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 said they can't say you have the award 100% until th...

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 (during NP year, matriculate in with other masters stud...

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 much information and that class is packed with no en...

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 "yard sale", which will include: wine colored scrubs ...

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 to join. So far it is myself (admitted last year ...

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 you're in, let me know and I'll send you an invite....

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 Post-Baccalaureate Premedical Program with a 3.2 G...

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 challenging real life situations -Questions for them/UV...

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 above sounds very solid. You have more medical exp...

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 students who are in this years class. My husband works...

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 you are younger. A good program will see your potent...

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 a BS in nutrition, 3.78 overall GPA, 1280 ...

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 educational/didactic part. They serve and are two disparate en...

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 year.

csulliva Thank you very much for taking the time to write such a detailed response.It has been greatly helpful to me!!

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 like (i.e. late or early)? - In a general format,...

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 UVM.

How do I find the facebook group? I tried a search, but I am not a pro at FB yet.

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 an interview?

The letters have gone out. I got my acceptance letter in the mail today. I hope good news awaits everyone...

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 have it. Be on the look-out for "The Letter".

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 GRE scores. I am always interested in where other...

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 arrive, but no letter yet. It would have been lov...
