Hunter College Psych NP (PMHNP) 2023

Published

Hi Everyone, 

I just got my acceptance into Hunter's 2023 PMHNP program and was wondering if anyone has gone through it, or if there are any others who got accepted?

 

Thanks!

Julian

That's amazing Julian, Congrats! When did you submit your application if you don't mind me asking, still waiting to hear back (fingers crossed)

Thank you! I submitted my application on February 8th and received the decision on February 21st. I also applied last year and was rejected. 

Thanks for your honesty! What would you say the main things that have changed between that first and second application that you think got you accepted this time? Would you say more experience in the field? Submitted my application Feb 21st.

The biggest changes are:

  • Actual inpatient psych experience, where before I only had CT Stepdown experience
  • My recommendations were much stronger. I had them written by a psychiatrist, pmhnp, and a nurse manager. Before they were only clinical professors and co-workers. 
  • My essay was clearer and to the point. I have no idea why I thought submitting my garbage essay from last year would work. 
  • Likely applying twice showed persistence? This one is pretty speculative though 

That's honestly all I can think of. 

Hi and congrats! I also just got my acceptance letter! Are you doing the MSN or DNP program?

May want to email them. They might make an exception if the hold up was a recommendation.

Yeah they emailed me saying "supplemental documents can be submitted up to a week after deadline" one of my transcripts was held up in processes. Hoping for the best.
