OMG, I am in total shock! I got in for Peds! Yay! Congrats to everyone!

Yes, she said the same to me via email. Bummer. Well, it was my first time applying to Yale, so I'm hoping that 2nd round applicants have a better chance at getting an interview. I got an interview at UCSF and hoping that works out. But if that d...

Hi Pedsnursehopeful, Yes, I rsvp'd last Thurs the 9th and got a reply on Friday the 10th. It wasn't anything fancy that they replied back. They just said "OK"- literally. Figured I had something in writing and that's all I needed, but now I'm star...

Hi PedsNurseHopeful! I also have an interview for the APPN specialty. So excited! I'm interviewing on the 28th... you? Do we all interview the same day? Also, do you know how many slots are available for Peds? I had heard at one of the info sessi...

Hey Everyone, First, let me say I totally feel for those who didn't get an interview this year.... I didn't last year and was totally bummed for the holidays because I didn't hear until about 12/20. Anyhow, please stay positive and don't let it brin...

Thanks Abby_Normal! I can't believe that I missed that group. I wondered why this one showed such little activity. Also, thanks for your words of encouragement and info on the school. So are you in a program again, or did you reapply to schools?

12 days?! OMG, I didn't realize we'd know so soon. Positive thoughts to you all!

Yes, I'm here in SF, which I love too. I just accepted you as a friend and wrote you directly so we could take this conversation off-line for others who may not be interested.

If you had to take quantitative classes (which it sounds like you did), I would think that you would be considered for a waiver. If you are done with your essay and can deliver your transcripts and a copy of your thesis to them, I would think that t...

Yes, totally worth a try!!! My understanding is that if you have a masters in a science field, it was very likely you'd get a waiver. But if you had a Masters in Fine Arts, then they would likely not give you the waiver. But for those of us that h...

Allie11, Did you know that since you have a Masters that you could ask for a GRE waiver? I just submitted my application in a couple of days ago to request this waiver. I have been talking to Admissions since early this summer and they said that if...

If I remember correctly from last year's application, it stays "under review" until we get a rejection or interview invitation letter. I actually didn't ever get a hard copy letter, but found out on this board that people were getting their hard cop...

Hi KKandes, Just wanted to add in my 2 cents if it is at all helpful.... I set up a call with the Admissions Director and her tip was to treat it like a creative writing piece. You need to be able to answer all the questions in the order they ask, b...

Just locked mine too!! OMG, so glad to be done with this app! Good luck everyone!

oops, one more thing Artemis30, for some reason I thought I heard somewhere that transcripts must be in by the deadline, but I don't find it saying that anywhere in the instructions. Did you check with the office? I called two days ago and they wer...

Artemis30, I think you just leave those fields blank, and select from the drop down selection only if it applies to you. I also heard that you shouldn't be surprised if they test you in the interview. I heard that the language section was modified s...

Hi ju-loy, The Professor I talked to was in Peds. Her comments were in the context of making your statement standout when the admissions committee is reading literally hundreds of applications. They want to hear your story, but not your life story....

Hi Everyone! Hope the app process and the goal statement writing is going well. Just wanted to chime in and let you know that when I spoke to the Prof at UCSF she said that keeping it to 2 pages was really important and also keeping it at a 12 pt. fo...

Thanks czyja! Your comments have probably been the most helpful I've seen here. Yes, it's totally easy to get discouraged, but my drive to be a PNP is what's motivating me to keep trying-- even if I get rejected a second time. I appreciated you let...

I heard the same thing as Veggies about the grade point average. But if UCSF isn't the only school you are applying to and you did well in those last 60 semester units, you should feel good about that. I have found that other schools do count those...

I can totally relate to all of you with the "poor" GRE scores issue. I too didn't do as well as I had hoped and am feeling discouraged by my scores as well. Does anyone actually know of anyone that has gotten in with combined GRE scores that are be...

Hello, I'm surprised this thread isn't more active since there is only 90 days left until the application is due! Is there anyone out there who has applied before to Yale and is reapplying? This is my first time applying to Yale, but it's always gr...

Hey Everyone, I'm back as well applying to MEPN a 2nd time. Currently studying like mad before GRE this Saturday. UGH! I'm feeling better about the GRE though because as much as I didn't want to dole out the $$, I made the leap and paid for the on...

@ xtine009, so sorry to hear about that! I would definitely pursue it if you never received any notice that docs were missing. Hang in there everyone....we are almost there. I'm obsessively running home to check my mail every day, and still nothing...
