UT AE MSN 2015

[jae73]

Hi all! I know this is a bit early, considering the application doesn't even go live until August 1, but UT is my number one school for Nursing. I just graduated from UGA with a BS in Psychology, and have around a 3.5 GPA. I have yet to take the GRE. I also am going to get a CNA certification and work for a year (hopefully in MedSurg) as well as shadow a family friend who is a Pediatric nurse. Many years before us have started a thread so I figured it would be a good idea to start one! I would really like to go into their Nurse Practitioner program, but as of right now there are some changes going on that said would be solidified in the fall.

Any feedback would be wonderful! As well as personal experience and what not!

I saw her filling out a sheet, I assume that certain questions are listed and you can rank the candidate 1-10 or something similar like that on each question and then those are added up. We do a similar process on employee evaluations at my job.

Anyone have any updates from their interviews or know when are the AE-MSN applicants expected to hear back?

[Macaroni84]

I have read through some UT Austin AE-MSN-related posts from previous years and I think early February is when they started hearing back. That won't necessarily be the same for us, but hopefully that settles your nerves.

Just heard back for my psych NP application. Didn't get in and was referred to leads. So I'm guessing one set of emails have been sent out. Good luck to everyone else!!

[AustinTex]

I just got the same email, Hashi.

[Hashi]

Do you think you will apply to the leads program Austin TeX? I'm still on the fence..

[AustinTex]

I think I've decided I'm going to go for it!

Kcast22 - did they ever tell you in your interview how many people were originally interviewed for LeaDs (including you and other NP applicants). I wonder how many seats are still left to fill.

[kcast22]

No they didn't. I got the impression that LeaDs is basically taking the place of "undeclared". So if a seat opens in the program you originally applied for you may have that option to switch. This degree just prevents you from being forced into a specialty that you don't want which would happen in the previous years. It seemed to me like there would be around 30-40 seats and what i imagine they will do is take those of you who received the email yesterday and re rank yall with the LeaDs group and then make decisions based on that. If that is the case i think you stand a good shot because you were obviously already ahead of some of us because you received an NP interview. However, I don't really know what your email said.

[kcast22]

What did your email say regarding the LeaDs referral?

[AustinTex]

It basically just said that the NP program is very competitive and that we're highly qualified, there just aren't many spots. And then they sent the video you were talking about in another post, and said that they would like to offer that if we would like to be considered.

[kcast22]

So they probably haven't made any decisions yet and no seats are spoken for in LeaDs yet either. If you got an interview with NP I imagine you stand a good shot at LeaDs if that is something you would want to do. I wonder what the numerical breakdown is for those who were interviewed in NP, ie how many were offered spots, waitlisted, LeaDs consideration vs how many were interviewed.
