1) GRE's are de-emphasized. 2) If you have at least a 1000 or so, you are fine. 3) I have no idea what your chances are, but that's my program, and there were only 2 of us last year. FNP is the most competitive. Other programs are less so. I thi...

"I just know that this program is REALLY competitive, and I want to know if I even have a shot!" I think you have a good chance of getting in. Your GPA and GRE will both be a little bit lower than median, but you have a lot of good experience in th...

And this is my last post, for the 15 I need: Don't sweat the GRE's too hard, I think they intentionally de-emphasize it. On the other hand, do make sure you stress your history of doing civic volunteerwork, and try to present this history with as muc...

Also, (pardon the separate posts, but I need to have 15 to be able to PM on this site) - your essay really, really needs to show "congruence" with your stated goals. You whole application really needs to hang together, present a coherent picture, s...

As a former MEPN, I just want to stress how helpful it is to speak a second language. If you don't - consider doing an immersion program or taking some classes. Doing volunteerwork related to that would also be extremely helpful.

Also, Thanks for posting this info, folks!

Thanks for posting this info, folks!

I would check out UT's RODP program - they are cheap for in-state students.

I am very interested in the UT RODP program - I am from the knoxville area, and would love to talk to anyone who is in the program who would answer questions about it. However, if you could contact me off this site - I am not sure I'll get messages i...

RN007: I have been trying to figure out how to PM you, but this site won't seem to let me for some reason . I would love to ask you a few questions about your experience with ETSU / RODP. Please let me know if there is a way I can do this. Much a...

OK, I collected emails from all who expressed interest, and created a google group. For all who are, or might be, attending MEPN starting in 07, and did not get invited to join the group, drop me an email, with the email address you would like added,...

Hey there! Thanks Jaxnaud: I am collecting emails - I have some from people I already met, and I just sent private messages to a number of folks on this forum. I figure it will be helpful to pool information - about scholarships, financial aide, and ...

Oh (and I am obviously obsessing here, lol), for anyone who gets into MEPN and want to have a get-together before june 22 or whatever, let's do it!!

PS My letter was postmarked on the 28th, but I only live about a mile from UCSF. God, what torture it must be for those farther off . . . knowing that decision is just floating aimlessly through the mail . . . I wouldn't know what to do!

WOOP WOOP!!!! I'm in!! Much love! ~Solon

ChickenLLBird: I am currently waiting on UCSF as well, but I have been told by various MEPN students that microbio is extremely useful to know; after they are asked what classes would be most useful to have taken before enrolling. My calss is a med...

There are a number of people I know who have heard from Yale and are waiting on UCSF . . . I only applied to UCSF, so I just need to wait on that one answer Which has its ups and downs, i suppose. :)

I wanted to reply to anyone who is interested, particularly PC2, since (he/she?) asked. I did get an interview, and if you would like to know more about me, my background, or my essay, feel free to email me. I had very competitive scores (near ...
