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.

Specializes in Perinatal.

I'm not sure if there was an explicit email about it but I do know that they said financial aid awards are based on FAFSA, like most other programs, so FAFSA will need to be completed. You can add up to 10 schools to get your FAFSA info. Here's a link to their web page: https://nursing.vanderbilt.edu/admissions/msn/financial_aid.php

Okay, just wondering if anyone received an email that we needed to apply because I have not received any emails besides my application being in by priority deadline.

Hey everyone! I was wondering if people knew of anyone who was accepted from a non nursing background with pre reqs still left? I have 3 left and will have one done by Jan. However, I saw one person on a post say that they were waitlisted and it seemed like it was because they had a pre req left. I'm already anxious because of my lower GPA. I just wanna prove my worth to them.

Hi! I am from a non-nursing background and was accepted last year with 3 pre-reqs in process.

Pre-specialty = enter the program as a non nurse

direct entry= Enter the program already a nurse

Both result in an MSN

So I applied in early November, but one of my professors didn't get to submit my letter of rec until recently. Do you think this is likely to impact my admissions decision?

Personally, I would think that it'll be too late. However, call tomorrow for clarity. Did you receive a confirmation email. I did in November, stating that I'll be considered in the priority review.

Just a reminder, decisions are expected to come out the THIRD week of February. I know last year Vandey had their phones and emails blow up starting the end of January, beginning of February (based on last years posts) and I think it may have delayed things a bit. I know it's hard to wait but given what they've said in info sessions, I'm not expecting decisions until the week of February 17th at the earliest.
Having said that, I am excited to almost there! ?

Is this your first year applying to Vandy MSN program? And what is your background in if you don't mind me asking. You sound like me because I have looked at previous allnurses threads multiple times to see how this application process goes haha

Who else is periodically checking their status even though they stated that the decisions aren't coming out until February? ? ???

Will it change from submitted to Accepted for example?

Hey guys,

I just found this thread and it's very comforting to see others just as worried as me haha! I applied in October for the FNP track. I am in the last semester of my BSN program. Also applied to several BSN-DNP programs. Best of luck to everyone over the next month or so!
