Peachcobber thanks so much for sharing some of those questions! I would also really appreciate anyone else willing to share their OHSU interview questions -- my interview is early tomorrow :)

Same @littlefeets -- @s_j_s your stats and experiences are incredibly impressive and if it makes you feel any better, Penn is the best nursing school in the country so they weren't silly to pass up an opportunity to speak to you. I'm sure you will de...

I totally feel ya, emara9! I got accepted to Columbia and Vandy as well, but I'm really interested in hearing back from UCSF (probably my top choice) and Penn (not too far behind UCSF). Yale would be nice as another option. I'm secretly hoping to get...

Which school are you thinking? UCSF really needs to post ASAP -- I'm getting ansty over here haha

Thank you guys so much for chiming in! It's really nice to hear other peoples' thoughts since this is such a huge decision. To answer your question sml14, I'm on the psych track :) In any case, since I've last posted, I have discovered some more inf...

I agree with you emmafleur18! I think Yale and Penn would be pretty good. Any thoughts on Penn and Vandy anyone? They seem incredible!

Hi emara9 and sml14 -- I definitely agree with both of your comments above! Emara9 I'm very confident UCSF's program is much better than Columbia's for a variety of reasons: 1) UCSF is ranked #2 in nursing nationally 2) almost all of its specialties ...

Hi all! I am also eagerly awaiting hearing back from UPenn :) I've been interviewing at various schools and am trying to compile differences between all of these programs. Does anyone happen to know what the drop-out/attrition rate is for those in th...

Yes, I did that today. Good luck!

I declined my offer to interview since I was accepted to one of my top choices. I hope my declining helps someone else out in the program :) best of luck to all!

I declined my offers to LeaDS/waitlist for PMHNP so I hope this bumps up a hopeful-UT Austin applicant into the program :) best of luck to all!

Are others waiting to hear back from other programs before accepting?

Just some quick pros/cons off of the top of my head: UCSF: Pros: SF is a great city, UCSF tuition is much cheaper than other grad schools, Talking to a student there, I got the vibe that most people are very collaborative and at least from the 2015 ...

Hi there! Also want to echo the same question from the comment above -- is anyone willing to share their UCSF MENP experience? How rigorous was the program? How friendly/supportive/competitive (or not) was your respective cohort? Are faculty nice and...

Hi friends! I was wondering how some of you are going about the decision-making process once all of the schools to which you've applied have sent out final acceptances? For example, are any of you trying to get in touch with current students to get a...

Hi friends, I was wondering how some of you feel about UCSF's not offering a BSN as we work toward obtaining our NP degree? I've been reading various posts, threads, and just general google searches, and have found some conflicting information on the...

@lostasia you're so awesome for sharing these - thank you so very much! I also plan to add to this list in the coming day(s) about anything else I've been asked that's outside the scope of this extensive list :) cheers, friend -- you are meant to be ...

@lostasia thank you for linking us to the site -- this will be certainly be useful! Also, I would LOVE it if you shared the other doc with your own list of questions compiled. It's so refreshing to see such a supportive and collaborative environment ...

Thank you so much for sharing -- it's just nice to have a sense of what they may cover to minimize being frazzled during interview-prep. Your help is greatly appreciated!

Congrats emara9! Looks like we both are aiming for the PMHNP cohort :) Very exciting! I'm in LA so I was thinking of looking up tickets soon. I hear the best time to buy tickets is 6 weeks prior to expected arrival. Please share interview prep quest...

I'm sorry the school's response wasn't very helpful armor950. Perhaps what was mentioned earlier is correct and some applicants/specialties don't get interviewed at all, but rather get an easy acceptance :) Would certainly be great if this is the cas...

Hi jena.1001 I hope your interview went well! Would you mind sharing what was asked during your interview? I'm getting so nervous trying to prepare, esp given that I just found out about the interview haha Any help would be very very appreciated :)

Hello friends, just wanted to share some interview questions from the other week: (1) Why nursing over medicine? (2) Why your speciality? (3) Tell me about your volunteer work. (4) Tell me about your leadership roles. (5) What is the role of NP in sa...

HI friends, I also received an invitation for a phone interview for this Weds for PMHNP track. I noticed that the person who sent the invite out had actually sent the original message to herself last month, which is why I only received a follow-up em...

Just want to send some words of encouragement to those who didn't get an invite. Keep your heads up -- you are all capable and will become outstanding nurses! Keep fighting the good fight! I was wondering how people are preparing for the UCSF intervi...
