Vanderbilt Pre-Specialty Entry 2021

Published

I noticed there was not a thread created for Vanderbilt pre-specialty nursing for 2021, so I created one. Is anyone already preparing for this upcoming application cycle?

Yes very interesting thanks for sharing. If definitley says the 8% increase is people with BSNs already. I could imagine Covid is driving a lot of very burnt out and under-appreciated (in some communities) RNs to choose now make the transition to advanced practice. 
 

I will say, I also applied to Yale’s direct entry program for people with non-nursing bachelors, and interview decisions came out a little late due to a “high number of applicants.” I have a feeling a decent number of people who applied last year may have turned down their seats due to Covid and are reapplying now, making aN usually large applicant pool. Just a hunch, no data to back it up ?

Happy holidays all!

Quick question - does anyone know whether a "human development through the lifespan" course will satisfy the "developmental psychology" prereq?

Thanks! That's what I thought. Vandy is the only school I've applied to that requires it, so I'm thinking of putting it off until Summer, so I'll be sure I need it (these prereqs add up fast). But I'm also nervous to leave it until last minute. ?

Historically it’s a Valentine’s Day gift from admissions to let us know the status!

Is there any information on their acceptance rates or how many they accept to the program?

Link gives an idea of how many have other degrees aka a number for prespecialty, but that would be total for all the specialties I think!
