Hi everyone, There was no forum for NYU BSN applicants, so I thought I'd start one. Hello, is there anybody out there?

@zhazha1: I think Yale is really a "whole package" type of place. It seems like you have a good background, though; my advice is to write the best essay of your life - and try to do reasonably well on the GRE's. If you get an interview, do some resea...

@ajessica: Haven't started commuting yet - not until August - but driving seems much faster than the train from the Bronx, which takes an hour and 40 minutes. I've done the drive a few times now for various reasons, and via the Merritt from Westchest...

@PamCNM2Be: Would you mind describing a typical week's schedule? Which days do most people have classes, and which days are clinicals? At what time do classes start, and when would they normally end? Thank you so much!

Ouch....$3,500 K scholarship. Megaloans, here I come!

***** said on Interview Day that all students from 2012 on will have to take A&P, regardless of their prereqs. We'll all be in the same boat. I took it last year, but I'm going to read up over the summer to refresh my memory!

I'm in for WH/Adult NP!! Congratulations to everyone! Yale is my #1, so I'll be sending that deposit ASAP.

Good luck, everyone! This will be a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong night. :uhoh21: I hope to hear good news from all of you tomorrow...perhaps bright and early if we're lucky.

Should I be fortunate enough to be admitted, I will most likely be commuting from Yonkers, NY - just outside the Bronx. On my interview day it took me about an hour and 15 minutes to get there, since it's a reverse commute. Not ideal, but people do i...

Any reflections/interesting stories/reactions regarding interviews? I was much more nervous than I expected to be. The conversational style of the interviews disarmed me a bit. Overall I think it went well, but I sure was babbling at certain points!

ACNP, Onc, WH/Adult, Midwifery, Peds, and Psych were all there.

I know that somewhere between 300-400 applications were received. My estimation is that about half of those people got interviews, and they said yesterday that they only have 66 spots rather than 88 as in most years. I came away from the day loving ...

@simplekategirl: Part of the interview is supposed to be some guidance from the professor regarding how best to integrate the new Oncology structure into one of the existing tracks, like FNP, Acute, etc. Unsure right now which she'll think is most ap...

Hi everyone, I'm interviewing tomorrow (Thursday) for the Track Formerly Known As Oncology...it will now be a concentration rather than a course of study. I'm staying tonight (Wednesday) at the Study at Yale with my girlfriend. We will most likely ...

Hi everyone, I have an interview on the 26th, and I'm staying at the Study at Yale with my girlfriend. We will be there for one night only. I'm sad that this forum lost so many valuable messages, particularly the one in mid-December about acceptanc...

Thanks, Soccergrl54! That's some consolation, as long as I don't get outright rejected. However, if I get rejected a *second* time after applying ED, I may self-immolate. Totally kidding, but in all seriousness - this sucks. Really, really sucks.

Hi everyone, Does anyone know if they'll roll over our application into the Regular Decision pool if we don't get accepted ED? Thanks. A little - no, a significant amount - of panic is settling in!

:beer: Despite having applied to college and grad school before, I don't think I've ever been so wound up. This wait is just excruciating.

@simplekategirl: No, the switch wasn't difficult for me. I've applied for the Oncology subspecialty at Columbia. It's a definite interest of mine, so I didn't agonize over the change too much. It was just a tiny bit disappointing, that's all. I woul...

I've been calming my nerves at bedtime with a few frosty beverages. *wine

Deep breath, everyone...and best of luck.

I originally applied to AGNP but had to switch to Oncology since my program was cancelled. Thanks so much simplekategirl and laflaca for emailing the office. This wait is far worse than the wait for my college and grad school admissions letters!

I had a dream last night we would get notification from Yale today. Needless to say, I am losing sleep over this - as well as my mind! :chair:

@CUSONAPP: Yes, I'm reapplying. I didn't get in last year. They didn't offer any specific recommendations, but I know that other people spoke to someone at CUSON and got a few pointers. I'm retaking a C- psych class from college, and I completely re...

Hi everyone, Some years, the GEPN applicants have been notified of their interviews as early as December 8th. Other year's it's been the 15th, or as late as the 22nd. What's the consensus for this year - the 15th? This wait is truly torturous.
