   I'm so sorry - I was almost ready to pass out with anxiety, and can understand what a drag it is to have to wait one more day. I personally don't think it means anything that some of the letters arrived today and some tomorrow. Please let us know w...

   I sympathize! I contacted them last week because I was offered admission at Yale and they want an answer in a couple of weeks -- I wondered what the soonest we could find out was. Got an email back basically saying sorry - we'll do our best, but pr...

5. Yale GEPN and UCSF MEPN interview days the same!

   sci-fry posted a topic in Post Graduate

   Help! Good news in abundance brings dilemma! I've been invited to interview at both Yale and UCSF for their direct-entry midwifery programs. (I live in SF). Unfortunately, their day-long interview days are the same - January 19th. Does anyone know...

   Just a thought...... There MUST be a big part of this process that is simply a numbers game. There is no way that only 150 out of 600+ applicants would be both a good match for the program, and good nurses as well. Surely there must be many, many p...

   I'm so sorry you have had to go through this disappointment. I did want to mention, for whatever it's worth, that in terms of class demographics that while I am a woman, I am 49. Not young.

   Hi Elizabeth - Good questions - not sure any applicant can answer. My own thoughts have been that everything matters, and I absolutely worked my head off in the pre-reqs. In a competitive program, I have to assume grades mean something. (Of course,...

    So here's what my letter says: "As part of the screening process, you must attend two forty-five minute interviews the first of which will take place during the Interview Day on the UCSF campus. For each interview, you will meet with a single interv...

    YES! - Got my envelope from UCSF today, and pleased to be a finalist. Have to interview at UC on the 19th of January, and at Stanford on the 25th. Anyone else?

    The rumor is that a record of service is important - not sure if there's a statute of limitations on when you did it. Since this is a second career for me I've done some volunteer work to get experience as well. But it seems to me the whole MEPN pr...

    I'm in SF - applied to the midwifery specialty at UC and Yale - any news from anyone about an interview letter? It's kind of quiet out there................
