University of Minnesota MSN Fall 2019

Published

Hi everyone! I'm currently applying to U of MN for the MSN program (for non-nurses) and wanted to start a discussion board for applicants to comment on during the application/interview process. I can't wait to hear from you all!

Hi, I'm also applying for next year! Thanks for starting a thread

Do you what the timeline is going to be like this year for interviews and such? They moved the deadline to November last year and it seemed like interviews still happened pretty late, I wonder if they will be any earlier now that the deadline isn't as new.

I emailed the admissions office a few days ago and this is what they told me:

"We plan on sending out interview decisions in early January. We will host interviews in early February and will send out admission decisions in late February."

I hope that helps answer your question :) Are you applying to any other programs?

Darn, I was hoping they'd be earlier this year, but oh well. At Minnesota, I'm applying the MSN as well as direct admission to the DNP (midwifery), which is part of why I am so excited about UMN. I'm also applying to the direct-entry programs at Vanderbilt, U Penn, Boston College, and MGH. If I got the dual admission, UMN is my top choice! They have am amazing program for my husband (currently applying to pHD school) and I like that they offer a DNP instead of just a master's in the specialty.

Do you know when we will hear back?

From my understanding, we will hear back the first week of the new year!

Have any of you heard back regarding admission? They told me at my interview that we should hear some time near the end of February.

Not yet, I'm getting so antsy! Other schools are requiring acceptance deposits and such starting March 1st so it's cutting it pretty close. UMN is my top choice though and I really hope we hear soon!

Emails are out - I got in! I'm so excited to be accepting and to move to Minneapolis this fall. Still waiting to hear about MN-DNP direct admission but I've decided to accept regardless. Good luck to anyone waiting!
