Hello! I was wondering if anybody can tell me anything about the environment of this school - Western University of Health Sciences - the MSN-entry program. I was recently admitted, and they didn't require that I go on an interview. Did anyone interv...

I'll be coming from Providence/Boston area. I'm debating about whether or not to apply to be an RA - the perks are amazing (the comfort of campus security, free housing, etc); But also, I was an RA during my undergrad, and I reported to a Grad Studen...

Me! I just sent in my deposit last week, so I'm set on going to Penn! It's nice to see another fellow student out here. The cost is giving me some anxiety as well. Are you a summer start? I'm in the Summer Start BSN/MSN program for Women's Health. Do...

Hi Tanya! I was trying to choose between UPenn & Yale as well, and I ended up choosing UPenn! I know that UPenn offers a Complementary & Alternative Medicine course for the Women's Health speciality, but it might also be available as an elect...

Hello! I just found out that I got into Vanderbilt's Women's Health/Adult Health NP program! I don't know what they require for grades, but I e-mailed them about the avg GRE/GPA of the entering class last year - it turned out that last year's class h...
I applied to Women's Health, and I'm pretty sure I received a call from the general "admissions office" - possibly even Theresa? I received my phone call at the end of the day on Thursday (5PM), and she also mentioned that she was "going down the lis...

Hi cheakeemonkee! I also did the $500 deposit, and I got into 2 schools the week afterwards! I was tormented by the deadline date and having no other prospects for schooling. Oh well. Glad to have your opinion on the city.

Me too! Congrats to you! I was so excited to hear about the news - I'm still waiting to hear from Yale, but Penn had been my top choice throughout this whole process! I wonder when we'll hear about the MSN decisions?

Just got back from mine too! I had a weird interview... it was not really a conversation, but one in which my interviewer asked me very specific questions, expecting specific answers in a limited time frame. She was transcribing my answers to a works...

Hmm I thought the "block interview" process just meant that the interview day is sectioned off into blocks (orientation/welcome, lunch, financial aid sessions, personal interviews), and personal interviews are held in different offices at different t...

From what I understand, you can get into Medical School with a bachelor's degree in anything. There is no "pre-med" degree per se, just a pre-med curriculum. All you have to do is fulfill the prerequisites, which usually involves 2 semesters of Chemi...

Hello everybody! Congrats to everyone on getting an interview with Yale! I have a question about the dress code during interviews. I've had several phone interviews, but I haven't had the chance to do a personal interview yet. Would a full pants-suit...
Hi everybody, I have to complete a phone interview with UPenn for the accelerated BSN program... any tips? I've never had a phone interview before. How formal/flowing is the content? Will it be an informational interview (ie Penn will tell me about i...

I e-mailed admissions officers about this (I'm applying to some of the same schools!) Penn did not give an average GRE, but the avg GPA range for accepted students is 3.35-3.45. I'd suggest that you e-mail the admissions people, give them your stats...

Thank you so much! I woke up today and felt much better about everything. You're right - I think my perfectionist ego got the best of me yesterday. I contacted some admissions officers about this, and they were really helpful. Now I can move on to mu...
