Published

Hello all,

I was wondering if anyone else applied to the UMass Worcester GEP DNP program? Let’s discuss! Thanks ?

I believe they look at the applications based on the date you applied, so I'd still be hopeful if you applied later! I applied in early October too and heard on Friday for my interview. Applied for the PMHNP track! 

 

received an invitation for an interview tonight. I actually cannot find a slot to set up an interview so I will email to tomorrow.

Really? No interview slots left? I haven’t heard back so that sounds discouraging for me. Which track did you apply if I may ask?

I don't know if the schedule is closed for the night or if there's no slot left but I couldn't schedule tonight for sure. I applied for PMHNP

I did too! The interviews go through February though. It looks like they filled up quickly. The earliest time when I looked was February 5th, so that's what I signed up for. 

How are you preparing for the interview? I don't even know where to start...

Do you or anyone on here mind sharing interview tips after your interview? I know there were several questions posted from last year but it may change this year. I don't know. Anything will help. My interview is on February 15. You can also DM me if that's preferable.

I had my interview on Thursday, they were so nice and made me feel really comfortable. Be yourself, that sounds so basic but truly, just be yourself. They asked questions about why nursing, why the specialty I chose, about previous work experience and educational experience that shaped me into who I am today. I prepped myself for all the questions that were previously asked and they asked only those. there were no abrupt questions. prepare for strength and weaknesses too! good luck!! you got this! they are interviewing you for a reason! 

 

for a timeline- they said early march we will hear about acceptance offers!

Thanks, that's such a great review. Is it just one applicant being interview? I watch a Youtube video about schools interview more than one applicant on zoom.

I had two faculty members interview me at one time!

Has anyone been able to figure out the cost of the program? The tuition and fees site is a bit confusing. For the PMHNP program which is 121 credits, when calculating by credit, the total cost is $109,364. But, on another part of the website it gave me the GEP yearly cost of $40,451, which when multiplied by 4 comes to $161,804. Since there is a $50,000 difference I was curious to see if anyone had any answers or had heard about the total cost. I am just trying to compare the pricing to my other program options.
