Vanderbilt MSN 2015

Published

Hello,

I am applying for the MSN program in '15, due in December. I was wondering if anyone knew how much weight the GRE holds, in regards to being competitive? I am a little nervous about my scores not being competitive. Any advice will help!

Best regards,

Given your username, bostons, I'm suspecting you applied to a few Boston schools?

I did, but it is totally coincidental. Its actually just the title of a song I really like. I applied to Simmons, MGH, and Seattle University. I was going apply at BC as well but they have the pathophysiology prereq and schools in my area didn't offer it by the time applications were due.

Why does it worry you? It kinda bothers me, simply because I feel that people going into a psych specialty should be screened prior to admission to make sure they are in good mental health themselves.

That's partly it. I was so surprised since I thought they always interviewed for psych - my outlandish explanation was that maybe there are a handful of spots open and maybe only a few applicants were any good so admissions said "Sweet, we're all done here, no interviews needed." Or, more likely, they skipped interviews since psych generally has fewer applicants than other specialties anyway.

Did anyone that applied for just the Family specialty have an interview? I saw a few people comment that they were interviewed for the dual programs, but I'm curious if Vandy did interviews for Family only applicants.

Wow. After choosing to stay within 2.5 hours for clinicals, I am very happy that I was also accepted!

Congrats!

Not sure what I'll choose at the moment. I really want to go to Columbia but we will not find out about that until mid-Feb... which is past the deadline to decide for this school

Unfortunately, the deadline to accept admission is January 30th. I am also waiting for Columbia, UPenn, Yale, Duke, and John Hopkins, which all release decisions after February. I am thinking about asking for an extension of a week or two, and if that isn't an option, I will pay the deposit and lose the $200 if I decide to go somewhere else. But I hear Nashville is really nice, and I am so relieved that I got in somewhere!

Hello!

I'm new to all nurses but came across this thread. I was just accepted into the pediatric primary care program. Is there anyone else out there in this specialty?

Good luck to everyone!!
