Just flew in from California as well!

Yo, you actually attending? I got several offers from other schools but IDK something is pulling me here I think next cycle is best.

thanks for your response David I emailed Financial Aid and they said that the average amount of loans students take out is around 115,000. I also did some calculations, and yes, the majority of funding will come from loans, however, we must remember that billing is per semester, not all at once. The goal every semester would be to minimize the amount of loans that you take in. After the first year, you'll be able to work upon passing the NCLEX. To make it possible it will be a combination of Loans, personal funds and work. apply for FAFSA Save up then think about which private loans to accept.

Can any graduate of the GEPN program tell us how much in loans you took out for this? I calculated through Excel that we'd need ~200,000. Please tell me my calculations are incorrect!!

Hi everyone, currently living on the West Coast and seriously thinking about this program. Anyone else from here? We could support eachother as this is a big move. Pm me if you are :).

Thank you for this comment. If I could ask, has anyone who completed the program found success in getting a job after graduation? If so how much is the estimated pay? Where do yall work? Did the Yale name make it easier getting a job?

Anyone else doing the AG Acute Care NP Specialty? Do we have to find our own clinical sites?

I agree. Many of us are at a fork in the road. Do we bite the bullet and study at one of the most recognized universities in the world on PRIVATE loans which aren't guaranteed to have any safe guards such as those offered from the federal government, or do a cheaper program?

I had sometime to think after the financial aid event. Something just seems off about accepting private loans to cover the ENTIRE tuition and cost of attendance. Even if it's at a lower APY. This means that if we do accept Yales proposed private loan, For the cost of the program, is this even worth it? For those that received the scholarship, we'd still be at almost 160,000 for the entire program, we'd be paying close to 2000 dollars a month with that APY they stated and it's not even guaranteed it will be that low. Even at a "nice" 4.99% rate the private loan could have: ❌ No income-driven repayment ❌ No PSLF ❌ No safety net if income dips ❌ Required payment every month, no matter what This is very different from federal loans. what's the point of getting an NP license if we're still going to struggle paying off the debt for the rest of our lives. These are just my thoughts and rough Due diligence. Thoughts?

Thank you so much for this information.

I heard back earlier this week. Does anyone know how this would be financially viable? With all the political stuff from the BBB, how can we pay for the program if someone is low-income?
