[Jlnp2b]

Hello all,

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

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. 

You’re a GEP student only during your first year. The tuition drops after.

Thank you! I thought this too but they actually just got back to me today, here is the response 

“The subsequent years will be billed as GSN Graduate Entry Program tuition and fees- $40,451. It is subject to increase yearly by 1.5%.”

Just to go off of it for anyone who wants to see the price, they just told me

"For 4 years it would roughly be around 165,400 before aid."

Hi Everyone, 

I also applied and just scheduled my interview. Any tips or advice on how to prepare would be very helpful. How long was the interview? Which faculties interviewed you? What type of questions were asked? Etc. 

 

Thank you so much!

Hi everyone! I have my interview tomorrow, and was looking to see if anyone who has had their interview had any last minute tips or info about how it went? I'm nervous about it but excited. Fingers crossed!

I found it very conversational and my interviewers were both so friendly! I interviewed for PMHNP. They mainly discussed the GEP year and asked how I could handle an accelerated format, and then the rest was why PMHNP and so on. They also asked me about potential DNP project topics of interest so that is good to have in the back of your mind! Other than the project topic question I found it to be very similar to my interviews with other programs!

Anyone know the amount students being accepted to each cohort? I applied for PMHNP and I expect it to be very competitive. I had my interview on February 15 and the nerves are just kicking in.

Has anyone heard back yet? I am really anxious! I heard that decisions were coming out the end of this week?

[beachreadnp]

They accept roughly 40-45 students per cohort, so I think about 8-9 students per specialty. 

I haven't heard yet either! When I interviewed, they told me they're convening today actually to go through all interviewed applicants, and then "the following Friday" (not sure if that's tomorrow or next Friday the 4th) we hear back!

@eshea112 Not yet! Anxiously waiting. Do you know if we have to wait for them to mail the letters or if they will call or email us?
