Vanderbilt.

Yes LOL. Super weird. I feel Like they wanted to send a reminder email for those of us who haven’t given them an answer yet maybe but didn’t know how to LOL?

I’ll be attending Vandy as well! Best of luck everyone ? and thanks for your words of wisdom and support.

Thank you both. That's what I was thinking. If I got in, I wouldn't want to hold someone else's spot. I think I'm going to reach out.

Would it be a wise decision to email admissions/Oz and say I would like to take myself out of consideration since I accepted a spot elsewhere? Or should I just wait till I hear back? Best of luck everyone, may we all get into our top choice(s) (and more importantly the best fit program for us).

The accelerated BSN to DNP. To my knowledge they are no longer accepting to this specialty this year. You can check the OHSU nursing website Or contact admissions for more information. thanks futurenurseis it was a hard decision because I loved the faculty at OHSU and it seems like there’s some incredible opportunities there.

Thank you. I got into a program that’s only two years and ranked really high in the country for psych. I’m also not sure I want to live in Portland for four years (I’m from out of state) and want to start working sooner. It’s been a hard decision for me to make

I got Into the direct entry Accbac-DNP for psych!! I’ll be turning down my spot though.

I havent heard anything about financial aid from Penn but it doesn’t seem like from past years I can expect them to be generous.... even if they gave me a huge amount like 30k for Accelerated BSN portion vandy would still be cheaper lol.

I’m giving up my spot due to how expensive the program is and having received admission to a more cost effective program. Hopefully Others gets off the waitlist Soon. I was waitlisted at Yale, it’s such a stressful feeling! I know at least one other person who is going to another program too. I feel Like they probably take a good portion just because of how costly it is.

It’s a very expensive program. I was not offered a scholarship either. Vanderbilt offered me a small scholarship and it’s cheaper (two years instead of three and location is cheaper) so I’ll be committing there. look into Nurse Corps - I know someone that did this to make it more affordable. I’ve also heard from Someone in law school if you get into a cheaper school you can use that to try to get more money from the school you want more but I’m not sure if that usually works (it worked for him though).

Thank you for your thoughtful response. My friend is trying to stay in Nashville (So I’m sure that’s making things harder) but she’s having a pretty hard time finding a job as an AGACNP. It seems like it might not be as big of an issue in psych.

Is anyone else here Slightly worried about the short length of the NP portion? I want to make sure I’m ready and will be a competent NP. I know no matter what program we graduate from we’ll need some training after. Any chance the previous/current students on here can speak to the quality of the clinical placements and how easy/difficult it is to find a job after? I’ve been accepted for PMHNP but any general insight is appreciated. Someone I know graduated from the AGACNP this year and she’s been telling me she’s having a hard time finding job.

Im likely picking Vandy due to cost, length, and location. It’s also #2 in the country for PMHNP so has to be somewhat good right? Lol Penn has not given me any info regarding scholarships yet (I submitted The FAFSA late) but it seems unlikely I’ll get a big amount. Its hard to turn down penn because of the name but length of program is a huge factor. I was also waitlisted at Yale and unimpressed with their Response to my question regarding clinical placements.

Does anyone have a copy of their curriculum or can send me a link? For some reason I cant See it on their website.

I was accepted too! I was also accepted at penn for PMHNP but Penns price tag is honestly insane. I’m only concerned that the short program will not prepare me adequately to be an NP.

I just heard and got in. No info about scholarships or financial aid.... anyone know anything about that?

I could be wrong, but I’ve looked at previous threads and it seems like this is fairly common for them? Yale also has extended their deadline in the past (and this year) seems their usual is about two weeks. My guess as to why MGH does this is to make sure people are working on their applications while still understanding that many people start and don’t finish in time, or don’t get the materials in time. There’s also the added component that perhaps many really good applicants have different schools in mind and maybe for whatever did not get in or could not attend due to cost etc so a deadline extension allows for MGHI to get some strong applicants that may not have originally applied to consider them as well. I do wish they’d do some sort of priority decision/early action considerations. edit: sorry Im sending this from my phone And it’s late so lots of grammar mistakes - I hope that made sense haha

Wow, thank you so much for your (super) kind words! I really Appreciate the support. I’m really sure I did horrible but it’s okay. I sincerely hope you get a spot and feel like you have a good shot based on how articulate and compassionate you are. Seattle U would be lucky to have you!

Penns is very expensive and it’s three years but it is not a doctorate.

I'd prefer not to give specifics about my interview but it did not go well (psych specialty). Every question I got had several parts to it and I started to get nervous and like i wasn't answering well. I got into Penn yesterday, so I'm relieved I'll have a great option if I don't get into Seattle (which seems likely now).

They did say they'd be doing it in waves. I have an interview next week for PMHNP but I'm fairly sure they're doing more! I'm out of state and doing it by my phone...but a lot of people are flying out, which is making me worry.

Thanks for your input! I'd love to hear more about your experience in the program. How are your clinical placements?

I really can't believe they don't even give you a full month to make a decision. I almost wonder if they do this to get their top picks of students before other programs offer admission.

Congratulations on your acceptance to Yale. That is an incredible accomplishment! It does seem that they're generous. My top choice is Vandy, mostly due to location and length of program, but I'm unsure what my chances are there since I got waitlisted at Yale I'm not super hopeful at this point with Vandy.
