I completed their FNP program this year and passed boards a few weeks ago (AANP). What do you want to know?

[ABC-123]

Great! Thanks for the quick reply. A few questions have been lingering in my mind...

Is the listing on the UVA website of a "strong candidate " pretty realistic ? Obviously in addition to the holistic approach in assessing personalities and communication skills.

Where there many graduate scholarships ?

Did you lovvvveeeee the program? Pros/cons?

The program seems more in touch with the needs of the patient population compared to others ive researched, did you note that in your studies ?

Congrats to you!!!!!

Thanks again!

I applied to their Psychiatric NP program. Were you at the graduate nursing information session back in October?

[ABC-123]

Nope. I couldn't make it.Any valuable information that you recieved that you think I should know ? It would be greatly appreciated. :)

It was helpful. I feel like a lot of the information that was gone over was on their admissions page. However, it was nice to be able to meet some of the admissions staff/faculty and ask specific questions. There were only about 20 people there, therefore most people applying this year were not present so don't feel like you are at a disadvantage for not being there.
