Midwifery

Hi everyone!

I previously posted a thread about OHSU's ABSN-MSN Midwifery program, but I accidentally listed it on the Oregon nursing page rather than this one. But anyway, I am currently applying to Midwifery schools and I was wondering if I could get some advice! I am graduating in the spring with a degree in Public Health, my GRE scores were average, and my GPA is a 3.7 cumulative and 3.6 pre-req.

So I am currently applying to OHSU, U of Seattle, and Birthingway. I am really nervous about applying to OHSU because I know that around 10 are accepted per cohort, but I really don't know much about the other two programs. Are there any past/current applicants that could give me some insight on these programs?

(edit**)- I read on OHSU's page that accepted applicants are usually 24-30 (about.. I forgot the exact ages they listed). Does this mean that OHSU usually does not admit students right out of bachelor's programs? I am worried that I will be at a disadvantage because I am young and that I am applying directly from a bachelor's program.

Though I do know that Birthingway is NOT a nursing degree, it is a midwifery certification. I was a bit skeptical about the whole direct-entry midwifery thing at first, but from my research, it could be comparable to doula training. I am going to be graduating with plenty of loans, so if I don't get in to any ABSN-MSN programs, I still want the option to work as a midwife in a couple years. Does anyone have any experience or knowledge on direct-entry programs/Birthingway?

Also, is there any other programs that anyone suggests I apply? I would really really appreciate any input!

    I'm a current student in the Seattle U program direct entry program, although I'm in a different track so I can't answer specifics about the midwifery program. There's a great Facebook page, though, for Seattle U APNI applicants. If you post a question on there, you'll likely get responses from folks currently in the midwifery program. Just look up Seattle U APNI applicants on Facebook and ask to join the group. And good luck!
