PMHNP! I wonder if they release decisions based on specialty?

I got accepted! I just got an email that my status had changed! Good luck to everyone

Haha I know! People love their program but I couldn't justify the cost plus the first year being private loans ?

I'm between UCSF and Yale! I declined UPenn which was terrifying but I really want to know if I got into UCSF

@Kin07 @Tryingtobecomeanrn Thank you both for responding! For me Yale appears to be the most afforadable even though they offered significantly less scholarship money than UPenn but both programs seem great

@Kin07 @Tryingtobecomeanrn I'm curious to hear how either of you made the decision? I need to make a decision soon

I got an email that I was waitlisted today for PMHNP. Too be honest, I'm surprised! I was accepted everywhere else I applied including some big name Ivy leagues. Good luck to everyone waiting to hear back and congrats to everyone who was admitted!

My interview was a panel of 5 and they each asked about two questions, they were all very nice. I didn't feel like I did very well either. I was surprised by the questions, I was prepared for the usual why our program, why nursing, why PMHNP but the questions were mostly about my personality, strengths and weaknesses. They designed some of the questions to catch you off guard like I was asked to teach them something I know a lot about. I thought they said the decision would come today but I must have misunderstood.

As others have said, there a lot of programs! Some that lead to an NP specialty and some that are just general MSN while you get an RN. I also applied to Colombia, UCSF, UPenn, Yale, Oregon State Health University and Johns Hopkins for direct entry programs that lead to NP specialty

Me too! For PMHNP as well. Out of anxiety I applied to a couple school and now have to make a hard decision

My interview was a panel of 5 people and each of them asked me roughly 1-2 questions so I would guess ~8 questions. I felt like the interview was designed to make me think on my feet a bit and to get a sense of me as a person more so than my qualifications. I would recommend spending some time reflecting on strengths and weaknesses prior to the interview.

I think it may be specialty specific for the ABSN-DNP, I interveiwed for PMHNP and they told me that I would get a decision around 02/21 For people applying to the ABSN-DNP how did you deal with thank you emails since it was panel interview? I did not receive my interviewers contact information as I did for other schools I interviewed with.

ABSN-DNP. My email does not mention an essay but instead an activity to complete before the interview that will take about 15 minutes

I also applied to Portland. I wonder if it has to do with your specialty? I'm interviewing for PMHNP

What is the essay portion? The email I got was very vague and only said that I would get a pre-interview activity to complete 30 minutes before my interview. I'm anxious about what that might be
