University of Rochester ABPNN Sept 2015

[Mermsies]

Hi! I'm looking at applying for the ABPNN at U of R. Does anyone know what GPA, major, age, and experiences they are looking for. I completed all the pre-req's and I'm graduating in Dec 14'. I haven't been able to find anyone that was willing to share their background info who already has been accepted in the program! Any details would be GREAT!!

I haven't received yet :-( When did u get the mail?

I got mine on the 15th, some other people got theirs on 12th and 13th. I'd call them if it hasn't arrived! They don't give you much time to get the deposit and response to them. Mine was due the 19th.

I'm applying this year with a 3.4 overall GPA 3.7 pre-req.

Have good ECs including volunteer work / 4 years of military service.

For those that have applied / gotten in, were your stats comparable to that?

Hello!

Thanks for all the great advice! I'm starting the program this Fall and it's nice to get an idea of what to expect. Can you give us some insight into what our schedule will be like starting in the Fall? For example how long should we expect to be spending in lecture each day? I know this is a difficult question to answer as our schedule changes a lot throughout the year but any information would be helpful!

Hi! I found this on their website, but I'm still waiting on the official word on schedules and such. :)

Has anyone on the wait-list heard back yet?

You're schedules will always be found online and they do/can change so make sure you keep checking it every so often. They will usually let you know, verbally, if there is a change as well. Expect to be in lectures the whole time especially for patho/phys. First and last semester can be challenging, but once you get in a groove with studying you guys will be just fine! Also, get the most out of SIM as you can... they truly are great learning experiences! Have fun guys!

Hey y'all,

I will be apart of the May 2016 cohort and was wondering if any of you know of specific housing that will available (individuals graduating or moving out). There's a good number of us coming from the west coast and me from out of state with zero clue on housing haha.

I know y'all are extremely busy studying and such but it would be a HUGE help!

:)

[KayGee]

I sent you an email. :)

Hello,

I was accepted into the ABPNN for Sep 2016. I still have not received my packet of information and have some questions that I am sure current and former ABPNN students have all had before.

I'm moving from NYC and currently do not have a car.

I have a 44lb husky-mix dog that I was wondering if I should bring to school with me. I understand if I do this, this will limit my housing choices. Do you think I can take care of a low maintenance dog while I attend the program?

How did you guys go about finding housing? I am interested in Westbrooke commons, and Rustic Village.

Do any of you want to sell your used books to me?

Please DM me if you can help me out. I look forward to attending the University of Rochester. I have heard only wonderful comments about the school.

[KayGee]

Yes, people have dogs in the program lol someone even has a husky!

Your life isn't totally destroyed while in the program, you just have to study a lot and write a lot of papers but there's still some free time. Some people even work!

Also, they are really slow at getting the packet to you, which sucks. Expect it soon though, it may even show up the first or 2nd week of July.

[Gfizzle]

Oh cool. Maybe my dog, Danika, can have playdates.

Did you work while you were in the program or do you work currently?

I am glad we share the same sentiment about this packet.
