Hi All, I'm an applicant for the Summer 2016 cohort to the Univ. of Minnesota Entry Masters program for students with a non-nursing background. I have applied to many programs. Most have already turned me down. I'm waiting on Seattle University and ...

CONGRATULATIONS! Did they call or email you? I haven't received any notification. I'll have to call on monday to ask about status. Keep us posted on your interview.

@Oregonian89 - Congratulations! I think you're making a wise decision in regard to MGH and $500. I also had to make a down payment to another program as their deadline to hold a spot was Feb 15th! If you were a top 10 in a raw score, DO NOT be hard o...

I spoke to a lady the day I write this post saying notifications to interview or "no thanks" we held on then 26th. When did you get the email? Did you already interview??

I applied to 7 schools, 8 programs. I'm waiting on Seattle and Univ. Minnesota. I was accepted to my back up school, Bellarmine University in Kentucky. It's only an Accelerated BSN program, however.

Remember All, this is the last year they are offering the program with the most applicants they have ever seen. Their job is not easy, so I'm not surprised with the amount of applicants on top of their FT teaching positions that they are holding inte...

Hi all. I unfortunately received the "Thanks but no thanks" notification in late January from Marquette. I was at least hoping for an interview. Good luck to you all!

@Shulmaith Seattle University APNI Applicants is the name of the FB page. AG, Psych and CNM seem to have most of the action. So far only 2 rounds of interviews for FNP have been sent out. I know they're overflowed with applicants and they'll be doin...

@MSNHopeful: Congratulations on PLU! I assume that it's the Doctorate path? Did you visit both schools before applying? If so, did one campus speak to you more? @Verene: What track are you applying to and get the interview for?

That's good news, I guess! Better to know there are still reviews being done rather than just waiting for the rejection letter! (I too am patiently waiting for an interview for FNP). Thank you @wojo8 for calling them! Do you know who you spoke with, ...

Anyone hear from FNP on more interviews?

Good to hear LittleFeets! My essay really highlighted the underserved, frail and vulnerable....and least I think it did. Its really hard to explain all of the involvement without itemizing. Congrats on your interview!!

Do you think they take all like minded/background individuals? It seems most of you are science major undergrads, with CNA/radiology working experience. I'm trying to find some hope that they see me as a completely different type of candidate with t...

Pallas, From my understanding: Seattle U is the last school in WA to have a direct entry to MSN and to be in guidelines with the State of WA, they will eliminate this route, but keep the traditional BSN-DNP. Just no more direct entry to masters. It...

I hear you Pallas! My GRE was just enough to meet the minimum (it was a bad test day). Writing is not my strong point, patient relations is! It sounds like you're quite the candidate, and I would continue to stay hopeful if I were you. IF it helps,...

Congrats Jessica! Let us know how your interview goes. No_LiesJustLove: thank you for the information on number of applicants! Oregonian89: How did the interview go?? If 210 applied to the FNP track, and up to 20 spots are reserved...I'd like to im...

Rose29! Congratulations! When is it?

I haven't heard anything about FNP yet... It's becoming aggrivating haha

Hi DenaliFox, Congrats on the interview! Good work. Good luck! Keep us posted.

Thank you PallasAthene! I appreciate the support. You're right, of all the schools I've spoke to, Seattle seems to really focus on the individual and not just how well they ranked on paper with standardized scores. I went to the info session at OHSU...

I received verbiage of 468 apps, 70 spots. I don't know how they are broken up. The competition is intense this year.

I only scored a 3.5 too! Writing is my weakest link. Good luck to you!

Hello! I applied to the APNI FNP program for the 2016 Summer cohort. I'm beyond anxious and feel I'll never get an opportunity to meet them for an interview or show my perseverance in the classroom. I'm not naturally book smart and have to work extre...
