UT AE-MSN 2017

Published

Hi, everyone. I am planning on applying to the ae-msn program this fall. I've read through all the ae-msn posts from '08 to 2016. I didn't see a thread for this year's application, so I'm starting one. Feel free to post questions and comments! :)

mmckinlay3 thank you for that info! It makes me feel so much better! Also, your tips are incredibly helpful as well. :)

Hey y'all! Hope everyone is hanging in there okay. I interviewed for the CNS program last week and it went really well. The two interviewers really made me feel at home and as soon as they introduced themselves and we shook hands, I felt the anxiety melt away. My only suggestion would be to just be yourself. Share your passion for nursing and support this with your past experiences. Good luck to those who haven't interviewed yet. They said decisions would be made come the end of January. It feels like forever away!!

Hey y'all!

So I had my interview on Tuesday morning. It lasted an hour exactly. I just had one interviewer. She had some prepared questions, which she would jot down my answers to. This kindof made me nervous, like wondering what she was writing, and if she was capturing my point well. I had one like REALLY bad answer to a question. It's okay, I'm over it now. I knew I couldn't get out of it without some of my spaziness showing haha. I just completely froze and couldn't think. But after we moved on, I think most of my responses went alright. I definitely recommend having some questions prepared at the end, because she really perked up when I would ask more about the program. She loved talking about it, which says good things about the professors. They seem to really want the best for students. Overall, try your best to have a good time with it (easier said than done I know), because it'll be over before you realize it. You want to be your happiest, least freaking out self possible. Even though, I'm looking back and realizing I did stupid stuff, I know that I showed her my whole self, complete with nervous over-talking and funny anecdotes. So if they don't want me in the end, that's alright. Because that means I wouldn't have been a good fit. If you show them who you really are, that's all you can really do. NO RA-GRETS! ;)

Good luck to everyone! And try to enjoy the holidays!

Well, I just got my email. I'm being considered for the PMHNP wait list and referred to LeaDs. It's rough, but I'm happy I still have a chance.

I was about to post about how I still haven't heard and then I got my email too! Thanks to everyone that has told us about their experiences. They have been very helpful and reading about them eases the nerves.

@Circuscat -- I just got my email this afternoon too, same situation. I feel like the email was pretty vague, and the paragraph about waitlisting was worded so confusingly. Do you know if we can/how we can find out where we stand on the waitlist? I'm pretty discouraged; I thought my interview went really well. I'll probably accept the offer to be *considered* for LeaDs... as long as it doesn't reduce my chances of being admitted for PMHNP. What's your plan with LeaDs?
