So I'm bumping this thread to see if anyone who is currently in the program is out there? I'd love to ask you some questions. :) If you don't mind posting in this thread or PMing me... I would really...
Congrats to those accepted! To those waitlisted, try and stay positive. I was accepted ED but opted not to keep my spot - hopefully it will go to (or already went to?) one of you guys. I'll be...
Dunno. I'm curious, though. I wonder how many applied, how many were accepted, etc. It looks like I won't be able to afford to attend the admitted students day. Oh well, I'm hoping I can set up a...
I'm excited, too. I'm very likely going to attend, although I still have to hear from UCSF and a few other programs. Anyone looking into housing options? On campus? Off
For my specialty (psych), NP makes far more sense over PA. I am primarily interested in my specailty, so I want my education tailored towards my interests, as opposed to the generalist model that PA...

uh, a private school is not the same thing as a professional/stand alone/for profit institution. Many extremely prestigious nursing schools are private (Yale,
... this thread is awfully quiet. Just thought I'd wish everyone great luck tomorrow! Try to just relax and get plenty of sleep tonight. We're all going to do awesome
The problem with for-profit institutions is the fact that people who attend such institutions can take out government loans to pay for them. This results in the money lining the pockets of...
I think there's also something to be said for the "back in my day we did everything right" and the "kids these days..." kinds of attitudes. As we age and things change, it becomes natural for us to...
Hmm. Thanks for the info guys. I definitely plan on asking questions about potential tuition hikes, risk of my specialty getting cut, etc. during the interview. You'd think that if you were accepted...
Nervous! Just trying to relax and do a bit of practicing. If I understand correctly, they're only interviewing 125 people this year, right? As opposed to last year where they interviewed 150? I'm...
