Vanderbilt Grad Entry 2012 Application

depends on the specialty-- but i would guess 20-30 (seems high though) max per specialty!

Great job getting the interview AnneP85!!

Hey Barbara,

When I said 23-24 prespecialty students, I meant for PMHNP only. I am not sure about any other specialty other that the PMHNP, and even then, it is just an estimate I got from the open house. Hope that helps clear up what I was saying a bit. Good luck to ALL!!

Almost February and I kind of want to get a feel for everyone on the forum. If you would be so kind, could everyone share what program you are applying to, where you did your undergraduate, experience level, GPA, GRE, etc? I'm from Florida applying for CNW, I graduated from University of Florida with a 3.8, I have only 100 hours of shadowing experience (eep!?) and a 1080 on the GRE. I applied to SU and northeastern as well, but I can't attend SU as I wont be ready to start in May, and apparently northeastern only accepts people with work experience in nursing. That always gets me- how can you get experience in nursing if you are a student with a non-nursing degree? Haha

Also- was everyone completely finished with Pre-req's when your application was submitted?

ahhh 24-26 spots I think for the PMHNP specialty. This does not take into account those applying with a BSN already-- that is a completely separate category. But 24ish spots for 70 applicants! Good luck to everyone :) I had my interview and I think it went well. Just asked me a few questions and if I had any.

Hi everyone,

I've lurked for awhile (not nice, I know) and am applying for the CNM specialty. This forum has been so helpful, so thanks to everyone who has shared about their application process! I received an e-mail today asking to schedule a phone interview--now I'm so nervous! Anyone already had their interview for CNM? I'll be digging through previous years to glean any info about it I can :)

Good luck to everyone!

Just got an email to set up a phone interview! I don't know what that means in terms of getting in but I am nervous and excited! I tried to schedule for Friday morning but they were already full (ahh!) so I am trying to pick a non-filled time spot. The latest they are doing interviews is February 8 so hopefully everything will be decided soon.

I can't PM yet...but good luck at your interview! I also tried to schedule for Fri morning and they were full. Everyone must have had the same idea!

Good luck to all!

Hey everyone!

Has anyone who applied to ACNP (Pre-Specialty) heard anything yet? It's now February 1st, and I'm getting concerned because the last I heard was that my "application was under review" in December. Best of luck to everyone!
