If it helps: I got an e-mail on Friday 8/3 that informed me of receiving the scholarship, and it asked that I accept or decline by 8/10. I spoke with a lovely woman in HRSA customer service and she...
Yes, you get very close to all those in your class. There are larger classes that you matriculate into during the first year (patho, drug therapy), but for the most part it's just you as a class...
Hey Crs249, I didn't need to take any summer classes, but I still made sure to review my anatomy and physiology. Other than that, you could always start some pathophysiology reading, as there is so...
Hello to those that were accepted- Congratulations! I am in the current MEPN class (to be done first year this August). We, current MEPN's, want to let those accepted know that we will be having a...
Hi all- I created the MEPN 2011 facebook page Yes, one person requested to be a friend and I accepted her, but she has not posted anything yet and we have not had a conversation. No one else has asked...
Hello all, I am a student of the MEPN 2011 class ( I was accepted last year and deferred) If you are accepted into the program, I have created a Facebook group page for introductions and such. Once...
Hmm it sounds like they are changing this year to year. Which is odd, as this is from their website: "Applicants to the MEPN Program will be guaranteed an admission interview if they complete UVM's...
Oh, here are a few more items I had on my list to prepare for my interview: -Ethical conflicts and quick decision making experiences to give them a deeper understanding of how I have dealt with...
crs249 - My honest opinion is that you sound like a very competitive candidate. Yes, there are many qualified applicants out there and there is no telling what will happen, but everything you wrote...
crs249 - I have deferred until next year, but I know a bit about those who would have been my classmates this year. Also, if you go to FaceBook and type in "UVM MEPN 2010" you will see all of the...
PsychLisa11 It sounds like you have a strong sense of what you need already. And yes, age makes a difference to some extent, with regard to years of experience etc., but they won't deny you because...
PsychLisa11 - \ I got into the UVM MEPN program last year. I know that is not one of your choices, but I will add my stats and comments on acceptance in the hope that it will help you on your journey....
I have also gotten very positive feedback from people in previous UVM MEPN classes as well. I would venture to say that the administrative end of the MEPN does not necessarily reflect the...
wannabefnp I will most likely be deferring until next year due to some financial issues. I will be certain in about 2-4 weeks. If so, that will be one more spot open for this
csulliva May I ask you a few questions? I have a son and need to start scheduling daycare. Any help you can offer would be much appreciated. thank you! - Do you get to pick which clinic time you would...
lunchboxblue: I think it depends on what classes you have to take. Depending on your undergrad work, you may be able to skip classes biomedical science. I would e-mail them at
JamieS514, that is very strange. My letter was dated 2/10 and I received it on 2/12. My only thought is that they had so many applicants that they did not get all the letters out at once. Did you get...
Yes, thank you csulliva ! Great information. I called the graduate college today and asked if the decision letters had been mailed out. I was told "I believe they were mailed out today". So, there you...
Thank you Irc13 for posting the update. That has changed my mental balance in that I can now know to expect letters soon and not a month from now. Also, thanks to eazye for posting your background and...
I also participated in a phone interview a few weeks ago. I am pursuing the FNP track. Has anyone received their letter yet? I only live 1 county away from UVM, and it only takes 1 day for the mail to...
