Hi! Anyone else accepted into the program and want to discuss decisions? Thanks!

[Norby]

Yes! I did! I am thinking I will commit but because they gave us two weeks and I am still waiting for other programs. How about you?

I applied priority deadline so I had to decide by early January. at that time I was waiting on many other schools so I declined. I am likely headed to yale, but UVMs program was the cheapest so I have slight regret. the timing of these things makes it impossible to make an educated decision! I almost want to ask if I can undo my decline response LOL. 
Are they having an accepted students day? 

[Norby]

Yale sounds awesome, congrats! I have not heard anything about an accepted students day. I also applied ED but I had to update them with some classes at the end of December so I got my acceptance a little later. Perhaps the regular decision comes out soon. The various decision dates makes it really hard to choose! Did you apply to MGH by any chance?

Yes I did! I declined. Way too expensive for a small grad school and they did not offer me any $. Are you considering MGH vs. UVM?

Ugh! The prices are getting really scary. I just interviewed at Seattle University and should hear back 3/1. I haven't heard back from MGH yet but I only applied 4ish weeks ago (ED). I also applied to Simmons but I am now realizing their program does not have the best reputation. MGH sounds like a great program but the price is hefty. What program did you apply for at MGH?

Agreed about Simmons. I applied direct-entry MSN for AGPCNP Specialty.

Hi Everyone,

I got accepted for Adult Gerontology Nurse Practitioner (AGNP) track. I am glad but I live far away in California. I am thinking about moving to Vermont with my wife and new born and things are already looking like an its gonna be a new beginning for us in terms of lifestyle since its cold up there. I have few questions and would be glad if any one has answers.

Does anyone know how students get to pay their entire fees? is it mostly through FAFSA or do the get any free moneys? I really cannot afford to pay anything out of pocket at this time.

Does anyone know how to successfully find a home close to UVM?

I have been looking for info about Simmons to get a feel for their reputation. Would you mind sharing a bit about what you've learned or maybe point me in the right direction? TYSM & Congrats!
