Anyone applying right now for fall entry? Any current students have any insight into the app process?

What do you want to know? Timelines? 

I just graduated. When I applied and most cohorts after me, people found out about mid Feb. My date was Feb 15 and found out about 11am. Or at least that's when I had a status change on my app.

I applied by their 10/15 priority deadline - how soon after you the deadline do you hear back about an interview? 

Did you like the program? Would you recommend it? The one thing I'm nervous about is finding clinicals in my area.

I can't speak on FNP, but as a whole Vanderbilt has a great program. I got a lot out of it. I did AGPC. One of my preceptors was actually an FNP alum from VUSN. 

While the academic work can be daunting, I graduated 8/6, passed boards 9/14. When I hit the reviewing, a lot of it was literally review because prepares you. I just had to hone my test taking skills.  Maybe get a review course while you're going through school and study the system in it that you're studying for class if you want to prepare ahead of time. 

I was OMTA too. Besides one preceptor I found myself and preferred, Vandy found me that FNP alum in my area. 

As far as interviews, Vandy did not have any. I cannot find info on interviews on a quick perusal today. So I am sorry, cannot speak on interviews.

Did you do the one year post masters certificate?
