I am an NP. I applied for the 2013 cycle. My facility score was 18 (so Tier 1) and my debt to income ratio was 84%. I was awarded the loan repayment. My strategy is to pay minimum payment on all the loans each month, and put the leftover amount into ...

Hi, Since there was a very extensive thread last year about application process to Yale, I thought I would start a new thread for 2009 hopefuls. I am working on my application and wanted to know who else chose Yale as one of their options. What progr...

Thanks Momomonny! I signed up for the CPR/AED for the Professional Rescuer and Healthcare Provider through the Red Cross and it stated that it was a 2 year certification unless you are a lifeguard than it was only for 1 year. Yale said that either Re...

WannabePNP, I applied to two lenders (Wells Fargo and Citigroup) for a private loan, and got pre-approved on both. I haven't signed any promissory notes yet, because I am going through the fine print on the terms pages to make sure I pick the best le...

Does anyone know how much the Prescription Plus coverage for the health insurance costs? I can't find any info anywhere... I signed up today for the CPR course for the professionals at our neighborhood Red Cross headquarters. I made a list of things ...

Hi Biddy, I received a $7800 scholarship but everything else is $0. I don't qualify for Federal Loans until the Spring semester, and I will have to take out a private loan for the Fall semester. I sure hope that the $65000 first year budget includes ...

Calalilly, If you are in the Oncology program, every student is encouraged to apply for the American Cancer Society scholarship. We will be eligible in our second year and the award is $10,000 per year for 2 years, which I think will help a lot. Her...

Calalilly, I don't want to sound harsh, but it is called Oncology NP track for a reason. As you know, cancer is a very complicated disease(s) so being trained as a nurse practitioner specializing in cancer, wouldn't you want to be focused on learning...

I specifically remember this being discussed at Yale info session that after we pass our NCLEX exam, it is strongly encouraged that we get some RN work experience. And I was told that most students work part-time as RNs while continuing on with their...

I am definitely going to Yale (since it was the only school I applied to) and I live in CT. However since I live about 1 hour away from New Haven, I will be relocating closer to New Haven in October when my lease is up. I am not up for a 2 hour daily...

Congratulations everyone!!!! It looks like we might have at least a quarter or a third of incoming class on this forum! I am very happy for all of you and can't wait to meet you in the Fall! CaliforniaGirl2, I believe we met at the Interview day at Y...

Considering that there is no mail delivery today, I would give them a call to ask about your status. Last year many people called and found out over the phone.

Congratulations cbink!

Congratulations to all of you who got in so far!:yeah:Those of you who are waiting, hang in there! I am so excited for all of us and can't wait to meet you.

Congratulations mme1283! And welcome to the thread!

Thanks everyone! Suga70, my specialty is Oncology NP. Lauralou2008, the letter says that the financial aid information packet will be mailed to us by the end of this month, but there is no exact date. So within next couple of weeks. I am crossing my ...

I was accepted!!!!:bowingpur I got my letter today! I live in CT so mail gets here fast. I am sure most of you will hear any day. I am sooo happy and I hope that you are my classmates! The acceptance letter is thin so don't assume anything when you s...

My mailman doesn't deliver my mail until 3-4 PM. I am not sure how I am going to get through the day. Every time my phone rings, my heart rate shoots up.

I am going out of my mind too! Made so many mistakes at work today... So basically nothing got accomplished either.

I also applied to Yale only. Putting all my eggs in one basket is very stressful, but due to my schedule there was no way I could fulfill the prerequisites required by other schools. So this waiting is making it even more excruciatingly painful becau...

I suspect the same thing. My stomach is in the knot and if we have to wait till next week I might develop some ulcers.... It is very difficult knowing that they met on the 9th, decided our faith, and now we are suspended in a limbo. I wish we just go...

I am not thrilled about the snail mail notifications. It is hard enough to keep checking your email mailbox, never mind sitting at work/school and thinking about whether back home there is a letter waiting... . I missed the closing remarks by Angela ...

WannabePNP, it is not just you. I have been replaying my interview and even having bad dreams about it. In my recent dream, my interviewer gives my application away for a review to another faculty member who decides that I am only minimally qualified...

I also had a great experience at Yale. The sessions were very informative and all my questions got answered. My interview went well, I think, and the program appears to be very organized. I did not get to meet any current students because it was clin...

Good luck on your interviews everyone! Please, report back about your experiences and impressions . Good news is that it will be sunny and relatively warm here in CT all week (no negative digits temperatures) and no snow!
