For prospective applicants for the 2017 year in the Vanderbilt MSN program. Being as I am currently wait listed in the 2016 year due to a very late application, there is a high probability I would have to apply again come November 1st 2016 for the following year acceptance.
November 1st, 2016 is the priority application deadline for the 2017 year. All materials (GRE, official transcripts, application payment, letters of recommendation, statement of intent) must have been submitted by this date.
Letters of acceptance for August 2016 orientation and start were sent out the first week of February 2016. Wait listed recipients received their wait list offer in an around the first week of March 2016 with the caveat that seats may open well into late July.
Hi all! I was accepted for PreSpecialty CNM, but am a little weirded out by not having ever received an email--I just checked my application yesterday and found my acceptance letter there. They certainly could have been a little more transparent about the whole process/notified everyone at the same time. Does anyone know if there is a Facebook group for accepted students yet?
@JDLFNP, I'm in the exact same boat Let me know what you decide because I'm completely torn. I like that I wouldn't have to have my own car in Boston because I think I'll be able to rely on the T and zipcar when I need to. It also seems like everyone from BC's program always speak to highly of how supportive the faculty and cohort are. Not that I haven't heard positive things about Vanderbilt as well, but I get the impression that BC is more tight-knit and supportive. What do you think?
I'm leaning toward Vandy because I think it's more nationally-reputable, and I don't know if I want to remain in Boston. Everyone seems great at BC, but I honestly would love Nashville, and I think the FNP program/Vanderbilt's dedication to primary care is very noteworthy. That's why Vandy is winning, and I will decide by Sunday to not torment myself too much.
Hey! I'm currently a senior nursing student that just got accepted to the AGACNP program at vandy! I'm very excited but I was just wondering if anyone knew how long the degree took? Is it one or two years? Thanks!
I was recently accepted into the pre-specialty PMHNP program!! I'm very excited but can't help but feel a little overwhelmed by the price tag! From speaking with admissions before the application process i thought that tuition would be about 115,000 and that we would be able to work the second year to offset the cost. With all of the fees tuition looks like it will be about 140,000 and working during the second year is still allegedly very difficult to do. This means with living expenses its going to cost me about 180,000. Anyone else surprised by this or is this the standard rate of these programs?
I had same conundrum last cycle but there are many external scholarship opportunities you can apply for. Mind you that 115,000 is a rough estimate of the tuition. Fin aid previously sent out an email with financial aid information and estimate based on the previous year's costs.
The estimate for pre-specialty year (non-RN) was $62,045. This cost includes cost/credit, other fees, not including your cost of living expenses. The estimate for specialty year (PMHNP) was $57,968. So just tuitions and fees, you will have to pay $120,013. I am sure you got the internal scholarship, which typically offsets 10% of the tuition, so it'll come out to be about $108,013 for the duration of the program. The number does look intimidating but a lot of external scholarship opportunities are still available and do spend time until the school starts to offset the tuition. VUSN website has an excellent list of external scholarships, after you celebrate your achievement of being admitted to VUSN!
