Jan 4, 201214 yr Hey Everyone,I'm applying to nurse practitioner programs for Fall 2012. Anyone else out there? Maybe we can encourage each other during the process. I'm applying to:University of Arizona DNP/FNPUAB FNPUSA DNP/ENP and MSN/ENPRachel
Feb 6, 201214 yr Author I think you are in there based on your stats and our conversation!!! I'm a little worried about my GPA to be honest, but my last 60 is 3.5 so that's a little better than 3.3. I have not talked to them about funding. I know that it will be in state tuition, but I'm using GI Bill.
Feb 7, 201214 yr You have a stellar gpa! And more experience in nursing than me, I wouldn't worry! Wow, GI Bill? I'm jealous! That's great! That would be awesome if we end up as classmates! Have you applied to USA? I'm thinking about going ahead and applying there because the deadline is not till April 1st..
Feb 7, 201214 yr Author I hope we do end up being classmates!! I'm sending in my application for USA on Wednesday (payday). Lol. These apps get expensive. USA does not require recommendations, GRE, or an essay which makes me wonder with so many applicants, how can I make it in with nothing to make me stand out? Oh well, I'll never know unless I try right?
Feb 8, 201214 yr Yeah it is kinda scary with USA that they don't request any of the things UAB does..I've also read that they have so many slots that can be filled unlike UAB and it is a first come first serve which really is stressful. But I'm like you, won't hurt to try..I just heard back from UAB that they received all my transcripts and I was cleared for the gre..Now I guess the wait begins!..These next couple months are going to be rough!
Feb 8, 201214 yr Author I haven't heard anything yet. They may not have received all my transcripts yet. Did they email you?
Feb 8, 201214 yr Yeah they emailed me telling me that there were some changes to my online account and to sign on to see those changes. I signed on and it said that they received all my transcripts and that my gre waver was cleared.
Feb 9, 201214 yr I'm waiting to hear from U of Penn. So far I only applied there. If I don't get in, then that is my sign to take an addition year to work and save before school.
Feb 9, 201214 yr Author NJprisonrn,I just sent in my last applications!! Surprising I feel much better and it's out of my hands now. Good luck to you!!
Feb 9, 201214 yr Sent out my application for USA today. NJ prisonrn Good luck! What concentration are you applying for?
Feb 9, 201214 yr Thanks rachelaleanRN2B and LRNGIRL! It feels good to have the application done. It was a lot of work! I'm applying for FNP. Crossing my fingers for us all.
