I had peers in my cohort from off the waitlist! Usually by the admitting deadline, if people do not commit to Vandy, then they go off the waitlist for as many spots are available. You could maybe ask how far along you are in the waitlist??

I thoroughly enjoyed my program. Depends on the kind of person you are toward your education, I think. Obviously I think applying and getting into Vanderbilt shows you are highly motivated anyway, but I didn't think of myself as very academic nor did...

Wow! That is super nice they get you guys a response before Winter break. Waiting til mid Feb for me just two years ago was brutal LOL! Congrats to all! If you need an alumni mentor (for AGPC), I am available and happy to help 🙂

I just graduated from the VUSN AGPCNP program, but as far as the general application process goes - you should hear from financial aid in January or from admissions about generic admissions things. My cohort (as well as midwifery, FNP, PMHNP, and oth...

I can't speak on FNP, but as a whole Vanderbilt has a great program. I got a lot out of it. I did AGPC. One of my preceptors was actually an FNP alum from VUSN. While the academic work can be daunting, I graduated 8/6, passed boards 9/14. When ...

What do you want to know? Timelines? I just graduated. When I applied and most cohorts after me, people found out about mid Feb. My date was Feb 15 and found out about 11am. Or at least that's when I had a status change on my app.

Airbnbs and VRBOs are homes, condos and apartments to rent as places to stay when traveling 🙂 I stay at a place with a couple other friends and classmates. We just walk to campus and nearby places to see, then uber or lyft downtown if the...

Airbnb’s and VRBOs as a group!

I got my Vandy acceptance around then too, a year and a half ago. It was 11am 😍😍 Excited for you all. These forums bring me joy for the profession.

I love adults/geriatrics, so for me, I think the program is a really great fit. Each faculty member has their niche within AGPC and all have their DNPs and are currently practicing. They’re supportive, information/content is provided in such a way to...

Maybe I was an outlier, but I had a 2.99 GPA in my undergrad, 3.0 in my ADN and a 3.9 in my RN to BSN but a majority of my undergraduate years were definitely less than the lowest GPA on the VUSN website. Experience matters and writing a really good ...

$500! It goes toward tuition. For prior app cycles, they let us have until like March 28 I think for commitment responses. Other programs I know are DNP length. Although there are rumors Vandy is phasing out the MSN in a few years so it'll all be DNP...

There are about six or seven of us in AGPCNP who are PT, but it’s a mix of 2 year and 3 year part timers I think. The 3 year folks are those who work for VUMC.

No, they are Jan-August of the 2nd year I believe. I do not have any the first four semesters.

I remember your posts from last year. Congrats! That's so awesome!

Rooting for you guys! The allnurses forum for 2021 had people getting updates in their application portal on February 15th. So hopefully around then for 2022.

I am in my second semester of the AGPCNP. Mine will be 6 semesters as a part time student.

The last two years, those who applied by the priority date found out around Valentine’s day. I remember being at work, I was getting notifications on post after post on allnurses about people getting in. I got my acceptance letter on February 15th, 2...

I got the financial aid email at the end of January 2021 after I applied in Oct 2020.

I can speak from the part time, distance AGPCNP program! I work full time, chose to do part-time due to not totally being in a rush. Also I have kids and felt the need to still work. I will cut back sometime second year when clinicals begin. ...

I think you have really good chances!! I am in a part time specialty program for AGPCNP and have been a nurse for 4.5 years. My GPA was not stellar, but I will say VUSN does a very holistic review of the application compared to other programs.

I applied to one in 2018, paused for a year, then applied to three in 2020-2021 app year. I have a 2.99 undergrad GPA, 3.1 ADN GPA, a 3.9 BSN GPA from a brick and mortar that had on campus meet ups and in person clinical experiences while I worked fu...

Of course. Send me an inbox message of your email!

I submitted 10/14 last year, received an email 10/26 saying my application is complete if any are interested in time frames!

My ASN was a 3.14, my BSN was a 3.94. My original undergraduate degree was 2.99. I had high doubts about ever getting in. But due to my experience/involvement and written responses, I got in! Much to my shock… I also credit the references I had. Try ...
