  1. Need interview help!!! Northeastern Direct Entry

    Redsox17 replied to Nahbois's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The only thing I can say is that I dont think NP school should be a 'last minute' decision. I've been working on my application since last year, and had sent out several applications in October. I...

  2. Need interview help!!! Northeastern Direct Entry

    Redsox17 replied to Nahbois's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Simmons doesn't have a "bad rep", but the avg GPA of an accepted applicant is 3.0 (compared to 3.5-3.7 for the big name programs) and they don't require GREs (a major factor in big schools decisions)....

  3. Need interview help!!! Northeastern Direct Entry

    Redsox17 replied to Nahbois's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Im going to BC next year for the master's entry program. Its the shortest, and cheapest program in boston with a reputation that speaks for itself. I was given a partial scholarship, which helped...

  4. Need interview help!!! Northeastern Direct Entry

    Redsox17 replied to Nahbois's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have looked at both of the schools, and I guess I can give you a neutral opinion because I'm already going somewhere else! Personally, I feel MGH and Simmons are on the same page academically,...

  5. Need interview help!!! Northeastern Direct Entry

    Redsox17 replied to Nahbois's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Simmons has good location, a strong undergrad program in nursing, and a pretty good reputation. I met with the director of the direct-entry program a while back--their focus is very clinical based,...

    Redsox17 replied to Nahbois's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The only news is that rolling admissions is a terrible way to do grad school

  7. Boston College Pre-Req - Life Sci Chem?

    Redsox17 replied to thisAdventure's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Congrats on your decision, and good luck! How much is Yale going to cost you (just

  8. Need interview help!!! Northeastern Direct Entry

    Redsox17 replied to Nahbois's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I got into BC and haven't heard from NEU yet (BC accepts less than NEU does). I don't think not hearing from them yet means we're not in. I think it has to do with the rolling

  9. 2009 Direct Entry MSN at MGHIHP

    Redsox17 replied to Samm13's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Did anyone receive a scholarship to MGH? I heard they give some merit scholarships, but I was wondering how many (I know they went out with the acceptance letters). I got accepted to MGH early, so I...

  10. Need interview help!!! Northeastern Direct Entry

    Redsox17 replied to Nahbois's topic in First Year After Licensure

    NEU is rolling admissions so if you submitted your app close to the deadline, chances are you haven't heard back yet. I applied close to the deadline and haven't heard

  11. Boston College Pre-Req - Life Sci Chem?

    Redsox17 replied to thisAdventure's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I got into the Adult NP specialty. I'm really excited about it because I can do a 'concentration' in either cardiology, oncology, or critical care! Good luck in your

  12. Boston College Pre-Req - Life Sci Chem?

    Redsox17 replied to thisAdventure's topic in Post Graduate Students

    If it makes you feel any better, I turned down an Ivy for BC. BC has better location than Yale, costs less than Yale, and I think its more competitive than Yale. Coming from a background in science, I...

  13. Columbia ETP 2009

    Redsox17 replied to jnd1213's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Congratulations!! I think you're definitely making the right choice...You gotta go where the money is, and Boston is the best (REDSOX HELL YA)! The Co-op should give you some great experience, and you...

  14. Columbia ETP 2009

    Redsox17 replied to jnd1213's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Congrats on Marquette! I agree that the tuition is way to much and I'm going to BC instead (half as much as Columbia). I can't imagine how long it would take to pay off a loan like that and I think...

  15. Northeastern University Direct Entry

    Redsox17 replied to jane415's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    pretty sure every NU starts clinicals right away. Have you decided between Yale and BC yet? I'm interested to hear what your decision was! Can't really go wrong with those

  16. Northeastern University Direct Entry

    Redsox17 replied to jane415's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Ya, I applied about a week before the deadline too and haven't heard anything either. I wouldn't worry about it, it seems like the applications are reviewed on a rolling

  17. Northeastern University Direct Entry

    Redsox17 replied to jane415's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I was accepted to Columbia as well and all I can really say the difference between the two is the time frame. NU's program is 4 years and Columbia's is 2.5. You'll also carry about 150k in loans...

  18. Boston College Pre-Req - Life Sci Chem?

    Redsox17 replied to thisAdventure's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi I was accepted to BC and was wondering if anyone heard about any accepted students' day? I've sent in my deposit a while ago and was just wondering if anyone heard anything because I haven't!!...

  19. Columbia University-ETP

    Redsox17 replied to jcarranz5's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I was accepted to Columbia and just found out last week I was accepted early to MGH. I have also been accepted to BC. Honestly, I don't think it matters where you go, and its great that I got into...

  20. Northeastern University Direct Entry

    Redsox17 replied to jane415's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I was accepted to Regis, Columbia, BC (with scholarship) and found out yesterday I was accepted early to MGH. I declined an interview at UMass (BC was my top choice). I sent in my deposit for BC so I...

    Redsox17 replied to jcarranz5's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Thanks Moxie, I don't want my parents help either but unfortunately I can't even file for aid for Columbia without my parents info (filing as a 2nd bachelors instead of a masters puts me in the...

  23. Columbia University-ETP

    Redsox17 replied to jcarranz5's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Welp...my parents refuse to fill out the FAFSA (given my age I'm still dependent) so I wont be going to Columbia next year. Good Luck to

    Redsox17 replied to jnd1213's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I feel like for an Ivy League school Columbia has gotten mediocre reviews...have you been accepted anywhere

    When I went to the open house they said the program in total cost $125k...and its only 2.5 yrs. Seems a bit
