  1. Yale GEPN 2021

    secondtimer14 replied to Psychmeout2's topic in School, College Programs

    It was good-sounding logic! We know for sure they were planning to meet third week; you never know if one specialty fell behind/is dragging its feet etc. But I think February 1 is very realistic. Plus...

  2. Yale GEPN 2021

    secondtimer14 replied to Psychmeout2's topic in School, College Programs

    I am not mentally prepared for it to be later than Monday. I blame the person who pointed out that the deadline to accept an offer (22nd) is three weeks after the 1st. That said, I know "first week of...

  3. Yale GEPN 2021

    secondtimer14 replied to Psychmeout2's topic in School, College Programs

    Optimism is probably too strong a word. Where I’m from daycares take 6-12 months on the wait list to get a spot, so I’m trying to make a general plan for each place I’ve applied (I only applied...

  4. Yale GEPN 2021

    secondtimer14 replied to Psychmeout2's topic in School, College Programs

    I have a question for current GEPN students on the thread - what time do classes generally start in the morning? I’m passing the time by being an optimist and looking into childcare options in New...

    Congrats!!

  6. Loyola Chicago ABSN Fall 2021

    secondtimer14 replied to sunnysideup3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The official admission letter is posted on my portal now

  7. Loyola Chicago ABSN Fall 2021

    secondtimer14 replied to sunnysideup3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi all! I applied January 4th and I noticed today my status has changed to admit checklist, so I think I'm in! It's my first nursing school acceptance

  8. Vanderbilt Pre-Specialty Entry 2021

    secondtimer14 replied to Guest1148094's topic in School, College Programs

    If we get into the same places, we'll have to connect offline ? I hate online classes too. I'm pretty optimistic with the vaccines that we'll be in person. Even if there's supply issues and the...

  9. Vanderbilt Pre-Specialty Entry 2021

    secondtimer14 replied to Guest1148094's topic in School, College Programs

    Spring of second year is in "middle TN" (within 3 hours of Nashville, I believe,) and then both Summer and fall of second/third year are two separate placements anywhere in the country. At least one...

  10. Vanderbilt Pre-Specialty Entry 2021

    secondtimer14 replied to Guest1148094's topic in School, College Programs

    Vandy does seem exceptional for its midwifery program. For me it's pretty much Vandy or Yale. All the other good direct-entry midwifery programs were either too expensive (location or tuition) or too...

  11. Vanderbilt Pre-Specialty Entry 2021

    secondtimer14 replied to Guest1148094's topic in School, College Programs

    I'd be looking in either 12-South or Hillsboro. Both of these have great public schools that are diverse and the neighborhoods are supposed to be great, and near Vandy. It's expensive though. But for...

  12. Vanderbilt Pre-Specialty Entry 2021

    secondtimer14 replied to Guest1148094's topic in School, College Programs

    Hello! I have similar hesitations about Nashville. I was raised on the west coast and I’m a POC. I know Nashville has a reputation for being funky and fun but I’m pretty sure it’s not as...

  13. Yale GEPN 2021

    secondtimer14 replied to Psychmeout2's topic in School, College Programs

    I believe it’s third-ish week August start but there’s orientation before that (which was remote last year - fingers crossed with the vaccine things will be mostly in

  14. Yale GEPN 2021

    secondtimer14 replied to Psychmeout2's topic in School, College Programs

    No, but my interviewer said they’re (faculty) meeting this week to discuss decisions, so it feels like 0 chance of an update this week. I could see popping on occasionally next week though

  15. Yale GEPN 2021

    secondtimer14 replied to Psychmeout2's topic in School, College Programs

    I’m going for midwifery so my MD alternative would have been OBGYN. I did seriously consider that route while in undergrad and started off as premed. But on top of it being such a long and expensive...

  16. Yale GEPN 2021

    secondtimer14 replied to Psychmeout2's topic in School, College Programs

    I also have to say - I think the cost of Yale is very fair. The cost is on par with all the local programs to me (including a public university). I mean, all these programs are pricey, but it...

    secondtimer14 replied to Psychmeout2's topic in School, College Programs

    I sent it later same day, and got a “it was nice meeting you. FYI we’re meeting third week so you should hear first week of February” response (I had *not* asked about when we would

  18. Yale GEPN 2021

    secondtimer14 replied to Psychmeout2's topic in School, College Programs

    Personally no I would not consider a DNP right out of the gate. Everyone in the field I’ve talked to says DNPs are not well developed yet. People don’t understand the difference (is it...

    I had a 4.0 prereq GPA, a 3.8 undergrad GPA, and my healthcare experience is as a volunteer doula (labor/childbirth "coach") (my ultimate goal is to become a certified

  20. Yale GEPN 2021

    secondtimer14 replied to Psychmeout2's topic in School, College Programs

    Thank you for sharing this. I just want to add - I really do think the interviews were conversational (or not) based on interviewer personality, not how strong a candidate you are. And I too...

  21. Yale GEPN 2021

    secondtimer14 replied to Psychmeout2's topic in School, College Programs

    Very well said. What I wanted to articulate earlier in the thread - I trust the criticisms of the current students/alum, they have been in Yale and lived the culture. What I’m doubting is that other...

  22. Yale GEPN 2021

    secondtimer14 replied to Psychmeout2's topic in School, College Programs

    I don't work for admissions or anything, but I'm pretty sure it's *not* just based on interview. Yale prides itself on its holistic process. And I'm quite worried I didn't get to hit enough of...

  23. Yale GEPN 2021

    secondtimer14 replied to Psychmeout2's topic in School, College Programs

    I'm stressing too. It is getting closer though. Ever so slowly. FWIW my interviewer mentioned unsolicitedly that they are meeting third week of Jan to discuss decisions, decisions "she guesses"...

  25. Vanderbilt Pre-Specialty Entry 2021

    secondtimer14 replied to Guest1148094's topic in School, College Programs

    I applied to Yale and Rush (Yale is direct entry into a specialty like Vandy, Rush is a generalist MSN). I received interviews at both; already had my interview at Yale and find out first week of...
