i got my letter a while ago. i didn't get an interview. i am crushed. i live in santa cruz, ca. the envelope was thin and small.

tsscal! i am so excited for you! i just ran to my mail and i don't have anything yet. i hope i get to see you on the 16th!

i'm in santa cruz, ca and no news yet. ahg!

star thanks for keeping us informed and for your generous offer. i hope i get to take you up on it.

just nervously checked the mail and nothing. stay strong!

oh and also, i am in santa cruz, about an hour south of sf. i think i am closer than you two. i will let you know as soon as i know anything. good luck!

judy & anand you're both right. i think i feel better knowing others are making themselves crazy too :) and you both have good points about it happening if it needs to happen. i need to take a deep breath and try to relax. i hope i get to meet bo...

knowing that the letters are coming any day i am freaking out about my application. my gpa is pretty low and my gre scores are good but not anything special. i have a lot of volunteer experience and i have worked in a community service field for year...

omg! where did you see it on the website? i can't find that info anywhere. i can't believe we'll have an answer in a couple days! good luck everyone!

uclover i too am on the verge of death :) i haven't really slept in a couple nights and i have a physio final tomorrow at 7am. i am obsessing over the mailbox. i checked it 4 times yesterday and the last 3 times i knew full well there would be nothi...

Star how are people opting out of the step out year? from my understanding it is a requirement. i know in my chosen specialty (neonatal) two step out years are required. thanks for the info and best of luck!

jcarranz you and i have similar work experience. i've worked with adults and children with mental and physical disabilities for almost 10 years. for the past 3 years i've been working in medical advocacy in the same field. i applied to the neonatal t...

tsscal i wrote two pages for my personal history statement and was one of the people worried that i missed the mark by writing so much. i emailed the admissions office a while ago and they said that the length is not an issue and won't affect the str...

HI everyone! I'm so glad to have a thread for 2009 applicants. I can't believe we get our letters in 3 weeks. When we submitted the apps it felt like years. I applied for the neonatal np track. I haven't heard of anyone else who has. Good luck to ev...

Hi All! My online app still says my letters are unavailable and doesn't even mention my transcripts. I'm hoping this is the case for everyone else too. I'm afraid to call and ask.

I'm the neonatal person. I had no clue there were two step out years required and I researched this program really well. Thanks for telling me Portrero. It doesn't change anything, it's still my dream. Really great post, lots of good info and reminde...

it still says 'not available' for all my letter writers. has anyone's online application changed? just curious.

whoa, that kind of freaks me out. are there only a couple neonatal spots or were there only a couple they wanted to admit? that sounds pretty competitive, but like you said we don't know how they determine the percentages. so it may be that only a fe...

has anyone heard anything about the neonatal track, in terms of competitiveness? i know the whole program is competitive but in terms of specific tracks i only know fnp and midwifery are particularly competitive. v517 and Haiku: what track did you ap...

Star Thanks for the input. I think I read on this thread that someone was interviewed in Spanish for a portion of their interview. I like you're answer better though. I can definitely speak it, I'll probably get so nervous that even my English will s...

ha! i'll try not to over-analyze it but i'm already over-analyzing my application. two and a half months of this is just cruel.

@MorePlease: Thanks! But now if they tell me to apply again, I will analyze it to death :) Hopeful: I know, I just signed up to volunteer at a local community center that's mainly Spanish speaking. This is killing me, I constantly feel nervous. In a...

More Please: I know this thread already has some info on this, but would you give us some insight into how your interview day went? Also, in general. Does anyone speak another language? I speak Spanish, ok, but another poster on the thread said they ...

i just received an email back from the admissions office saying that the length of the personal history statement will NOT affect our application!

i applied to the neonatal intensive care track, you? i'm taking my last pre-req (physiology), trying to study spanish, and i'm a TA for anatomy. i don't have any kids, just a very supportive boyfriend and 3 cats. i can't believe how much time this ha...
