Hi everyone!
I wanted to start a thread because I didn't see one yet for the UVA CNL 2017 applicants. Anyone else out there? I just submitted my application and am applying to a few other direct entry MSN programs. Let me know how the rest of you are doing!
I'm pasting what I put on last year's applicants' page since my advice remains the same:
PASTE BEGINS
Congrats to everyone who got good news! I mentioned before, but since someone asked: I know we have at least two people in our current program who were on the wait list, so if you ended up there, don't give up hope!
And to anyone who didn't get good news: I know of a handful of folks who didn't get in their first time around or who didn't get into their first choice but ended up extremely happy in another program, so try and keep that in the back of your mind. It sucks that they can't accept more folks in each class, so sometimes it's just how the cards fall. Having the stats to be considered a legitimate candidate in the first place pretty much guarantees you success soon no matter where you land.
To the incoming class: I highly recommend one of you start a Facebook group. (You can make it a closed group.) It's a great way to share information and get to know each other. You'll have a TON of questions going forward, and it beats trading a thousand e-mails. We even had a few second-year students in the program volunteer to join our group who answered lots of our questions about everything from textbooks, where to live and park, what to expect, etc.
Hope this makes your holidays wonderful. Glad the waiting is over for you. Get ready for a crazy ride!
It should let you PM me, and I'm happy to answer questions. (Though I think I remember it making you post X number of posts on this site before it will let you.)
Better still, assuming you've decided you're definitely accepting their offer, if you wanted to create a "UVA CNL Class of 2019" page on Facebook, I'd be happy to answer there, and then other folks who are joining your class could see that info too.

Just wanted to say that I am hoping for the best for all of the applicants as we await receiving the decision tomorrow! Not sure how I'm going to sleep!
