Thank you so much, that is really helpful and great advice! Do you know of or feel that there are major differences between the two schools/programs to be aware that people outside of the nursing community may not know (I.e. me!)? I really like your thoughts on the benefits of being in Philly, I hadn't thought about all of the resources that would be available in a larger city that may not be in a smaller one like New Haven. Could I ask what ultimately swayed your decision one way or the other? I am so caught up in them both being amazing that I don't know where to focus my thoughts/energy!

Hello! I was accepted to Yale's GEPN Program and UPenn's BSN/MSN Program. I was admitted into both for the FNP specialty, although I am hoping to get to focus on the populations I am most interested in (women and/or adolescents). I am so torn between the two and am hoping for input from others deciding between the two and/or people who have attended the program(s). Yale Pros: More time spent in school, collaboration between med school/PA school, can take courses in other specialties, more affordable, can tailor clinical placements (my interviewer told me this), location - I prefer New Haven over Philly Cons: Lower ranking, come out with just an MSN, apparently there is a lot of shifting of faculty happening in the GEPN program UPenn Pros: Wider variety of clinical placements, higher ranking, get a BSN and an MSN, seems easier to get RN experience during the program since there's a short break between the two portions and you can do the MSN part-time, research interests of faculty seem to be more vast Cons: More expensive, starts in June, BSN portion could be taken with undergrads, less familiarity with the school/program/city/etc. These are two amazing programs that I am lucky to be choosing between but it is a huge investment and I want to make sure I am considering every factor before deciding so excited to hear any thoughts!

Hi everyone! I thought I'd start this thread for anyone else who applied to the Northeastern Direct Entry Program for 2021!
