I think it depends whether your speciality requires an interview. I applied before the deadline. My speciality (adult-gerontology acute care) did not require an interview. I think it was about 2 or 3 weeks (after all my transcripts etc were turned in) that I got an email that said my application was under review. I think you will obviously hear later than this week. I think I heard someone else on this thread saying people who applied later wont hear until sometime in March. I would email admissions, I received email replies from them fairly quickly (1-2 days). Good LUCK!

Thanks for the info! I applied for the Peds PC Prespecialty track, which doesn’t seem to be as common on this thread. Hoping to hear something by the end of March I guess?

It depends on whether they had enough quality applicants to fill their class who applied by the deadline. If they did, you may still hear from them and be wait-listed.

Essentially, it is my understanding that they review in the first round everyone who submits by the priority deadline (11/1). If they can fill their class with good applicants from those people, they will. But if they don't have good quality applicants, they will keep looking through the folks who submitted later.

I would think it all depends on their applicant pool.

Good luck!!

Whoever thinks if you got RN behind your belt and it is easier to get in, you are WRONG! I have valid RN license, hold ASN and foreign doctorate degrees, have 2 publications( 1- neurology, 1- psych), have couple observeships( psych), poster presentations(psych).Nursing GPA -4.0, total-3.58. Guess what, NEVER heard from PMHNP program, and have feelings never will......

@ringelm out of curiosity what were your foreign doctorate degrees in? Have you worked as an RN?

I have not worked as RN, because I got a license last April, there is no point to get RN job and quit few months later if accepted by the school( at least this is how I think, plus I already have a job , equal to RN salary anyway) . I hold MD degree from one of the country’s in Eastern Europe .

I applied to the AG-ACNP program before the priority application date. Late in December I was contacted by the university and they asked me to apply for a specific scholarship. Has anyone else had this experience?

Are you prespecialty or direct?

Did anyone else apply to the Prespecialty WHNP/AGPCNP Dual Track program? If so, did you get a call for an interview?

Congrats on your recent graduation and getting a license! Why did you switch from MD to nursing?

I can not speak for WHNP. But AGACNP does not interview. ?

@Leslie1680 I applied to that specialty but did not receive a call about an interview. Have you?

One of the admissions coordinators just told me when we spoke that admission decisions would probably not be going out this week, but hopefully/most likely next week.
