I applied as well, have not heard back yet! I was looking at previous threads and saw some were getting letters and some got emails? Do you know which form of contact we'll get?

To those that received interview invites do y'all mind sharing y'all's stats? I didn't get an invite yesterday which makes me think that I most definitely am not getting an invite so I want to kind of see what part of my stats seems to be lacking compared to others! Thanks, and congrats on those that received invites! ?

I haven't heard back either, so I'm guessing I didn't get the invite. I know MSA sent out rejection emails, Does anyone know if this program will send out rejection confirmation emails as well? Just weird they didn't send it the same time people got invited to interview. This is my first time applying so not sure how the process goes! Congrats to those who got invited! ❤️

I was looking through the older threads and I can't find an answer! But it seems like most people get the invites the same day so I don't think we hit any luck this time ? ! Have you reached out to the school to ask? I'm thinking of reaching out but I was hoping someone could shed some light on here first! Based on their website it doesn't say that there's going to be a specific day they will send out invites! I know some schools send them in batches, and others send everything out on one day! I just prefer to know if I'm rejected or not so I don't stay here doubting and having palpitations every time I get an email ? !

I can't agree enough! I wish I could just get the email saying yay or nay and be done with it ? every time I get an email my heart pounds and when I look down and see it's from my subscriptions I die haha. Fingers crossed we get something emailed to us!

I'm refreshing my email every two seconds this is not healthy ?‍?! I know people who have gotten tons of interview invites already and I'm over here unable to even get one ?! I rather get hit with a rejection right away than be panicked and waiting 24/7 just to get a "we regret to inform you", at this rate I'm going to become THANOS collecting rejections like infinity stones ?!

I got an invitation to interview yesterday! I've heard that they are laid back and focus on EI questions. Has anyone heard differently since the changes all programs have gone through with the DNP requirements?

GPA 3.9 overall 3.7 science, 2 published research articles, 1.5 years MICU/SICU and newly trained to ED with CRRT, IABP, and Impella training, over 24 hours of shadowing, leisurely volunteer work making animal care sheets for animal rescues and crocheting hospice blankets. They didn't ask for a resume though, so they know very little of this LOL. I think they focused heavily on the essay and references (mine were from a charge nurse, a nurse manager, and one of my research partners and former college professors).
