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?

I considered it but wasn't totally sure, so ended up going with just Midwifery. Was just thinking about it again today though and wondering if I'd add FNP if they let me. My heart is definitely with midwifery but for just 1 more semester the FNP does open up a lot more options too! What made you choose the dual? 

That's awesome! I bet if there are still spaces available, they would be accommodating. I applied to other FNP programs, but was always conflicted between FNP and nurse midwifery - when I saw Vanderbilt offered the dual program, I was soo happy!

Has anyone else receive Financial Aid Information Packet email. Although It stated " Receiving this information does not indicate admissions to our program" Before I got to that part my heart dropped just a little from excitement.

LOL! My heart dropped too when I received it today. Tuition is so steep, any scholarship app recommendations?

I currently doing some research on that now, I probably should have started a while ago. I'm also having trouble really understanding the break down of cost.

Has anyone spoken to anyone at Admissions this year about a day that decisions would come out? I read the previous application cycle’s page and I saw someone commented that they spoke to Admissions and heard the news would come on the 14th, and it looks like it did.

Week of Feb 22 is what I heard. As for the exact day, not sure.

I think historically it's come out on the 14th, but it's not clear to me if they came out "early" on the 14th or if second week of February was advertised. All official correspondence so far has said it will be third week (22nd or later).

Isn’t the third week of February starting the 15th?

Yeah that’s wat I was thinking. The 15th should be the first day of the third week of February.

I think of weeks on a calendar running Sunday-Saturday, and technically since the 1st is a Monday the first full week starts on the 7th, which would bring us to the 22nd. But now I think about it, the 15th makes plenty of sense too, and squares with past years. I hope you're right!

Yes let’s hope I am right! Haha! I am getting so antsy.
