Hi there! Just wanted to get to know each other some more and kind of see what everyone's plans were.
Just curious to see:
Where all did you apply for NP school?
Which school is your first choice and why?
What speciality? (FNP, PMHNP, ACNP, AGNP, etc)?
What was your GPA, GRE, and how much/what type of experience did you have?
Have you heard back from any school(s) yet?
What semester are you looking to start?
Online or on campus?
Here are my answers:
UNC Chapel Hill, UNC Charlotte, UNC Wilmington, University of Alabama. Debating applying to Duke, Vanderbilt, & NYU (I will apply to those once I get acceptance/rejection letters from the first 4, just because they are all so expensive, they would be my last choices).
Chapel Hill is my first choice now - it's distinguished but still a state school so it's affordable. I currently live in Charlotte, NC, so I wouldn't be moving so far I would be leaving my family completely. Alabama is my 2nd choice. Their program would be amazing because it combines the FNP & PMHNP and it's all online, which would be fantastic.
I've applied to FNP and PMHNP programs. I have a background in psychiatric emergency department and also pulmonary progressive telemetry. I would be so happy with either route, and honestly I couldn't decide myself. So I figured whatever program I got into would ultimately make the decisions for me.
I have a 3.76 overall GPA with a 3.9 in nursing. My GRE wasn't outstanding, I scored a 152 on verbal, 162 on quantitative, and 4.0 on writing. I have 2 years experience.
Not heard back anything yet. Most deadlines just hit, so I'm thinking by mid-April I should know something.
UNC Charlotte starts in the summer, but all other programs are Fall 2014.
I would honestly prefer an online curriculum, but the only online only is Alabama. The rest are combined into on-campus and distance education.
Ashleigh, let us know tomorrow!!! I had to pay my enrollment deposit by today at 5 so they could offer spots to others. Hopefully that's the case for you.
micurn223- did you accept? Hear anything from western?
Stormy- I did accept UNCW. It'll be the best one for me anyways since my husband is trying to go to CRNA school and we'll have to move to where he goes.
Specializes in ICU, PICC Nurse, Nursing Supervisor.
Applied to Texas tech.....3.8 under grad & 4.0 grad GPA, Alumni ( did RN to BSN there), average recommendations and I guess OK personal statement.....I just don't have high hopes knowing how hard it is to get accepted.....but I'll just sit it out and hopefully I'll get some news this week..if I don't get in at tech I'll apply at UTA......
I got my acceptance email from Texas Tech yesterday! It is actually my second choice so I'm still waiting to hear from my first choice. But either way I will be starting FNP school in the Fall! I'm super excited.
I have applied to Texas Tech (second choice) and TAMUCC (first choice). Got accepted to Tech and must accept/deny by May22nd. Won't know about TAMUCC until early June. Does anyone know if I can accept the Tech admission and then withdraw at a later date? Are there any penalties?
Ashley- congrats!!! That's an awesome program. I found out too late that they were re offering the masters program for this fall and wasn't able to apply there (I would have had to retake stats).

Geez! Can they add any more suspense??
Good luck! I went to high school in Wilmington and my parents are still there. Great town.
