Anyone else applying to OHSU's accelerated bachelors program this year? The application seems to be open, though I'm not seeing a place to select a specialty within it.

It didn't look like there was a thread for 2011 Yale GEPN applicants. Since the application recently opened, I thought I'd start a thread to see if anyone else is starting to work on their application. Anyone else out there?

Are you sure that it ends up being more with the cost of living difference? UCSF financial aid says most students in the CNM program take out $150k in loans over the three years. Isn't that fairly similar to OHSU?

junipers- I haven't heard anything, but I didn't receive a financial aid packet either!

I'm turning down for FNP/CNM so hopefully that moves someone here off the wait list! It sounds like a great program!

Calinursetobe - Congrats! At this point I'm pretty partial to UCSF, but they are both great programs (obviously).

I created a Facebook group for the 2011 group. If people would like to join send me a PM and I'll invite you. You can also try going here: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_184795224890225 but I'm not sure if that works for closed groups.

I'm in for midwifery!! Congrats to everyone!

I'm in for FNP/CNM. Still waiting on Yale and UCSF (and OHSU, though I'm pretty sure I'm waiting for a rejection letter at this point since people got acceptance phone calls on Friday).

Did anyone else get acceptance letters? I'm in for the FNP/CNM program. I have to say I'm a little nervous about the cost of the program (and my husband feels like he's going to have an impossible time finding a job in Nashville). We'll see!

Those of you who've heard already-are you in for the DNP or the Masters or did they say? So so bummed out

That sounds slightly hopeful, but I'm still not clear why they'd know about some folks now and others weeks from now...

So I assume no call means not in? booo.

I sent a thank you card, but it probably doesn't make a difference either way! The wait is killer.

Partera-I entered my assets (though I don't really have any). I'm not really sure what to make of the information it gave me at the end though. It says that my Direct Stafford Loan Estimate would be $12.5k. Since it seems like the programs are at ...

Partera-Are you interviewing, or just wanting to know for next year? On Thursday there was a potluck with faculty. My interview was on Friday There was a tour of campus about an hour before my interview so I went on that and then hurried back for ...

It was really nice meeting y'all this weekend! I hope everyone's interviews went well. Those of you who went before me were right that it wasn't as scary as I was imagining. I was definitely nervous for the first question or so, but then I felt p...

After shopping for HOURS yesterday I went to Target to pick up something else and ended up buying this dress: http://tinyurl.com/4t76oz8, which I think I might wear to the interview with tights, a sweater, and a blazer. It's hard to tell from the pi...

I haven't heard anything specific about times for the interview. What I do know is that my friends who interviewed (and got in) at both OHSU and UCSF did not wear suits. I'm going shopping tomorrow. If I find a suit that is comfortable and not insa...

I still haven't figured out what to wear. I was going to buy a suit for Yale, but now that I'm doing a phone interview there, I think I could wear business casual to both OHSU and UCSF and be fine (and more comfortable). I'm thinking of wearing nice...

Did anyone else get a second email today? The two emails were almost identical for me, but one said midwifery and the other just said it was from the school of nursing. Otherwise they were exactly the same.

I replied to the email to confirm. That's what UCSF had us do, so I assumed it was probably okay for OHSU as well.

I have an interview for midwifery too. Luckily it's the weekend before my UCSF & Yale interviews!

How are people going to get to an interview in late January if they only find out in mid-January?! I'm relatively close, so it's not a super huge issue for me (assuming I get an interview), but it seems like it would be if you lived on the east coas...

I'm also doing a phone interview. I couldn't reschedule UCSF (same day, in person only) so I'm stuck doing both on the same day. Kind of crazy!
