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?

Finally submitted everything! Be sure to look over your completed application in the review link just to make sure it all looks correct. Good luck, friends!

Good luck! My manager should be submitting his reference tonight. It has been making me nervous since I have long submitted my application (I know this is a pre specialty group but I applied for direct entry... you guys are more responsive hahaha). My other recommenders submitted too. I should have had a back up but he has been my manager for two+ years and seen my work ethic! 
 

Cheers to Vandy! This is the only AGPC program I applied to.

Relieved it's all in, but at the same time grappling with the fact that it'll be radio silence until we hear the decisions in February (they don't do interviews, right?!)

I know... it is going to drive me crazy during this waiting period. There is no interview.

I've been wondering too; perhaps due to Covid it will be less competitive.

Yeah. I wish I knew exactly what they are looking for to decide if you are accepted waitlisted or rejected.

Happy to have people to wait with! I am SO nervous, but I know I gave it my very best and was open and honest in my responses.

I know y’all are pre-specialty but these stats gave me some hope, seeing how many are bachelor (other) or BSN admits to the MSN programs. Or ADN if you fit in that group.

Hi everyone! Does anyone know how about how many pre-specialty students they accept in comparison to students with backgrounds in nursing? It’s making me nervous thinking there are only possibly a few spots ...  I have no clue if that’s true but it’s my fear haha. Any insight would be super helpful ☺️

For AG-ACNP, they accepted 19 PreSpecialty students last year vs. direct entry students out of the 50-60 total students they accept for that specialty.
