OHIO STATE -FNP traditional masters 2017

Published

Hi everyone!

I thought I would start a thread for everyone that is applying to the FNP traditional masters program for 2017! I have heard from many that the wait is anxious and long. I also just talked to a lady at the graduate college of nursing and she stated that this year everyone will be receiving an interview as it will be part of now the general application process. I was told by my friends that got admitted last year that getting an offer to interview was stating that you were competitive enough, but it seems this year it is now standard. I am super anxious! I applied to the online FNP, does anyone have any idea how many students they admit for the online program? My GPA is at 3.1, I have four years of RN experience, and I feel strongly about my letter of intent and my recommendations. The lady I spoke to today said that they have let in some with a GPA as low as mine but she also said it was their statement and recommendations that pulled them through. I'm hoping I get pulled through!! But I honestly have doubts. What does everyone else's credentials look like? What have you heard about the admission process this year? I would love to hear from other candidates, and wish everyone the best of luck!! Hopefully a good start to a new year for all of us!

I'm gonna lose my mind even more now. HAHA. They need to get it over with!!!

Did anyone apply for the full time, online FNP program and get accepted? If so, does your acceptance email include the phrase "Admission offer is for Part Time only" towards the end of the email? I'm wondering if this is to somehow denote the online option for FNP or if there has been a mix up with which program I am accepted into given I applied for full time. I'm in the process of reaching out to OSU but thought I'd ask here too in the meantime. Thanks for your help!

I applied for full time online and mine says the same thing. I would like to stick with the part time anyways so I can keep working, but let us know what they say!

They are also asking for my official transcript, which I had confirmed had arrived months ago. I also asked them about that!

I was accepted into PNP today! Yay!!! I also have on my to do list "official transcript" which I had mailed long ago...so I am going to call them in the next couple of days and see if I have to do it again. Let me know if any of you get an answer on this (:

Also, my app status changed today, and I accepted my admission, but have not received and e-mail or anything, have any of you? If so, when did you receive your e-mail in relation to the change in app status? Thanks!

Thanks, OhioRN91! I called the admissions office today but they told me my question can be best answered via email so I will let you know what they say when they get back to me.

hayleyj, I also received the email approximately 2 days after my app status changed. Congrats!

I'm not sure if anyone applied to PMHNP, but if so have you heard anything yet? I'm already accepted at University of South Alabama and wanted to hold off before I accepted. The anticipation is killing me.
