Hi! I have been following this thread and appreciate the useful information provided. I too got an interview and I am so excited! Congratulations to everyone and now on to the next step!
I was rejected for FNP unfortunately. If people don't mind sharing, I'd love to know more about those who were invited for an interview. I want to figure out what was weak about my application before I apply again.
I received an invitation to interview for this day also! What specialty are you interviewing for? I am doing APHN
Jk, you said PNP. How exciting! Don't know what to do, I feel like I've been waiting so long to hear about this and now I can't believe it's happening!

Thank you, Vicksburg! What exactly kind of information were you looking for?

Vicksburg- we all have such different experiences and expectations. I read in previous threads that lots of times UCSF likes for people to reapply to show that they are serious. I applied last year and did not get an interview. This past year I worked really hard to fill what I thought was my weakness. I thought it was to spend more time with my target demographic- which is women, as I am applying for CN/WHNP. This year when I reread my goal and personal statement from last year, I realized that there was a big shift and I had lot grown a lot. As a result I wrote about life experiences that made me who I am and have motivated me to keep pursing this course, which I thought I did last time- but I only skimmed the surface. I wrote about things that I don't like to talk about. I reviewed writings that I kept over the past year where I wrote about the experience of the women I worked with and I used those in my statements. My statements are so different one can tell a different people wrote person wrote them. Last year I felt like the application was easy, everything fell into place. This year it was really hard, I felt like I had to work for everything. I hope that this was of some help. You know what UCSF is looking for- so keep doing those things.
We still have to get through the interview, decisions, and if we are lucky figuring out how to paying for it. The next few months will be rough with the uncertainty, but there is also the dream to keep us going. And that dream is why you will apply again when you are ready. Good luck!
Hi prospective MEPNs! I'm a current MEPN, FNP track. I know how nerve-racking this time of year can be (at least it was for me a year ago). Please let me know if you'd like any insights for the interview day. We have a nice chunk of nothing for the next few weeks, and I'm happy to help!
