I am looking to apply to several direct entry msn (NP) programs matriculating in 2010 (summer or fall)..... I have had little success in finding admissions statistics for these programs My info Undergrad: Indiana University B.S. in Public Health, minor human sexuality 3.5 gpa last 60 hours 3.95 major hours 3.8 pre reqs 4.0 spanish speaking strong recommendations from past professors, etc did an international internship in peru as a rural community health worker. additionally did research for Indiana Univ School of Medicine and taught a human sexuality section. Since graduating I havent really done much with my education... work in a spa. I still need to take the GREs (prepping for it now) just wanted to get everyone's opinion on whether I would be a strong candidate to programs like: Yale, Seattle University, Boston College, Columbia (Chicago), Univ of Vermont Also, should I be volunteering at the local hospital? or somehow engaged in a medical extra curricular activity? Anything else that you would recommend that I do to boost my changes of being accepted into one of the aforementioned programs? THANKS!
