Hey everyone! So I just wanted to start a fresh new thread for applicants that are interested in the 2017 Fall Cohort at the University of Rochester's ABPNN Program. It seems that a lot of people who commented in previous threads pertaining to this cohort got lost in the threads and never really had their questions/comments/concerns addressed. So I just felt it was best to start a new one! I applied to the program back in February, but have not yet heard anything. I know that they are wrapping up the acceptances for the May 2017 cohort, but has anyone who applied for Fall 2017 heard anything?

fie202 3 Posts Apr 19, 2017 Past threads were talking about interviews/interview requests in like February so naturally i'm a bit worried. At this point, does no interview=no chance?
hbs1521 21 Posts Apr 19, 2017 I honestly think it varies. My interview was last week whereas others had theirs months prior to mine. They have so many applicants and they apparently interview everyone so I wouldn't be too worried. If anything, it cant hurt to give them a call and express your concerns. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
fie202 3 Posts Apr 19, 2017 The way Nancy made it seem when I emailed her was that my application is being reviewed to determine whether or not I will receive an interview. If not I will receive a letter in June about the Committee's decision. So I'm hoping that I get an invitation to an interview. Good luck to you and thanks for your input!
rr33 23 Posts May 1, 2017 Yeah I heard late May, early June, some other forums stated 1st or 2nd week of June so it's definitely too early. I think most people get interviewed because Nancy contacted me right after she got my application.

briswanson10 10 Posts May 19, 2017 Hi all,When I had my interview with Marina she said that over 300 applicants applied and they pick 60 to interview and the final class is around 30-35 I believe. Is anyone planning on relocating to Rochester from another city if you get accepted? Brianna
jss469t77 6 Posts May 23, 2017 I was told the final class is about 60/65 but I'm not sure if they interview everyone or just some. I feel like they wouldn't spend their time interviewing 300+ people if the final class is so small. Has anyone tried to email Nancy on the status of applications/ know how the wait list works?
rr33 23 Posts May 28, 2017 Hi.. so early June is coming up and I imagine we are all going to be on here anxiously waiting on decisions!!! I am already accepted to one program and am waiting on U of R. Though U or R is kind of expensive, it has great name recognition and I imagine the 12 months will fly by! I have heard many things about the class size of the APBNN program, from 35 - 100, so I'm really not sure how that works... Other than the admissions process, I haven't heard much about the program, which I'm not sure if it's a good or bad thing. U of R is a very reputable school with a medical school so I imagine their nursing program would match their reputation.GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL!
