I emailed my advisor last week. She was quick to respond. She sent me a sample of each semester for full time and part time. She also said we would be receiving a packet in the mail with more information about orientation, a scheduled meeting with your advisor, and signing up for classes. She was unsure about where to send transcripts. Did everyone else only submit unofficial transcripts when applying?

I haven't emailed my advisor yet. I will probably to that today. Does anyone know where we submit our official transcripts?

I got in as well! FNP!

This morning my application said 'Out for decision.' Now it says 'decision made.' I guess I'll just have to wait for an email from them?

I haven't heard anything either. I'm getting nervous!

I emailed them about my video and it took them 5 days to respond. My video was finally attached to my application 3 weeks after I sent it. My application now says out for decision. I think your issue with the GRE will be resolved eventually! I hope sooner rather than later. Let me know what happens!

GRE is only required upon request. I'm pretty sure my application said GRE not completed for at least a week, maybe longer. Then I checked my application and everything had been received…except for my video. I hope I get into GMU, too! I attended the GMU information session and they said we had to find our own preceptors as well. I think nearly all programs have moved to that. I'll let you know if I hear anything. You do the same!

Hi RomieRN, It took a long time for items to show up as completed on my application. My video is still saying it wasn't received. I contacted Slideroom and they said their records show it was submitted without issue. So then I tried to contact admissions. They finally replied after a week and said they had received my video. It just needed to be manually added to my application by an advisor. That was over a week ago and it is still saying it hasn't been received. As for other schools, I applied to University of South Alabama for Spring admission and wasn't accepted because my overall GPA is only a 3.11. They don't require references, goal statement, or video…so you really are just a number in the system. They told me to rollover my application and include a goals statement to be reconsidered for Fall 2016. So I did and now I'm waiting. Those are the only two schools I've applied to so far. I have done a lot of research regarding schools and have some in mind in case GMU or USA doesn't work out. What schools have you looked at so far? I'm really hoping GMU mainly looks at my last 60 hours vs my overall! Good luck to you!

Could you PM me what school you go to?

Hi, I am wondering if anyone applied to GMU's FNP program for Fall 2016. Or if anyone is currently enrolled. I am applying and feel a bit nervous/noncompetitive when considering my overall GPA. The website states they want you to have a 3.0 out of 4.0 for the last 60 hours. However, I can't help but think they will also take into consideration overall GPA. Anyway, just wondering other people's thoughts/experiences with this school or admission rate. Thanks.

I know this post is old. And, I am unable to receive PMs. But, could you possibly tell me which schools you know of that only look at your last 60 hours? I know George Mason does...Thanks!

Hello everyone. I am currently looking for an FNP program that offers distance learning and only looks at your GPA for the last 60 hours. I currently live in the DC area. My overall GPA is underwhelming at a 3.11. My last 60 hours are a little over a 3.7. I know GMU only looks at last 60, but I've heard they are extremely competitive. I'm willing to go to class occasionally if the school is in the DC area. Otherwise, I need it to be all online. I applied to the University of South Alabama and was denied because they stopped accepting people at 3.2. They've asked me to rollover my application for Summer and provide a goals statement, which I plan on doing. Just trying to explore my options. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks!

I also applied for FNP Spring 2016. I have 4 years of ICU experience and have been a traveler for nearly 2 years.

Does anyone know of any online NP programs that allow you to complete your clinicals out of state? I recently started applying to NP school at UAB and then realized I must complete my clinicals in Alabama. However, I live in California. I only plan on staying in California until September 2015. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.
