PhD Applicants Fall 2020

Published

Hi everyone, I didn't see any threads for current PhD applicants for the next academic year so I decided to start one so we can encourage each other through the application process ?

Any one else applying? If so where and what is your research focus?

I just submitted my applications to Emory, Hopkins, Penn, and University of Miami. I'm finishing up my MSN in December and decided to go straight through with a PhD. Hoping to hear good news come February!

Emailed her yesterday. Our rejection letter should be in the mail if you haven’t gotten an email yet.. ?

Sounds about right! I didn't think they'd forget an affirmative phone call. Thanks!

Not sure if I’m gonna reapply or not. Deb said the DNP portion still hasn’t made their decision yet, so I suppose I’ll wait and decide then.

I actually called after I responded (because I'm temporarily away from my permanent address... and didn't want to wait a month to check my snail mail)... and she told me the same thing... she said my decision isn't released yet because I applied to the dual PhD/DNP....

I'm unsure if I'd re-apply. Honestly might take it as a sign to change some things up life and career-wise and re-consider in a few years or so.

Exactly the same thing I’m thinking! Perhaps find a fully funded stipend program.

I applied to the DNP/PhD program, but only interviewed for the PhD. I got wait-listed for the PhD program. I will probably send follow up emails.

I wish you luck!! I found out at Interview day that the PI I wanted to work with was the one that was moving to Duke soon ?

Thanks for the luck. I wish you luck with the DNP portion as well. I'm sorry that the PhD match didn't work out.

CONGRATS! What is your focus? Did you find a school with a mentor (I forgot the actual term) who will be your faculty member that is guiding you that has the same focus?

hello all, Im currently a new nurse with a BSN, I love research and participated in some in my undergradute years, I want to become a nursing professor eventually. I want to go back to school in a few years for a PhD. I was wondering does anyone have an tips or recommendations, Im also wondering did you all keep in contact with previous professors over the years?

Thanks in advance
