Seattle U - APNI 2012

[Calinca]

Anyone already applying at Seattle U? Which track? I haven't finished my pre-req's, so I am probably not too competitive this year, but I am going to apply anyway. I am applying for the nurse-midwife track and my background is Microbiology (UW).

Calinca- Well, I'm noticed and I'm sure you did too, that even unique last names didn't follow the last name + first initial model

pooja, my status has not changed at all, nor has may or cura as far as i remember from previous posts (still under review). the agnp admissions process has been a tad bit frustrating since we've lagged behind the other tracks in many ways (notifications, interviews, etc.) but we must stay flexible and optimistic. heck, the fact that our statuses haven't changed could mean anything! it is possible that you will receive an acceptance letter tomorrow because they are "sure" about you. lenin was accepted and she heard right away.

Sigh..thanks nurseprac. Hopefully it will work for you too soon. I hate this guys. I think I better exit for a while and come back when I get my decision and to find out everyone else's too...This is really bad for the health!

I did, I even received an email from a very unique last name (at least I think it is and I also did some detective work). I just don't want to be too hopeful.

Thanks justine...yeah that's what I was thinking to myself...(thought bubble: "you think you're stressed now, just wait and see if you do get in")...Haha...I just don't know how to do anything but have constant meltdowns right now. But I'm gonna call it a night with the panicking (again). The decision has been made and I can't change it, just gotta keep on pursuing plan b in the meantime and control the only thing I have jurisdiction over - myself. Acceptance of rejection is tough though! I'm mostly dreading how i'll react to it if I have to.

Lol has my whining/meltdown gotten our count to a hundred yet? Its hard to see on my phone.

Pooja, you're the best! Hang in there.

So my fiance finally got back from work, and he had the *$&% mail key so I couldn't check all day, and no mail yet! The wait is making me slightly crazy.

Also, I'm not psych. I'm community and public health. :) So updated list of email login is:

Lenin: CNM

Andar: CNM

Sass: Community/Public Health

Kalium: Psych

Pooja, it's normal what we are feeling. There is something to be said about this - we both know by our conversations via email that we have a lot at stake, and that's why are are overwhelmed by this. I don't blame you one bit for feeling the way you do and I hope you forgive me for my own slips through this whole thing. We will persevere in the end, no matter what happens.

Awww I kind of feel warm and fuzzy cause of all your happy thoughts. Lol its fun to think about the emotional storm we may cause if we're accepted...any guys on here be warned! We are some sappy folks some of us are .Calinca you know exactly how it is. Lets just try to stay positive until we know for sure. I called my best friend crying last night, overwhelmed because I'm so afraid I didn't get in. She told me I'd better call her back when I actually got the letter, otherwise I just wasted a bunch of perfectly good tears. What a tough cookie! But she's right I guess... When I convince myself of it I'll stop posting my anxieties on here lol.

Vent away, Pooja, we are here to support each other, always, not judge. You can count on me.

[pooja88]

Just like last year...some people found out by a fluke and others had to wait for a letter....even amongst the people in the same track who got accepted 'at the same time'. Go figure. Well...at least it's a good intro to the APNI program where your ability to be flexible with this crazy stuff will be paramount! :-)

Guys, let's also keep what flaneur said in mind...this process is not the most organized...my CNM friends, I'm talking to you! Don't give up yet.

In case you're wondering, I went back twenty pages and started reading our posts...again. argh

Lenin, I am curious what your background is? Have you done much service/outreach? Stellar grades? What do you think has helped you stand out during the admissions process :-)
