   Hi Jazzy, I also got accepted to the Yale GEPN program. I was invited to interview at USD, but declined upon hearing I was admitted to Yale. I chose Yale because it is a direct path to becoming an FNP (there were other reasons as well, but that was...

   krysprout - I'm hoping the same thing! We'll see how much it will affect our financial aid packages! shortcake - check out Asherah's post above, there is a link to more information about private loans. :)

   I don't believe that there are summer courses during the specialty years - from what I heard that at the orientation. I think the only summer session we have is during the GEPN year. Your numbers seem right - but I guess that would only be the tuitio...

   I'm in the same boat. Whatever isn't covered by financial aid, I'll have to get in private loans. I was really surprised when we were told at the orientation that the average student debt at the end of the program was like $67,000. Did anyone else...

   I don't remember stepping out being an option either... However, I'd rather go straight through anyway! :) I can't remember about the part-time option during the specialty years - I feel like I remember someone saying that was a possibility.

   One option that I am considering right now is working part time as an RN while I'm in the specialty years. That way I'll have some paid experience as an RN under my belt when I apply for NP jobs. Of course, if at that time I decide not to work duri...

    Hi Kens! When should you hear from Georgetown? Are you still waiting to hear from any other schools? :)

    I was also very impressed at the interview! I'll definitely be attending this fall! Hopefully my financial aid award letter will bring more good news. How about you, Moon - are you definitely going? Where else did you apply?

    Hi moonlinkline7! The letter was dated 2/15 and it said the financial aid letters will be sent out "next week", so sometime this week they should be mailed out (if you got your financial aid app in by the 2/1 deadline). They enclosed the response for...

    I got my letter today, too! Can't wait to meet everyone this fall (or maybe sooner)! kevkev and Kens - are you guys definitely going to Yale?

    I've started to think about housing as well. My fiance and I have a 2-year-old, so we're either going to live in family student housing, or find a house off-campus. We've been living in an apartment for a couple years now and are ready to have a bi...
