This was me!

This. I loved multiple choice questions when prepping for NCLEX because I could almost always get them down to 2 answers. The "select all that apply" questions were tough and really tested what I knew, rather than my deductive skills.

Got a participant email! if you didn't get it this year then def reapply next year. I didn't get it for the 1st year when I applied either but got it for the second year of my MSN.

I can't pretend to have any idea what you are going through, but if you are genuinely having feelings that life is pointless then I would strongly suggest you go to the mental health/counseling center on your campus asap. Also, I gotta say, I'm a little disappointed by some of the responses in this thread. It's really not that hard to show a little empathy when someone is having a rough time.

Hi tessag12! I wanted to weigh in and let you know your GRE scores definitely will not disqualify you from getting in. I am a prespecialty student in the FNP track and I got pretty much the same scores as you, including the 4 in writing. Honestly, I would not worry about it.

I received my acceptance around the middle of December and I had applied by the November deadline for early decision. Keep in mind that was just for prespecialty FNP. I think the other specialties are on different schedules. Also, things might be different whether you are going in with as ASN, BSN, or doing the presepecialty route (non-nursing bachelor's degree) like me. Take a look in last year's Vandy MSN thread. A bunch of people from peds, psych, acnp, & gero were on there talking about the application process too.

Hey everyone! I'm a current FNP prespecialty student and I'd be happy to answer any questions if I can. I was all over this site last year while waiting to hear back from Vandy so I totally understand the anxiety that comes along with applying. I may not reply immediately but I'll check back every now and then. Good luck on your applications!

I just realized there are people who posted before me who were waitlisted and didn't interview. Sorry for the question that was already answered!

Waitlisted. For me that makes two waitlists, a rejection, and an acceptance. I was kinda hoping to get into Seattle U because I already live in the area but now it looks like there is a whole lot of Vanderbilt in my future. On a side note, did anyone get waitlisted who didn't interview or am I alone in that? I thought for sure I was going to get rejected because I never got called for an interview.

Denied. My wife called me to tell me. Bummer. Oh well. Looks like I'm headed to Vanderbilt.

Has everyone who got a letter been accepted or has anyone heard of a rejection letter coming this early?

My status now says "Decision Mailed." Seeing as I live in Seattle it might be a couple days until it reads "Decision Opened."

I just checked my application page and there's no new update.

I'm in the same boat. I was accepted to Vanderbilt, waitlisted for MGH, and haven't heard anything from Seattle. And since I already live in the Puget Sound area I was kind of hoping that I'd get in there.
