.76, but my BS is still in progress and I have to retake the GRE this summer. I look forward to hearing from other people!
Don't worry guys! I'm sure you're golden for the interviews. I wanted to apply to uic but I am going to retake my GRE and then apply next round . I read that they place a lot of emphasis on them.
Do you have above a 3.25 GPA? They are now waiving the GRE if you do. Just incase you change your mind!
Also applying! I'm polishing up my personal statements and trying to confirm my 3rd recommender. anyone know if you can change one of the recommenders last minute?
OMG congrats meep05!!! I haven't received any notification from Emory yet besides one about a deadline scholarship this morning. I thought they were sending our notifications in February! What is your specialty again? And was this a phone notification?
I called Duke today and they said interview notifications should be sent out around the end of the month (the lady said maybe around Jan 22nd). And interviews will take place at the end of February and on March 1st.
Thanks! It was a phone call and I got it at 530 PST which was so weird but I was so happy! They said that you will get a letter by Tuesday the 15 the and it will have all the info about the admitted students day thats on Feb 8th. Its a relief to know I am going somewhere :)
Also I did not get into the waitlisted Dev. Psych class at the CC here, so does anyone a online community college to take Dev Psych at thats cheaper than 1000?
Okay, I called Vandy... there are interviews for certain specialties. For midwifery folks, the representative said the faculty just received our applications. We should hear back in a couple weeks and will have interviews probably sometime early February.
Meep, are you still waiting for other options? Or is Emory a top choice?
It is def. one of my top choices bc my parents live in ATL and its a great school and the job market for nurses is not too bad in ATL. Penn and Columbia are my other 2 top choices ( if I get in) Emory is def. cheaper. It is honestly going to be about Financial Aid ! Bc for the most part it really doesnt matter where you go. If I got into BC I would have to think about going there too because of fast it is! Is Emory one of your top choices?
I have many top choices. But since I'm from California UCSF is a top choice, but I'm excited to move to the east coast too. My boyfriend is also applying to medical school so that is a determining factor too. But really, I just want to get in somewhere!
