UMSON DNP FALL 2021

[fabrn123]

Hi all! ?

I am making this thread for all UMSON DNP candidates for Fall 2021! I'm applying to the Family NP option. Anyone else applying? Good luck to all!

Congrats to all!

Hey guys. Has anyone who applied to the AGAC/CNS heard anything? I applied late and just wondering who has heard what.

For all of those still waiting, I saw that there was indeed an e-mail on my junk box. It is possible the e-mail preceded the notification on the application website.

Good luck!! It makes me nervous that they're going to be sending out decisions in just a few weeks and I still haven't heard anything about an interview.. ?

Good luck to you too!! I'm pretty nervous about it as well. Hoping we both get offered interviews.

Hi all! Has anyone heard anything post-interview for the Baltimore campus FNP program?

nope, I interviewed for the 3 year FNP program for shady grove campus first week of January, and I have not heard anything. my status still says "committee review."

My application has said Committee Review since 1/11/21. I was thinking I would be contacted by now for interview. Does every accepted candidate get invited for an interview? Do they accept students without one? I applied after the November of 1st deadline because I saw on the program website they were still accepting applications. Thanks

According to their website at  https://www.nursing.umaryland.edu/academics/doctoral/DNP/

They have the following:

• Completed applications received after the priority deadline are reviewed on a space-available basis.
• After the admissions committee file review, applicants may be invited to an on-campus interview.
• Applicants not selected for an interview will not be advanced to the next stage of applicant review.  

It seems that everyone must go to an interview process prior to getting accepted or wait-listed. 

Maybe you could reach out to Admissions Office to check the status of your application?

Thank you for clarification.

I have a feeling I didn’t get in. My status still says “committee review”. When I called admissions they told me they were still doing interviews.

I’m starting to feel that way too but I am telling myself if I don’t get an interview it is due to their space constraints and because I applied in early January. The website said they were still accepting applications so I had everything in 1/4/21. On 1/11 it changed to committee review but crickets since then. I know I am not alone but on paper I believe I am an ideal candidate. I am certified in psych and have inpatient, outpatient and Psych ED experience. I also have one year of ICU. Looks like I will be going with a cheaper MSN option.

jt2288, I am cheering for you, and hoping it is just a matter of time too, for them to grant you guys an interview!
