Hi there, I got a Nov. 29th interview for CNM specialty. Got the email to check my application this monday for the updated status. I got my application in maybe a day before the Oct. 1st deadline. It's honestly really disheartening to see these kinds of complaints about affirmative action on this board. Something great about Yale's program is they really care about the applicant as a whole person, and from what I understand they want to make sure the GEPN and the candidate are a good fit. They're not trying to fill a quota. They are trying to build a diverse cohort (diverse in every way, which is why there is no cut-off GPA, GRE score, or pre-req. requirement) that can help advance the mission of better health for all people. I am super excited to interview for this program, and I have been working tirelessly for the past year to get pre-requisites done (for other programs) and prepare for my GRE while maintaining my other commitments. If I get accepted to this program, it's because I deserve to be a part of the cohort and I have something to offer to Yale School of Nursing and the field of Nursing.
