l gardens 9 Posts Feb 15, 2010 I had a phone interview about 3 weeks ago and haven't heard anything since. I think one of two things happened: the letter just hasn't arrived yet (I live out of state) or they mailed acceptances first, are waiting to see who makes the deposit, and then are sending out a second round of acceptances/waitlists/rejections. I'm so sick of waiting! Hope everyone hears soooooon...
VTgirl82 16 Posts Feb 16, 2010 hey folks, I just wanted to congratulate those of you accepted and cross my fingers for those of you waiting. In previous years they have pulled from the waitlist extensively so even if you find yourself on it, try to remain optimistic! I'm very excited about this year and will be trying to provide information about MEPN for others on a Facebook group. I thought it would be nice to have another place to meet, ask questions, and share info about the program. I can't post the link here, but it should be easy to find. Gina

hopefulinvermont 2 Posts Feb 19, 2010 Does anyone know if there were both 'waitlist' letters and 'no' letters that went out? My question really is, does "no" mean "no way in hell" or does "no" mean "you're on the waitlist"?Also, if anyone has been officially waitlisted, is there any way to know where you stand on the waitlist or how many people were put on the waitlist? Has anyone heard how many people applied for 2010?Thanks for any information. Congrats to those of you who are in already!
PsychRN28 37 Posts Feb 20, 2010 Hi everyone,I received my letter today and was waitlisted for the program. I was very happily surprised with this. I wasn't contacted for an interview, so for those of you who felt discouraged because of the lack of interview, there is definitely still hope for the waitlist! Just wanted to share my update! Good luck to everyone!
VTgirl82 16 Posts Feb 21, 2010 Good luck PsychRN28. I got in off the waitlist last year so there's definitely a good chance yet.
VTgirl82 16 Posts Feb 21, 2010 CSulliva and other MEPNer's, I have yet to take A&P. I'm not sure if I should take the 1.5 credit class that they offer online for anatomy and then the Biomed course or if I should try and take the real A&P. Your thoughts? Any feedback is much appreciated. Anyone else in the same bind?
