Hey! My cohort was mostly FNPs. Of the RN-MSNs, there are 2 pedi, 2 acute care, 2 psych, 2 midwives, and, if I am counting right, 7 FNPs. When I asked how many people applied, I was told "over 100." That felt like a vague, made-up answer, so I am not sure how many actually applied. And, keep in mind, interviews do not ensure acceptance (which is one of the rumors I heard early on). I hope that helps!

I've been living in New haven for a year now and I understand the housing struggle! I recommend living in the downtown New Haven area or Wooster Square. There are more/nicer options and (I think) it's a safer area to live. The Strauss Adler building on Olive street allows pets and is nicer and more affordable than most places....actually anything with PMC property group allows pets but paparking is sometimes an issue. The other building we recently signed a lease with was 850 grand ave. It is very nice and more affordable, very close to downtown. The nice thing about Yale is its VERY easy to get around the campus, so living near the main campus is still very convenient. Lastly, and I can't stress this enough, find an apartment NOW. If you wait past mid May you may find it extremely difficult and expensive to move to the area. The apartments get scooped up quickly after acceptance letters go out, which for most students is early March putting us behind the eight ball.

I received great news on April 1! I'm starting this fall :) anyone else?

Thanks for all the posts/replies. All the information here has been helpful. I had my interview last week. It was hard to tell but I found that my interviewer had a lot of similar interests. Hopefully, that's a good sign?

Hi! I also applied to the MSN-FNP as an RN. I don't have tips, but I have all the same questions! Have you heard anything more about the program?

Hello :) I am an applicant for the 2014 Yale School of Nursing MSN for RNs (FNP). Does anyone know about how many RNs typically apply/get accepted each year? Are there any spots set aside specifically for RNs? Or, are the only availabilities those that are left over from the previous year (as mentioned in some other threads)? What are the odds of getting accepted if you are granted an interview? And, when do you typically hear back one way or the other? I wonder because most of what I can find related to the program is geared towards GEPN applicants. Thanks in advance!
