    Duke University FNP Fall 2024

    Hi. I had to dig through old text messages with clients to figure this out. Seems like last year was late April. But honestly, this varies so widely from year to year. The best way to find this out is...

    Duke University FNP Fall 2024

    It sounds like your very well prepared for this program. ? Regarding personal statements, I have SO much to say, it's hard to know what specifically applies to you. But I can say the most important...
  4. Not sure if you were in the info session that Penn just had but in case you weren't: it sounds like for the new MPN program the "interviews" are just the video recordings you submit with your...

    Duke University FNP Fall 2024

    Just wanted to throw this out there since no one replied: I'm an admissions mentor, not a current student. But if you have any specific questions about the application process, I'm happy to share with...
  6. Hi! So sorry I missed this message! This is a really big question that completely depends on your academic background, how long of a process you are prepared for, and finances. About half my clients...

    Yale GEPN 2023

    I can't speak directly to Yale's program (I attended Penn's), but I think this is probably true of most programs similar in structure, so I'm going to speak super generally and hope it helps a little....

    YALE GEPN 2022

    A bit late to this topic but still wanted to add my two cents since I've seen dozens at this point and feel like I can speak to commonalities in resumes/CVs of accepted students and how to decide what...

    UCSF Fall 2021

    Hi! While I can't speak firsthand about the student experience of UCSF's program (Penn grad here), I'm happy to answer more admissions-leaning questions here or in DMs. Just didn't want to leave you...
  12. This is a really big topic and super school-dependent. If I could give general advice to cover most questions, it would be to be prepared to answer in detail why you want to attend that particular...

    YALE GEPN 2022

    Everyone I've spoken to has sent or is planning to send thank you emails. I remember back when I was interviewing, I had the same issue. I emailed admissions and asked for the interviewer's email. I...
  14. I know this waiting period between submitting your application and an interview invitation can be quite anxiety-provoking. I've been there. But there is something you can do about it. There's often a...

    YALE GEPN 2022

    When I attended their info session and tried asking about it, they were surprisingly tight-lipped. They wouldn't share their acceptance rate but said that last cycle they had to reduce the number of...
