Hi folks! I couldn't find a post about the 2015 application cycle and I'm interested to see how other people are feeling about it. Since so many other schools have November deadlines, I've already finished up my MGH app (save my letters...) and submitted it.
I'm going after the psych direct-entry NP program. One of the nurses I work with had been in their NP program and recommended it very strongly. My own NP went to Yale and, weirdly enough, told me she hated Yale and wished she went to MGH. She then raved about all the MGH NPs she works with and how great they are. I'm applying to Yale anyway, since who knows what might happen, but I am reeeeeally hoping to get in!
They ask if you've worked for any Partners hospitals...anyone know if this actually affects your chances? Or what the estimated acceptance rates are by program?
I e-mailed about asking about a tour of the campus. In the email response -- dated January 13, 2015 -- I received, they mentioned the open house for ACCEPTED students scheduled in February.
There is a post on this thread from January 21st that says that MGH will be sending out acceptances in three weeks, probably 2, and 2 weeks from the 21st is this Wednesday, the 4th, so I think it is coming up soon.
You are probably right though that the storms have prevented admissions from meeting a few days.
Hopefully we hear soon though guys!!! I can't bear the wait!!!
I'm still holding out hope we'll hear soon! If I got into MGH I may pick them over Vanderbilt. But, of course, I'd need to know if MGH even wants me before I can make that call Might be worth reaching out to the school today to see if they can give any sense of when the decisions will be made.
I emailed them and they asked me to be patient (like if i could) that they are reviewing applications now
I emailed earlier today asking if they have aaaany inkling if they'd be done by Feb 12th (otherwise I'm putting $200 down to hold a spot at another school). Haven't heard anything. Glad they at least responded to you!
Yeah, some sort of estimated date would definitely be helpful, especially for those of you who have to make decisions about other schools. Let us know if you hear back from them.

At least it's only $200, that's not bad at all really. Some schools want a non-refundable $1000 deposit which is Grade A malarkey!

I just called Financial Aid at all my schools and no one is there. So, likely everyone has the day off today.
