i recently applied to the direct entry or in some cases the combined bsn/msn programs at university of pennsylvania (pediatric oncology nurse practitioner), johns hopkins university (primary care pediatric nurse practitioner), marquette university (p...

That is awesome!!! How exciting!! CONGRATULATIONS! When do you begin school?

Hey! I think it is a good sign you received the financial aid packet. I received it the other day and over the summer when I met with Terry Witherington (the PNP director), she said that was a good sign to receive the packet. I don't think it is a...

I think what helped me out the most was definitely my interview and maybe my essays. My gpa is average (3.5), I submitted my GRE scores (1160), I have some volunteer and shadowing experience but nothing extensive. I actually got C's in both chemist...

Hi Ashley! Congratulations to you too! Which program did you apply to? I will private message you my email address so we can get into contact. Allison

Thanks so much!! I was honestly shocked...it had to have been the interview that helped me bc my gpa/gre is nothing impressive. I have no idea what I will pick, I'm hoping I can visit again and get some advice. Keep me updated with what you guys fi...

So I"m speechless....I got into Penn.

Thanks so much!! I was definitely excited/shocked. When my phone rang yesterday and I saw it was Maryland I freaked out haha. That makes me nervous for Penn, keep me posted when you hear back. Best of luck : )

Lauren, I'm so sorry to hear that about Hopkins. I think you have a good chance with your letter of reconsideration because you are definitely an exceptional canidate. Keep me updated on the rest of the schools as you hear back. I know it will all...

Hey, I found out I got accepted to Johns Hopkins but I haven't heard from the other schools yet. I believe we should hear from Penn around the first of February so pretty soon. Have you heard anything?

Ahhhh hopkins just called and i got in!!!! I cannot believe it!

I know exactly what you mean about the waiting be so difficult. I haven't heard anything yet either but I'm hoping sometime this week! If not this week, then it has to be in the next 2 weeks...I can't imagine it will be much longer. Hang in there!

Thanks for all the info Pianitra! You definitely sound like a unique applicant and obviously all your hard work paid off. It is definitely reassuring to know there are people out there who did try a second time around. It gives me hope that if it ...

I don't know if you have ever visited Vanderbilt or not but I went over the summer and fell in love with both the school and Nashville. The faculty that I met were all wonderful, very informative and friendly. Nashville is such a great city too! B...

Lauren, I'm trying to message you back but I haven't made enough posts yet so I'll get back to you asap : )

Congratulations mazinni! All your hard work has definitely paid off now that you have been accepted. That definitely encourages me to try again if I am not accepted this year. Well I know Hopkins is quite a bit more than $10,000 but just how much...

Congratulations, that's awesome! Where are you from? Did you find out today? Also, would you mind sharing your gpa/experience/etc.? I'm just trying to get an idea of what they look for so I can reapply next year if I am not accepted. I really app...

I haven't heard yet but I talked to Sylvia Lee today through e-mail and she said they are still making decisions and admissions decisions will be continuing through the start of February. I'm keeping my fingers crossed...and anxiously checking the m...

Thanks for responding so quickly! Congratulations, that is extremely exciting!! I fell in love with JHU after visiting for the interview and I can't stop thinking about that acceptance call/rejection letter and when it will be coming. I applied to...

ahh that makes me so nervous! When did they call you today? What program did you apply to?

Thanks for the information! That is great that you didn't lose all of your credits in the process of transfering. Marquette's program is the one I'm least familar with out of those I've applied to so I really do appreciate your post. Thanks again...

Wow, that is a great GRE score, I'm sure that will really help your application. Your gpa is not all that low, especially for having a degree in biology. I'm sure they will take into consideration your major. I thought Kim was very soft spoken too...

I've applied to Vanderbilt, Johns Hopkins, Penn, and Marquette, all for the direct entry programs, pediatric NP speciality. I haven't heard back from any of them yet but have completed interviews at Vanderbilt, Hopkins & Penn. I'm getting nervo...

Wow, you sound like an exceptional canidate for Penn. I'm sure even though such a small number of applicants are admitted, you will probably be one of them. I agree with you though about Penn inching up on my list of schools. I definitely think th...

Ya, I am assuming it will be starting within the next week or so. I'm getting very nervous! Lars23, did you apply for the accelerated BSN/MSN program?
