Hey MC, This was last year's thread. I'm not sure if there's a 2009 Google group. Hunt for the 2009 folks, then maybe start a group. It was really helpful and fun for us last year. Jenn

Yes, financial aid covers living expenses. You won't live a luxurious life, but you'll have a roof and food to eat. And, it's not 60K x 3. The first year is the most expensive because of the added Summer fees. And, you're not obligated to take all t...

Has anyone else had success with recording lectures? If so, how do you use the recordings (when do you listen, how many times, etc.)? And, what kind of recorder did you buy?

i disagree on this one. going without a given vaccination makes your body an excellent carrier. though your strong immune system may ward it off, when you walk into those pt rooms, you're exposing vulnerable people to whatever you're carrying around.

Sorry, I just realized that this topic originated in the regional forum for the Philippines. Maybe you don't need to specify the country if you are a local.

hi there, to be clear, are you working on your proposed topic or your proposed title? if the answer is 'title', i would make several changes. first, you need to reference the fact that this study is philipines-specific. if you're talking about a gov...

Hi Kryzt, Some schools will want the letters included in your application package, and other will want them sent separately. I'm not sure how other people do it, but here's what I do... I put together a packet for each letter writer in a manila enve...

I think the answer to your question depends on your desired career. Do you want to work in a clinical setting? Or do you want to work in policy, research, program planning, consulting, etc? If it's more of the latter, and less of the former, I don't ...

Wow, this is quite a thread. I'm not sure it's wise, but I'd like to throw in my .02 as someone who made a decision this year between public and private ivy programs. I'm a vegan, so I don't beat dead horses. But, if you find this redundant, sorry....

I've generally found that the difference between an A and a B is a lot greater than the difference between a B and a C, in terms of work. It usually means that you spend one of your weekend days working in a coffee shop or library. I have a BA with h...

Letters haven't arrived in Portland, OR either. I shouldn't care since I've already decided on Yale. But, I don't want the wounded ego if it's a no. Maybe I will recycle it unopened (lol, like I could do that).

I was just told that they went out today. Then again, I've heard that before too....

Has anyone heard any news from OHSU? I applied to the Advanced BS to Masters CNM program, and I am anxiously awaiting a letter.

Hi Doulalove, I'm sorry. I know that's frustrating. I have a close friend in the same shoes. They asked us to notify them by 3/7. I asked for an extension to 3/14. But, I may not need it. I am leaning heavily toward Yale. I think they do letters in...

I aksed about class size during my interview. Overall, their target is 82-84 GEPNs. Personally, I think pre-reqs are a good thing. I can relate to struggling in stats or chem, etc. But, it's part of the path. It levels the playing field to some exten...

How much do you guys think turning in the forms late affects things? Or, does it only affect how quickly you get your packet in the mail?

I got in! Anybody else?

Woo hoo. I got an email too for the nurse-midwifery program! Congrats everybody!!!

I am in a similar position, but I am also not sure if I can be of any help... OHSU did not accept my nutrition and developmental psych classes. I thought this was pretty silly, but I had to retake them. I started online courses before I even knew for...

I loved it! Then again, I was born and raised in California.

Whew, its nice to be done with the interview! Congrats to everyone who went today.

Hi Sheilanagig, I don't have a second interview date...are we supposed to? My letter says that there will be two interviews on the day that I am there - one focusing on nursing in general, and the other on midwifery. I am not in the Bay Area anymore....

There is always the option of a phone interview. I think they understand that this is a stressful, difficult time and that not everyone has the money or a job that will allow them to take off for a couple days. I know Yale will allow you to do your i...

OMG, Finally!!!! I just got my letter. The waiting was infinitely worse, knowing everyone had already gotten theirs a week ago. I got an interview for the midwifery specialty. Any other midwifery folks going on the 25th? Whew. That's Yale and UCSF so...

Good thing I can get wireless from inside the mailbox! It is mighty cold and cramped in here though!
