Vanderbilt MSN-Direct Entry 2014

Published

Hi All,

I haven't seen a thread yet with regards to the MSN Direct Entry to Vanderbilt. I applied for a priority look (Dec 1) for the FNP program. Is there anyone else out there who has applied? Looking at threads from last year, it looks like many applicants found out mid-February to early March, with the FNP candidates finding out last. I'm signed up to go to the open house March 1, but would really like to know if I've been accepted or not by then. Hope to hear from others that have applied so we can keep each other informed of any updates.

I really hope many of us get an answer today. Otherwise, it will make for a VERY long weekend...again :) Keep us updated if anyone hears anything.

I got waitlisted for the direct entry FNP. Not feeling very encouraged by the conversation I had with the lady in admissions regarding the waitlist :(

Tracytracy- who did u talk to? Does direct entry mean you have a bsn or msn?

I just called and asked for admissions. It wasn't the usual cheerful lady who has helped me in the past. Direct entry meaning I already have my BSN- so it would be for the second year, or specialty year.

I got a one sentence email from someone name Bernie that just said "We were unable to offer you admission at this time". That's it. I called to see if I could get further info for what that meant. Does at this time mean on the waitlist? Do I get a letter or just the one sentence? I just wanted to speak to someone that could give me more info. Left a message. Awaiting a call back.

I was told that I would receive an email regarding being "waitlisted" and I would need to declare if I would like to still be considered on that list, if that's any help. I've been told that to get into the FNP or the CNM program for direct entry is EXTREMELY difficult. Nonetheless, it's still frustrating.

Just had an email conversation with the FNP director. My file is being reviewed right now and they had some questions about my Goal Statement. It's 10 min to 5 on a Friday...just give me an answer!!

Spotify is playing "Don't You Want Me" right now. I need to find a "Waiting with Angst" playlist.
