It does seem like forever! What specialties did you guys apply for?

Was anyone able to attend/view the graduate entry overview session yesterday? If so, any insight or information you found useful as an applicant? I'm also wondering what is considered competitive stats for this program. My GPA is pretty decent but not stellar. Anyone happen to know average GPA, acceptance rate, etc? I'm applying for PMHNP. Thanks for any replies and good luck to all!

I've been considering whether to apply for the FNP or PMHNP program at Ohio State University, and pretty much decided on PMHNP. However, I noticed that in this past admissions cycle, the school actually re-opened the application period for some of their programs including PMHNP for consideration of new applicants and even reconsideration of those who had already been rejected. My impression is that OSU is fairly competitive/selective in evaluation of candidates for their nursing programs, but I wonder whether unfilled spots throughout multiple NP specialities indicates a much lower number of applicants this year. And if that is the case, I'm just curious what could be likely reasons for a sudden drop in number of applicants. Less people interested in NP specialties outside of FNP? Less marketing/general awareness of the NP programs at OSU, or perhaps a school-specific issue that I'm unaware of? Or is this not really that unusual? If anyone has ideas or insight on this specific program, I'd be very interested in hearing your thoughts. Thanks!
