congrats aes29! I graduated from Dickinson in '08 and also have an MS from Georgetown. I'm excited to start at Pitt, although I'm apartment hunting right now and that's totally stressing me out!

Hale.bale - I'm with you on the every 10 minutes refresh!! (except let's be honest here, I've really been doing that all week!) I consider myself VERY lucky to have already been accepted to Pitt, even if it is only for ABSN and I will have to reapply...

This is exactly what admissions told me (I emailed last week, got this reply on Sunday) "I am not sure about the progress for the application decision but I believe the program coordinator will be updating your application status on the website where...

@Barbaraleev - I believe the specialties are Adult Acute, Adult Primary, Family, Peds Acute, Peds Primary, Admin, Neonatal, and Psych. Every day that goes by without a decision up I become more and more convinced I'm not getting in ...

@seltsi - congrats! will you be attending NEU then? I also interviewed on Feb. 24th but my decision is still not up, so I don't even know if interview date is what it depends on either!
jenki211 replied to kiki617's topic in Massachusetts
I interviewed in February as well. Since I was told that all decisions would be out by April 1 at the absolute latest, I doubt they are still interviewing at this point.
jenki211 replied to kiki617's topic in Massachusetts
I'm still waiting too! Admissions basically told me last week that the program coordinator is updating them as decisions are made, so if my decision was not up already, it "probably will be soon." At this point, even though NEU is definitely a top ch...

it seems like decisions are up for some and not for others. did anyone actually get a decision notice and get in? I'm not sure if it's a good or bad sign that I don't have anything yet!
jenki211 replied to kiki617's topic in Massachusetts
@hale.bale - I actually broke down and emailed admissions today to see if they had a better idea of when we should expect admissions decisions. Can you tell I'm starting to get anxious? haha Haven't heard anything back yet but if I get any real answe...

I'm not in Boston, but I just left the DC area after going to grad school and working there for 3 years, and cost of living was crazy high there and I'm pretty sure that it is similar there. I do have a lot of family in the greater Boston area though...
jenki211 replied to kiki617's topic in Massachusetts
thanks. I actually used to live in New England, but now am in PA, and there are no direct MSN programs here so I applied to Pitt's ABSN because I was fairly positive I would be competitive for it. Northeastern is the only other school I applied to an...
jenki211 replied to kiki617's topic in Massachusetts
I'm also getting nervous!! I did get into an ABSN program so that is still an option but I'm so torn between the two right now and I feel like I'm totally in limbo on deciding until I get Northeastern's decision. I just want to know!!
jenki211 replied to kiki617's topic in Massachusetts
fyi all, I emailed admissions to ask about when we'd hear for sure because I already got accepted to one program and they want me to accept or decline by next week, and I was told today that April 1st is the absolutely latest we'd hear but they are t...
I think the interview went well, but I prob won't hear from admissions till mid March. I did my undergrad at a much smaller school in central PA, but I'm taking the rest of my prereqs now at Pitt's Johnstown campus and I did look at Pitt originally f...
jenki211 replied to kiki617's topic in Massachusetts
I was told probably mid-March for a decision, but to check that with Admissions. I definitely asked my interviewer though because I was accepted to another program already and they want me to accept or decline soon.
jenki211 replied to kiki617's topic in Massachusetts
I just had my interview as well, we talked about why NP rather than MD or PA etc and also about working as an RN through the NP portion of the program. Overall, my interviewer was very friendly and seemed interested in finding out what in my life led...
