Okay, sounds good! I wish everyone in admissions was on the same page because its strange that some people said late March and she told me mid Feb!

It’s probably the batch that those people are in. She said it’s kind of like a rolling admission in groups and that not everyone gets an interview because there are so many students. She said there’s only about 6 spots per specialty (now I’m even more nervous) but she said 100% NCLEX pass rate most years (94% years where only one student had to take a second time and pass) for the direct entry and she doesn’t remember any student not passing NP exam but she was AGACNP director before this position so NP numbers could vary for sprxialty

That’s so soon, I’m so nervous! Northeastern is one of my top choices

I’m really torn between northeastern and Boston college. Northeastern has acute care that I want but Boston college ends up with a DNP and no RN requirement so I can choose my pace but no acute care and either way I’d have to go back to get what the other lacks

Wow thank you for calling and providing those stats! That's amazing they have a 100% NCLEX pass rate, that really puts me at ease because I was getting second thoughts about this program. But wow only 6 spots per specialty ?? that is super competitive

Lately I have been hearing that DNP is not necessary if you want to be an NP. People have been saying that NPs will need a DNP for a while now without progress on the requirement, and regardless NPs with MSNs will be grandfathered in anyway if there does end up being a DNP requirement. There also apparently isn't a pay difference between the two degrees. I've mainly been seeing DNPs for nurses that want to go into administration. This is just what I have been seeing on the subject matter.

Hi everyone. I just got an email from Sue saying I was accepted! She said the official email will go out this week so if you haven’t heard anything yet I’m assuming you’ll hear back this week.

[Amber Rose Mello]

I had a zoom call with her Thursday and mentioned about having to put deposits down for other schools but I wanted to hear from northeastern first so I believe that’s the only reason she reached out today so if you still didn’t get an email don’t worry! They’ll be out this week

I didn't see one yet, but I'd be interested in making one if nobody else has.

Has everyone that has emailed admissions contacted Sue directly?

I personally have. It doesn’t hurt to reach out to her, she’s really nice and understanding and I’m sure she could give you a more accurate timeline!
