I interviewed for the PGC WHNP at Georgetown at the beginning of September, and I am anxiously waiting to hear back! My admissions counselor said it could be up to 6 weeks, but my interview proctor said 4 weeks. For those who have been accepted or have gone through the process, what was your experience like? Did you receive an email notification when they start reviewing your application?

I interviewed in August and heard the first week of September (if I remember correctly). I don't remember if I got an email about when they began reviewing my application, but I did get a notification about the admission decision! I am in my second semester of the CNM/WHNP MSN program.

@aglow18 That's great! So it sounds like it only took you about 4 weeks to hear back. I reached out to my Advisor to see when decisions will be made, and she said 6-7 weeks. I wonder if the length of time to hear back is an indication of their interest in the applicant.

Hey, 

I’m applying to the same program (WHNP/CNM) for Spring 2023, I’m preparing to interview soon but I wanted to see if you all had any advice for the interview?

Hi all!

I’m wondering if anyone has insight on clinical placements for Georgetown CNM/whnp? And thoughts on FNU vs Georgetown?  I was accepted to both frontier and Georgetown. I’m leaning towards Georgetown, but uneasy about clinical placements since California is so impacted. Frontier doesn’t place at all but I have secured  a really good site for myself already. 
Thanks for the help!

Hi! I hope you got accepted to the program for the Spring start! I am currently applying for the man FNP program and have my interview coming up next week. Are there any thoughts, suggestions or recommendations you could share with me as I am preparing? I don't know what to expect and am feeling nervous. Any input would be so appreciated!!

Hi @AmeliaSummer! I did get accepted but ended up re-applying to the BSN-DNP program after talking to the Academic Dean, so I'll be starting in the fall. 

The interview process was actually pretty awkward! It was via zoom and in a PowerPoint format with a timer. They time you for 3 minutes (I think) per question, and when the timer is up, the slide automatically goes to the next interview question. There is no interviewer face to look at, it's just a blank screen. I felt like I bombed it after it was over, but I guess it wasn't horrible! ?

Good luck with your interview! Let us know how it goes!

Thank you so much for your kind response! So you'll be in the DNP program this Fall, how exciting! I wonder if we will have any classes together? (If I get accepted haha) Congratulations on getting in and on starting this next chapter of your career with Georgetown! Fantastic! 
 

I had my interview this week and it was exactly as you described. I honestly liked the experience a lot and felt that I had enough time to answer each question. I've been comparing schools and their programs and I love everything about Georgetown! Really hope I get in!
