University of Rochester ABPNN MAY 2019

[kittyxgirl94]

Hey everyone!

I recently applied to UOR ABPNN for May of '19. I had my interview on October 9th. I am waiting for a response from admissions but have not heard anything back yet. I read online from their FAQ ~12 weeks you will receive an admission. I have read previous posts and saw people were getting their decision in February and so fourth.

Has anyone else applied to this program and heard anything back yet?

Is the blackboard content for Path/ Pharm NUR 370 course available to anyone? I received an email from the instructor that it was open, but when I checked it was still unavailable to me??

For those of you accepted into the ABPNN cohort would you be willing to share your statistics (GPA, work experience, research experience, etc.) I will be apply by the July 1st deadline and wanted to determine where I stack up against other accepted applicants. Thank you ?

This is a crude estimate but from the current cohort is sounds like GPA’s varied from 3.4 to 3.9. Some had premed backgrounds with heavy science and math course loads. Jobs varied from business to medical providers from other countries. I think the most common jobs were hospital techs, emt, research, health aids.

Thank you for the information! So do you feel that this program prefers applicants with medical and/or research experience?

Couldn’t say. They are all well rounded people with strengths in a variety of different intelligences. It’s cool to be a part of such a diverse group of people.

Hey! Current student here! Not sure how your gpa is but even if its a little lower than stated above, try to have a lot of health care related experience! This cohort is extremely over qualified and diverse in terms of their experiences whether its health care related (ie research) or patient care related! A lot of the students were once PA school/ PT and Med school bound who had a change in their journey! Hope this helps!

Hello,

I'm currently in 3rd semester now.

1st Semester - transitions you into the accelerated program. The first semester is hard because you have to get used to the type of questions that they ask you on exams (select all that apply).

2nd Semester - content is easier compared to 1st semester but you get weekly exams (which was annoying) because you're literally studying every single week.

3rd Semester - very tough because med surg is pretty hard.

Conclusion: fast-paced but manageable

Thank you tremendously for replying! More questions lol : Are the classes everyday? Does the schedule allow for adequate studying time? Does clinicals Start semester 1?
