I can only find a link to this thread I was accepted too btw!!!

But I hope its thursday!!

I had the interview today and spoke with the faculty. they said they are releasing acceptance letters for the program next week. Charlene herself said she is sending letters out next week. Its possible I misunderstood but that is what I was told this morning.

just had the interview for the fuld scholarship and they told me they arent releasing acceptance letters until next week

Its an invite to interview for the scholarship. From my understanding, based off the essay, scores and resume, they invite the applicants they like most to interview for either full or half tuition scholarships. In case anyone was wondering what my stats looked like I had a 3.56 GPA, 4.0 Prerequistes, and 92.7 Teas.

got my invite today for the helene fuld scholarship!!!

any chance you can find out what the averages were?

is there any chance you can find out what the average was so we know if we were above or below it?

Wow everyone's stats seem incredible. Im pretty nervous my stats are: GPA 3.56 Teas 92.7 All Pre-reqs 4.0 Im also pretty nervous about their scholarship. Supposedly they awarded 17 half and full tuition scholarships last year. I wonder how many they'll award this year and if they weigh some scores more heavily than others.

Got my interview email today !! If anyone was wondering GPA 3.52 Prereq GPA 4.0

Yeah my understanding is that theyll send out invites for the interviews within two weeks after the deadline and decisions within two weeks after the interview whaats every body's academic background look like. I have 3.52 overall GPA political science 4.0 prereq GPA (7/8 classes)

Hey guys so I am applying to this program for the spring 2018 year. I was wondering if you guys could estimate how many hours a week you all need to study to be successful and if 10-15 hours of working is reasonable?

Is it possible that they will do another round of credit checks?

This is off their PDF. Tiers are strictly based on EFC. If your EFC is below 5000 you are in the first funding preference. If you look at the statistics they've released for previous years on who was awarded the applications, 50% of the awards went to NP programs, 30% went to public health programs and 20% went to RN programs. I may be off a little on the numbers but I remember 2016 had 257 awards and only like 56 or something were for registered nurse programs. Funding Preferences There is a funding preference for applicants of greatest financial need. An applicant's financial need is determined based on the applicant's Expected Family Contribution (EFC), which is provided on the Official Student Aid Report (SAR) generated through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Applicants with an EFC between $0 and $5,550 will be considered as having the greatest financial need. Among qualified applicants with the greatest financial need (i.e. applicants with an EFC between $0 and $5,550): (1) First Funding Preference will be given to qualified applicants who are enrolled or accepted for enrollment in an accredited diploma, undergraduate nursing program or graduate level nurse practitioner program as full-time students. (2) Second Funding Preference will be given to qualified applicants who are enrolled or accepted for enrollment in an accredited graduate nursing program for Doctor of Nursing Practice programs, programs for certified nurse midwives, certified registered nurse anesthetists, or clinical nurse specialists as full-time students. (3) Third Funding Preference will be given to qualified applicants who are enrolled or accepted for enrollment in an accredited diploma, undergraduate or graduate nursing program as part-time students. To the extent that funds remain available, all other applicants will be considered in the order of decreasing financial need.

Does anyone know if financial need is solely calculated by EFC? For example, assuming all things are equal between two candidates but one is going to a private school that cost 50k a year and the other is going to a school that costs 10k will they assume greater financial need to the candidate of the private school?
