So we did a detailed breakdown in our Yale 2018 thread, but they've changed so much since last year. I *think* roughly 400-500 people apply, 150-200 people get interviews, and 75% of those who were invited to interview end up getting accepted. Mind y...

Absolutely. Yale cares about how you approach healthcare, and what you can contribute to bettering healthcare for everyone. It has nothing to do with stats, numbers: everything is about YOU. Who you are, what you have done, and what you want to do in...

Hello! Yes, it is pretty common for people to have completed the prerequisite courses! A lot of people who apply to Yale also apply to programs that have the requirements. I will say, though, that it is definitely a good idea to take A&P--some pe...

Hi SingleCoffeeFilter! I don't think affirmative action always applies to grad admissions; however, I'm not privy to the admissions process. From what it seems, though, Yale chooses people based on merit and contribution, without a diversity requirem...

Hi, RTJones! I can't speak to having a family, but I do have a spouse, and while it's difficult to find time where we both are free, rest assured that it isn't impossible. My typical hours are as follows: M: 8-12, 2-4 T: 7-7 W: off R: 8-12, 1-4 F: 8-...

Financial aid is pretty much solely based on your FAFSA/income. However, because Yale's program is considered a Master's Entry program (as opposed to accelerated BSN/MSN programs), you have access to GradPLUS loans through federal student loans.

As far as how busy it is... It's definitely a lot, but by no means impossible. Generally we have 15 hrs of lecture per week, plus 12 hours of clinical, two hours of Interprofessional Longitudinal Clinical (with students from the med school and PA sch...

Hi, @1776lady! To answer your questions: I am in the midwifery track! As for why Yale...gosh, there's so many reasons! To start, the love and passion the faculty have for students and our success is so palpable. Everyone really cares about us-such ...

Hey everyone! Current GEPN here. Happy to answer any questions you may have-this thread and the GEPN voices were SO helpful for me last year and I want to pay it forward!

Hey everyone! Now that applications have been out for a while, has anyone started the process of applying for the Yale GEPN program? I hope that your applications are going well if you have! Also, if there are any current GEPN students that happen ac...

@Alatosea and @NP2B404, when I applied at the October 15th deadline to hear back on November 15th, I didn't receive a status update until a couple weeks later, on November 29. They try to get all decisions out by the posted date, but sometimes for wh...

So incredibly happy, humbled, and grateful to have received an interview for midwifery on 1/25! Congrats to those who also received interviews, and to those who didn't: you are all incredible people who will go on to become incredible NPs. I'm sendin...

I know this week is going to be incredibly nerve-wracking for all of us until we get our interview decisions! I just wanted to say that no matter what happens, you all are wonderful people who will go on to have incredible nursing careers. Happiest o...

franklin_washington, thank you so much for the congratulations!! To clarify, I applied way back in July and didn't hear back on the November 15th date; I think my application may still have been under review.

Crying happy tears, I just received my acceptance for the midwifery track! I can't believe it! As a few words of encouragement to those starting to apply, I have a terrible cumulative GPA: a 2.93. I wholeheartedly believe they look at you as more th...

Was so thrilled and humbled to receive an interview invitation! I'm so incredibly happy :) Congrats to all who received good news today!

Hey mmarra! I applied to the CNM specialty.

It's application due date! I hope you all successfully compiled all of your needed letters of recommendation, transcripts, and are satisfied with what you've submitted. Congrats to all who applied, we did it! Now the waiting game begins :) Best of lu...
