I GOT IN!!!! How'd it go for everyone else? Does anyone know when we find out about the Duke days?

Ya, I've never had a problem. They always answer my calls!

Just to give some people some hope, in the webinar I attended a few weeks ago they said there average GPA ranges. SO in the last fall cohort it was an average of 3.4-3.5 but in the last cohort it was an average of 3.5-3.6!

I am applying as well for the spring 2019 cohort! Currently editing my essays now. Does anyone have any tips/ideas for essay #3? I am honestly struggling trying to write this :/ A little bit about me: -Graduating in May from Emory University with a degree in Neuroscience -Have a 3.6 GPA and a 3.9 GPA in pre-recs -Have done medical mission work in Africa, on the exec. board of multiple clubs, and a supervisor at my current job

I am currently a senior at Emory University majoring in Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology looking at potential post graduation options. I have decided to go into nursing as opposed to pre-med (my previous thought) because of the more patient based experience. I am interested in becoming a Nurse Practitioner specializing in either FNP, ENP, or doing a combined program. I would like advice going forward with my education, the different paths I could take, and choosing a specialty that suits what I want to do. Here comes the fun part- I have a very wide variety of interests that encompass many different fields- all of which excite me. Some interests include: being a traveling (Locum Tenen) nurse, working in wilderness medicine ( encompassing camp medicine with child groups), expedition medicine, working on military bases, traveling and working abroad with NGO/military/FBI/CIA/Government programs. I am an extremely adventurous person with a love for kids yet the desire to travel and practice medicine along the way. I have a strong love for the outdoors along with a terrible drug addiction to adrenaline. The more excitement the better for me. Does anyone have any ideas as to my path/speciality moving forward? Know anyone who has done similar things and what path they took to get there? My conflict here is in some instances an ENP would be critical for military based positions and emergency response teams into the wilderness and the ability to fulfill my adrenaline needs, yet an FNP degree would be useful for primary care in the wilderness/traveling along with allowing me to work with more autonomy and allowing me to work with children. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!
