It's a closed group, so you should be safe. Only members can see posts in their newsfeeds.

Here's the group if you want to join. The threads on there will explain a trick for logging in to the campus email to find out official acceptance news. Otherwise, you have to wait for a letter in the mail. That email is probably a good sign, though.

I was told there could be movement from the wait list after the deposit deadline in April and also when financial aid packages are released, but some people back out as late as summer.

I think summer quarter starts June 23. No idea about orientation. The graduate student welcome event is June 20, but that's for the entire University, not just nursing.

Congrats! Did you get your acceptance via phone, or did you see a status update online?

I'm CNM/FNP and also called. Still no decision. Good grief.

I think they're referring to the checklist at the bottom of the page, but otherwise, mine still says submitted. It's pretty clear I'm not being accepted, since I applied for CNM/FNP and haven't received a phone call. Vandy wasn't my first choice, so ...

BC. Autocorrect.

I would contact BCN and see if they will extend the deadline for you. Most schools are willing to be flexible. As an alternative, maybe call Vandy and explain that you have a deposit deadline looming elsewhere and need to know whether they are an opt...

Well, I already interviewed--before some of the people who've already been accepted--so I'm assuming it's a no for me. I'm planning to go elsewhere, but it still bruises the ego a bit. Good luck to everyone still waiting!

So I'm guessing since I wasn't notified this week re: midwifery, I probably didn't make the cut. Womp womp woooomp.

Serendiba, what is your current specialty? I'm applying for CNM and would like to know more about the clinical experiences. As I understand it, the interview time passes quickly, so I'm not sure I'll have the time I'd like to ask questions of them.

Yep, they do.

The depth and breadth of experience is very appealing to me, but I can't really justify having to travel that far for clinicals for multiple semesters because I have young children. They said the FNP portion (for those who stay local) involves mostly...

For the midwifery specialty, the clinicals are within 2 1/2 hours during the second semester (after pre-specialty is completed), within 3 hours during the third, and then out of state for the fourth semester. If you have a preference for a particular...

I'm applying for CNM/FNP, so maybe it's different, but I know for us, specialty clinicals are within 2 1/2-3 hours of Nashville. The midwifery integration semester is out of state. Since I have small children, all the travel may be a deal-breaker fo...

Deposits are due at many schools by early March, so I imagine they've lost some folks to the long wait in years past. Maybe they're trying to change that.

Any idea how many people are accepted for the CNM/FNP program? 50 seems like a lot for one specialty track... do the numbers they gave you include master's entry and pre-specialty students together?

I got the same email today, but my interview was last week. I almost lost it when I saw the subject line, thinking there's no way they're making decisions this early! Lol.

No letter here yet. The scholarship reminder came to me via email about a week before the deadline. Lots of folks mentioned having received that one, so I'm surprised it came to some folks via mail instead. I applied to four schools, all top-notch pr...

I was accepted to the CNM/FNP. GRE: 167V, 160Q, 5W. GPA: 3.77 (including graduate coursework). 3.8 in pre-reqs, which are complete. I have a previous MA and PhD (all but dissertation) in a totally unrelated, non-science field, and I've been a birth p...
