I applied to the Masters Entry in Nursing Program at UVM in October of 2009. I have yet to hear anything from UVM. I have called both their graduate admissions office and their Department of Nursing and gotten a different answer each time. First I was told we would hear back early January (deadline was December 1st). Then I was told end of January. Then I was told a phone call would be received end of January/early February. The latest I've been told is that letters are sent out at the end of February.
I'm at my wits end with this program as I have applied to others and been accepted. Unfortunately UVM is my first choice, and I have no idea if I even have a chance. I would like to start filling out financial aide information for other programs, but would really like to hear from UVM first.
Any insight? Has anyone applied and already heard from UVM?
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...
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.
Does anyone know when the semester starts this summer? I received my acceptance letter yesterday (in RI). I had been out of town, may have arrived earlier.
lunchboxblue: I think it depends on what classes you have to take. Depending on your undergrad work, you may be able to skip classes biomedical science. I would e-mail them at UVM.
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!
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!
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.
