UT AE-MSN 2021

Published

Starting a thread for those applying to UT’s AE-MSN program. ☺️

Congratulations future AEMSNs! I'm so happy for all of you that wanted it and made it happen, you seem like such a smart and kind and resourceful group of people. 

@gabby I haven't heard anything at all and my status hasn't updated. Does it show on your status page your waitlist position? I read in the 2020 thread that people could see their standing. 

Has anyone else not heard anything and still seeing 
"Attention: Your file has been forwarded to the Graduate Committee for review" message? I'm trying to keep calm and carry on while taking dosage exams over here. I'm going to need an IV myself soon!

I created a facebook group for those accepted into the program. Eventually it will be geared towards LeaDS, but for now all programs feel free to join so we can all get a bearing on this new adventure!

Hi, everyone! I am in the AE-MSN 2020 cohort at UT-Austin. First, I am so excited for you all and for the journey that led you to the program. I can completely relate to how you all are feeling right now, what a whirlwind of emotions, right? Being in the LeaDS track, I thought I could provide some insight/advice regarding the interview. First, each track is different on who interviews you and what type of questions you are asked. For me, I echo what others who recently had their LeaDS interview have stated. That is exactly what I was asked. I would certainly have a clear description on why you chose AE-MSN versus an accelerated BSN program, and refrain from saying "because I already have a Bachelors." Think, what differentiates this program from an accelerated BSN, and respectively, what can you do with an MSN versus a BSN? Other than that, make good eye contact, dress professionally, and I would say smile but the mask unfortunately will hide that. Smile under it! Most importantly, be yourself. The professors are really kind, made me feel comfortable and so much less nervous. They truly do want to see who you are holistically, not just who you are on your resume/CV. We all come from a different background and I believe that is what makes the AE-MSN program so unique. 

Hi. I saw that you were waitlisted for LeaDs 2020 cohort. Can you tell me how you handled that. I am waitlisted for LeaDs, #7 and just very anxious and kindve disappointed. I know Tracy says they consistently admit 10+ from the waitlist. How many in your cohort came from the waitlist?

Hi there! Yes, I was #8 on the waitlist. I can empathize with your disappointment as I felt that, too, but also realized that out of all applicants, I was that much closer to being accepted versus hearing a "no." I got my acceptance in March, so the wait from January until then was stressful. I'm not sure of your situation, but I only applied to UT as my husband's job is based here in Austin so moving to another state or city was not something we could accommodate. 

There are two-week periods for those who got accepted to officially accept their admission. For us, it always ended on a Friday so I would email Tracy the following Monday and ask for an update on my new place on the waitlist. She does not mind and understands that we have lives outside of this program (family, moving, jobs, etc). I went through two admission acceptance rounds and got an email from Tracy that I was accepted. That was the best day. 

My advice, although it is understandably difficult and stressful, keep your hope alive and positive thinking. Remember why you want this and your passion to enter the field of Nursing. It is easy to get negative and feel very unsure, but I am hopeful for you! #7 is a good place and also remember, you made it incredibly far out of everyone who applied!
