Vanderbilt University MSN PreSpecialty 2024

Updated:   Published

Hi! I wanted to create a thread for those applying to Vanderbilt University MSN via PreSpecialty Entry! I heard we will hear back before the holiday's if you apply in time for priority review. What speciality did you apply to?

Does anyone know around when the next round will be announced??

Hi all, 

I was accepted to the pre-specialty/Women's Health Gender Related specialty program and the commit/deposit deadline is March 15th so I'm guessing it will be shortly after that. 

Best of luck!

Who is attending admitted student day this Saturday 3/2/24? Looking forward to mtg others. I got accepted to the direct entry prespecialty dual Midwifery and FNP program. Finishing up undergrad in May. Turning down Yale FNP, Emory MN to MSN FNP, UVA CNL, Johns Hopkins FNP, and Duke BSN program. Hope I am making a good choice, but this program is literally my mental vision board, and I plan to commit after this weekend if all goes well.  

Others asked about GPA, etc. in prior posts, I have a 3.94 GPA, and while still an undergrad student I managed to obtain two yrs of experience working in my CON sim lab, and two years in research in AI in medicine. I took several honors classes and volunteered A LOT! I will be graduating Summa Cum Laude with additional departmental honor, and a member of Psi Chi honors society, amongst other things. I am sharing this not to make anyone else feel badly or insecure, but to reflect the effort I put in to preparing myself for this pathway. I understand this was a very competitively strong cohort. Don't feel badly if you did not get in. There are many other pathways to pursuing your dream or find ways to get more experience or increase GPA and try again.

Im not attending the students admitting day, since I live out of state. Which is a bummer, but I have to save up for this upcoming Fall. I will be starting the NNP program. Super excited!!

I applied in Feb since the application was still open.  I feel like it may be a long shot, but I still wanted to give it a try.  I am wondering when the next round of decisions will be made.  Has anyone heard anything?

I also applied in Feb! Hoping we'll find out soon. I've been in contact with Cheryl and she said mid-April at the latest.
