University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa | Graduate Entry Program in Nursing (GEPN) MS-DNP - Fall 2025

Published

Hi everyone, I'm opening up this forum as applications have opened for Fall 2025. Hoping we could use this platform as a way to send updates, ask questions about the applications, etc! Has anyone submitted yet? ☺️

Hi! I am sooo nervous as well, especially since it is already January!  Keeping my fingers crossed for the both of us!  What program did you apply to and did you apply to any other nursing programs?

I feel like this wait has been forever! I hope we are accepted. 

I applied to the MS-APHN program. I put all of my eggs in one basket, UHM, and I hope they survive. I just hope my statistics and essays were enough! 

what program did you apply to? Did you apply anywhere else?

Hi! That was me last year. I only applied to the GEPN-DNP and unfortunately, I got waitlisted.

This year, I also applied and got accepted to Chaminade's BSN program, but I'm waiting to hear back from UH!

Is anyone as nervous as I am? I know they emailed stating decisions would be sent toward the end of January but I just keep hoping we will find out sooner! 

Hi! I'm nervous and anxious as well. Really hoping we get to hear from them soon!

OMG! My heart just skipped a beat and my hands are shaking from being so nervous. I checked my email (I've been checking way too much) and haven't received anything yet! 
 

I'm sorry you were waitlisted two years in a row but I'm so happy you were accepted to Chaminade! Hopefully, your waitlist position will turn into an acceptance, if that is still your desire!

Oh! I'm so sorry! Alternate is better than a denial! I hope your alternate spot becomes an acceptance. I'm still waiting to hear back. 😩😟

Fingers crossed! I don't want to wait an eternity if it's a denial.
