I am not doing the ACNP track, but rather the Critical Care/Trauma CNS - so you might not find my input valuable, but I volunteered for a year on an ICU. That seemed to be helpful for my application. I knew a lot about CC/T. THere weren't any CNS' or...

Congratulations Nat! I'm looking forward to a get together - Lisa (Chicken LL)

Congratulations Blair! That's fantastic. Prospective Z, hang in there I'm rooting for you - Chicken LL (Lisa)

Congratulations jaxnaud (Karen)! See you in June. I am disappointed by how many people got waitlisted twice in a row. It just seems like a mystery formula to me if people have that experience. I'm really feeling for you guys and hope that this, someh...

Wow, bluedreamofsky, that's really brutal. I am so sorry. We have to let UCSF know by March 14th. I am sure that some people will prefer Yale or other schools, 1st on the wait list is good! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you - Chicken LL

Thank you Berkeley Mom, I'm pretty excited. I'm off to dinner with a friend! We can all do this, everyone hang in there! - lisa

jaxnaud, Nat, all of you - I'm pulling for you. Let us know tomorrow. Fingers crossed! - Lisa (Chicken LL)

I got my letter today and I'm in! What a relief, I will be emailing Solon! - lisa

I got my letter today, I'm in! I'm so excited! The envelope was post-dated 02/28/07 and the letter was March 1st. I live in Sacramento, so that gives you an idea of travel time. Hooray! I'm hoping that you are all the same. If not, I'm very sorry and...

Sorry, I should be sending this to Kris directly but I'm not exactly sure how to do that. Please forgive! Kris -my name is Lisa, I am a white woman with light brown hair. I was wearing a black suit and turquoise sweater at the MEPN lunch. I asked a q...

Thanks for sharing the information on the mail out. That helps. Kris, I remember you from the Interview Day, I am sure you will get in! You have a unique specialty and definitely distinguished yourself in a good way. (We were at the same MEPN lunch)....

Sorry for any repetition, operator errors galore today. Thanks to NurseinTraining76 for the Micro advice. As far as calling and pleading your case, at our interview session (Januart 26th) Dr. Ziehm specifically said not to call in the case that you'v...

Congratulations on your interviews! - ChickenLL

I'm still taking prerequisites for my back-up school. Microbiology and a Biology with Genetics. I've found it challenging to find motivation to study with the decision hanging over my head. I'll drop those classes so fast my head's gonna spin if I ge...

I interviewed on the 31st and the 26th (this was the 2nd interview day), so we didn't meet. I heard then, too, that they might get the letters out early. I am really trying to visualize a positive response, like jaxnaud - can't really imagine the rej...

Yes, 13 days until March 5th, which I figure is a drop-dead mail delivery date... but I like 10 days much better! That's a great idea to take the day off. When I applied to Yale, they called us on the phone, no idea if UCSF will do that. But that was...

I was totally exhausted after the interview day - it's hard to be "on" that long and definitely a bit unnerving to hang with your competition for so long. If I get in, I will have amazing classmates. I just wanted to share one more tidbit, when we as...

After interview day at UCSF, I think one of the really weird and unknowable factors is which specialties will be heavily impacted in a given year. Midwifery candidates I met were all doulas. Every single one! That's an accomplishment in itself. It's ...

Yeah, I am trying hard to stay busy until the 1st. But I can't help checking the mail every day with way too much emotional attachment. For many of us it will be rejection, so I am trying not to rush it. I have a back-up school, but UCSF was just inc...

Interviewed at UCSF in January. I'd like to say I am patiently waiting until March 1st, but I'm struggling at that. :stone I want to know their decision, but don't need to hurry a rejection letter either. I've been accepted to the University of Port...
