    I'm AGNP - HIV subspecialty, there were only about 5 AGNP candidates (across all subspecialties) in my interview cohort. The majority of our group was FNP or

    @elefant3 - Sorry to hear about Hopkins, but there's no harm is having applied right? I guess you can't get your time and application fees back, but you don't have to accept them even if they accept...

    I'm burying myself in my work during the day and filling my evenings with social activities to try and keep my mind occupied. It's not really helping however, I still incessantly think about it. I've...

    I don't think this year is any more automated than last year, I'm sure they try to get statuses uploaded to the webportal as quickly as they can following the final committee meeting. Last year they...

    Yes all notifications occur on the same day, regardless of your original interview

    Half Windsor replied to NPhopeful555's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Last year they met on Thursday and notification decisions came out on Friday. I suspect we'll have a similar turn around. I think the office needs to be vague about when notifications go out so that...

    Thanks for calling to ask about how the notification will occur, I was curious to see if it was similar to previous year's given how the interview notification was different this year (and we used a...

    Hey a2rutherford, I was also in the afternoon session and have had similar moments throughout this week of feeling like I didn't fully articulate my answers to the questions. Speaking of which, the...

    I wouldn't stress about it, perhaps there were too many Bay Area applicants than could fit on one day and they put you on the second day? The date of the interview does not indicate anything regarding...

    Historically snail mail letters were issued, but based off SJ's email response to me it appears they will be piloting an email based notification this year. Hopefully we'll have a definitive answer by...

    Last year interview letters were dated Dec 4th and sent out Dec 9th-12th. I too hope that we get the notifications that early this year, the anticipation is brutal. Best of luck to everyone! Hopefully...

    fpjc - I think major career changes are fine, but they want to see that you've done the necessary exploration (i.e. experience through volunteer work, research, and/or jobs) to fully understand what...
