Of course! Head on over and join us.

Possibly because its a closed group. I just changed it to an open group and I will close it again once the program starts. This is the link... Welcome to Facebook - Log In, Sign Up or Learn More Let me know if you still cant get in.

Ok I started the group "UTMB FNP Students" on Facebook. It is a closed group so our messages will be private. Head on over and join!

I got my letter too! I was accepted!! I am so very excited, so ready to learn! Would those of you starting this fall be intersted in a Facebook group? I was part of a private group in a previous program and it was really helpful to get to know classmates, create study groups and discuss projects. I'll set it up if there is enough interest.

Its been a couple weeks, has anyone else heard anything? Im still waiting here. :)

That is great news! Congratulations! Have you received formal notification?

They told me that they havent finished notifying people for interviews yet. Don't fret.

I ended up calling back on Friday to find out who I would interview with. She was kind and very easy to talk to. I just spoke from the heart and I wouldnt change any of the answers I gave. She said there were more applicants than in years past and fewer spots. Of over 300 qualified applicants, 125 will get an interview and 50 will be accepted. I asked a few questions about the program, but I thought of a few more things since then. She said to expect to be notified in about 2 weeks, but Im just planning to add another 2 weeks to that to keep my mind off it. Good luck!

Yes, my interview is on May 21st on the phone as well. They didnt tell me who I will interview with though. I got the impression from the person I talked to that all interviews were conducted over the phone.

I live in Austin, but I grew up just up the street from you in Santa Fe. I got an email today to call and schedule my interview. Whew!

When did you apply? I didnt get my application in until just before the due date. Maybe they're going in order. Hopefully I'll hear something soon. What is your understanding of the on-campus requirements? I couldnt gather too much from the website, but from talking with them it doesnt seem we would need to be onsite too frequently.

I just finished my CNM (certified nurse-midwife). I applied to the post-master's FNP. I did my undergrad at UTMB (online) and I would really like to get my FNP there as well. I did call to check and was told they are still reviewing applications. So I wait.

Nothing yet. Are you applying for the post-master's or the full program? Were you notified by email?

I havent heard anything. I was really curious if anyone else had, but I guess not.

Yipes. I wonder if that includes post-masters. I also wonder what they consider a competitive GPA. I have a 3.7, I hope that is enough. Ugh, so many variables.
