Vanderbilt MSN 2020

Updated:   Published

I just attended Vanderbilt's fall open house for the 2020 year and I'm really excited to be applying! I'm hoping to connect with other Vandey applicants so we can offer support and info along this process. I am applying to the post BSN dual CNM/ FNP program.

I thought it was suppose to say completed instead of submitted?

Mine says "submitted on 10/30/2019" and I have all green checks. I also got a confirmation email that I'm being considered among the priority applicants so if you click on your application and all the checks are green, I think you're good to go!

I do have all the green checks. Maybe I’m just worried because I never got a confirmation email outside of one saying I submitted my application.

Has anyone else’s application still says submitted instead of completed? I have all green checks on my application, nothing else to submit, but it has been still saying submitted.

Mine just says submitted also. If it's meant to be, it'll be... all we can do is wait! I seriously doubt we'll hear anything before March 1 despite the email.

Since you applied for the regular rounds, it's possible that they haven't start reviewing yet. About 2 weeks after submission, is when I received my confirmation email stating I'm being reviewed in the priority review group.

Hey Everyone,

I am also anxiously awaiting an admissions decision. I applied for the AGACNP program by the priority date and received the 11/14 email as well. Wishing you all luck.

Hiii! I think its important for us all to stay optimistic. I attended the information session later last year and we were told the part they really used to weed out applicants is the applicant's understanding of the scope of practice for his or her specialty. So for example if you are in the family NP track, you cant write that you only want to work with children or only adults as it makes them think you dont understand that family practitioners work with populations across the lifespan. Also for what its worth, last year 668 people applied with the BA/BS non nursing degrees and 433 were admitted out of which 158 enrolled. So that is something to really be hopeful about. We got this!

Does this mean the others declined the offer/went somewhere else? Do they accept that many initially under the assumption that that will happen or accept 200 ish then put a ton on the waiting list to start calling when people decline there offer? I have heard this is the case most semesters that a lot are admitted and significantly less enroll but maybe you have more insight than me into what that really means.

hi @colleens0807, what I can deduce from the information session I attended was the program is frankly expensive. Very expensive. For the two years you would be spending in the school you're looking at about 150K in tuition alone. The lady from financial aid who spoke to us was candid enough to tell us they didn't give a lot of financial aid. So technically my guess is, with the current situation, lets assume they only have about 120 spots for the entire cohort. It wouldn't be very prudent to only accept about 150 students and put out a long waiting list. Instead you will accept a wider number and hope a good number would accept their offers considering a lot of other students who are good enough to get in may also be accepted to other schools who may have more to give in financial aid. Vanderbilt is a top school especially for the psych np program, I was blown away when I visited. but they know the top candidates would always have options. So the goal would be to attract as many as they can.
