I'm halfway through my psych NP (PMHNP) program, and currently trying to decide on my clinical placement for the duration of my final year. I'm really stuck! My choices basically boil down to either adult or pedi in either acute or outpatient setting...

Hi all, I'm a current GEPN (psych specialty). Taking a study break; thought I'd pop in and wish you all some good luck. I remember how awful the waiting was. Best of luck to you all!

Manhattandoula - I cannot express how insane the GEPN year is. If you can bear it, take those pre-reqs - or at least the most helpful ones. Come fall semester, when you don't have to take anatomy/phys, you will be so thankful for the extra time to de...

Two things I remember from last year (I'm a GEPN on leave), there were a number of wait list folks who did get in, and this is my favorite story...One of classmates applied 10 times and finally got in last year! What's even more amazing is that he is...

Here's a link to a temporary facebook group page for new students. YSN will eventually set up an official one, but this way new admits can all meet each other asap! https://www.facebook.com/groups/313166092057946/

Hi all! I'm new to this board, but not to the program. I am a current GEPN student (on leave) and will be starting, again, with you all in September. I remember how manic I was about this time last year. Just wanted to wish everyone good luck!!!

Wowza! I thought the scholarship would be around $10,000; and you guys are getting much less than that. Haven't received my financial aid yet, but now I'm not looking too forward to it! What kinds of rates are being quoted for private loans?

Lot's of students live in what's called "East Rock" neighborhood. It is common in New Haven to have good and bad areas that overlap, so research rentals well. Can't wait to meet my new cohort in the fall! If anyone moves out early, we'll have to ge...

Congrats!!! Are you going to accept?

This includes a $600 deposit as well, sigh. I have been bananas all day after getting my sweet, sweet letter of joy and happiness...Couldn't calm down so I went for a 5.5 mile jog. That wasn't good enough, so I then walked up and down my quarter mile...

Excited to meet you too! I applied for family, but as for a specific population? The short answer is that I want to work with issues relating to obesity. Schizophrenia sounds like a fascinating yet challenging focus!

Just got my acceptance for psych!!!! Woohoo!!!!! Good luck everyone! Oh, and I live in New Haven...I am shaking so mich that I can't type------aaaaahhhh!!!

No news or bad news? I live in New Haven and just retrieved today's mail; there was nothing from Yale. Perhaps it is still a bit premature, but disappointing none the less.

Let's hope it's a really awesome one, and happy early birthday! At the very least we will all be relieved to have the waiting part over with by the end of the week, hopefully.

Everytime I check my email I can hear the cello from the beginning of the "Jaws" theme rolling faintly through my head. I suspect it will only grow louder by Monday! Argh!

Too funny! I had a similar dream that I did get in, but then received a follow up letter of apology saying they'd made a mistake that I did not get in after all.

My mailman is going to think I have some serious issues when he finds me waiting for him at my mailbox everyday while refreshing my email on my phone over and over!

I know we've all worked really hard to get where we are; may fate deal us all a good hand in these coming weeks! Good luck everyone! To the lucky folks who get the earliest emails please post ASAP!!!

Are they really sending out acceptance notifcations via email? I thought it would come in letter form???

The anticipation is already driving me mad, and they don't even meet until tomorrow! Anyone else having trouble focusing on anything else?

Jan. 21st interviews, just an fyi that New Haven is a disgusting, slushy mess right now from the two snow storms that came through last week. There is about a foot of snow/ice still on the ground, though the rest of the snow has melted away into a gr...

I'd like that!

That would be great!
