MGH IHP Direct Entry NP 2015

[snoozyd]

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?

Just FYI, Boston has been shut down for about a week with only a day here and there bc of the two snowstorms. So that might be what you are waiting on. Travel bans and everything. So be patient!

I was just accepted FNP too! Is it your 1st choice?

At least that deposit deadline is pretty reasonable. we should definitely hear back from every school by then! BC is a pretty solid program. Glad you folks are hearing good news

I think we are forgetting that last years deadline was on December 1st. Ours was Jan 1st

They already started sending acceptance letters to people starting in the summer. So we are up next!

That is for the ABSN though.

I looked at other forums about other programs who have received acceptance letters, and I think we should be getting ours soon because the Dec 1st deadline people have gotten theirs, and their next deadline is March 1st, so one would assume that they will start focusing on those and hopefully have the acceptance letters out for this program and other January 1st deadlines before then.

Fingers crossed and good luck everyone!!

Yes that's why I said that we are up next! Since they finished reviewing applications for summer folks. Now we need to relax and wait

[hopefulcandidat]

Easier said than done! lol :) Let's hope it goes quickly.

Glad to see you guys are freaking out with me

I hate to say it, but I am predicting that all of this snow might prolong hearing from admissions. I am guessing they had multiple snow days with these blizzards. Hopefully it won't be too much longer of a wait, though!
