Hi! I just submitted my application last week. My background is in public health / perinatal quality collaboratives. It seems like we’re all interested in CNM so far.

Whoa! You've already submitted? That's fast. I'm nowhere near ready to submit.

I'm a lawyer (corporate/capital markets/emerging companies) and am transitioning my career toward sexual and reproductive health equity and access. I volunteer as a birth and postpartum doula and CLC at a hospital. I'm applying to CNM/Womxn's Health also!

Hey guys! How is everyone feeling about their applications?

I submitted mine a couple of days ago! I started feeling like every time I re-read my essays and resume I was tempted to keep making changes and keep uploading a new version to the portal. So, it felt like I should take a deep breath, click submit and let it be what it will be! 

How is everyone else feeling?

I honestly haven't thought about the application since I submitted-- I have a "leave it to fate" kind of mindset about this process. I'm still working on apps for other schools. Anyone applying anywhere else?
