Congrats! Did you view that on Credit Karma?

Wow so much inconsistency! I guess at this point I really shouldn't be too surprised given the variety of replies people have heard...

I called today as well, just to see what response I would get, and the woman I spoke with said that awards are already being dispersed and that I should continue to check my email and the application portal for any notifications or changes in my application status.

I called HRSA and asked a few questions, which included a question about the length of the resume, and I was told there is no maximum length for the resume.

@FutureMs.NP Okay good to know, and I used single spacing too!

My essays are 1 page each, about 570 words per essay and about 3700 characters per essay. I was concerned about the length too because I read that it must be 250 words max but also 5000 characters max. I called HRSA today and asked and the individual I spoke with said to follow the 5000 characters max and that it is okay to go over the 250 word count. Just to be extra sure I'm going to call again tomorrow to make sure that I'm getting a consistent answer!

Way to go! I'm almost through with mine, just proof reading the essays! Did you include your first initial and last name and Application ID number at the top of each document or just the top of the essays? And what spacing did you use?

@CharlieNP2b Hey I'm in the same position! I'm having trouble deciding between MGH and Simmons as well. I'm leading towards MGH though because I like that it also provides the BSN. I've heard great thing about both programs so it's very hard to decide. Are you going to the accepted students day at Simmons? Im sure we'll find out a lot of valuable information there to help make a decision!

I just recieved an email with a decision and I'm in!! The email said an admission packet will be mailed to my home address soon. Anyone else hear back?

Hello everyone! I just declined my acceptance to the Family Nurse Practitioner program (I was accepted to my first choice). So hopefully that frees up a spot for someone on the waitlist! Good luck to everyone! :)

I heard back too and got the same message about Monday

@hummingbirdheartbeat the emails were sent out today? D: Did you get one? I didn't get an email, but hopefully theyre still sending them out and I'll hear something tomorrow!

@AspiringFNP30 I got an email that the accepted students day is Saturday March 5th. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone!

I'm also in the Boston area and trying to decide between MGH and UPENN. I'm in the FNP speciality

I just got accepted too!! For fnp!

I think it went well, it felt more like a conversation. She asked about why I chose the fnp speciality and about my goals. The remainder of the time was spent going over the details of the program and allowing me to ask any questions. It lasted about 30min. Like others have posted here, I have mixed feelings. NEU is not my top choice and I kinda got the impression that there is a bit of disorganization in terms of securing clinical sites. I found out yesterday I was accepted into MGH (my top choice) and I'm supposed to hear back from UPENN today so I'm still trying to figure everything out.

Me too! I don't see a decision

It says the deposit is due March 9th

I got in too! I'm in for FNP and I also got a scholarship! I cant believe this, im so happy and thankful! Good luck to everybody!

She said yes everyone gets interviewed. They don't offer acceptance without an interview. Don't lose hope though, you may still get an interview!

mickey7256- Sorry I can't answer your message! I haven't posted enough times on here to send messages yet. Good luck on your interview today, maybe I'll see you!

FNP, what about you?

I just hope the snow we're supposed to be getting doesnt interfere with the interview date! I don't think I can take anymore waiting!

Ughhhh that's what I'm worried about too! I hope the snow doesn't make too much of an impact on the release of MGH decisions! í ½í¸¢ grrr

Sure! I'll let you know
