Hi there, My name is Janelle and I'm applying for class 176! i'm super nervous. I read somewhere that they usually take 6-8 weeks after the deadline to get back to you on whether you've been accepted or not. i'm not sure how the application is weighed.My cumulative GPA was good but I was worried they might want more OB experience to get into the CNM program? I actually work with someone who is in the program who says it's tough but she loves it. In regards to the clinical placements, I believe she talked about a website on the student portal that gives you a list of acceptable clinical sites and we have to seek these preceptors out from these places.
