Yale GEPN Applicants 2011

So can we assume it didn't include financial aid award information, which is the reason they said letters were being sent out later than in past years???
Aaahhh, I feel like pulling out my hair, I'm so anxious! And being in CA doesn't help...

It said that financial aid info would come in two weeks!

Wow, Cambridge and NYC didn't hear today. I really hope those letters start moving faster... I keep telling friends, etc "probably tomorrow". I feel like I've been very patient, but if it's not in tomorrow I might have to get a post uniform and go undercover.

Waitlisted . I guess thats better than nothing and I'll keep my hopes up and send out some prayers until Columbia has to know on the 21st.

I had applied for the Psych Family program and was waitlisted for that program. But I did let the admissions committee know (and just reminded them through email tonight) that I do have an interest in the adult track since I've recently started working with adult psych patients. Maybe a spot will open up or they'll reconsider me for the adult track. Good luck to the rest of you!

Oh, and if anyone could let me know when Yale would like those of you who have been admitted to respond by I'd appreciate it. Just so I have an idea. Thanks!

CONGRATS!!! Hopefully WilliamsRower and I will be joining you in the psych cohort! Did you apply for family or adult? Are there certain populations/disorders you would like to work with? I have been working in psychiatric research with patients diagnosed with schizophrenia for the past 5 years and am hoping to stay focused on this population.
So excited to meet all of you in September!
P.S. Is it weird that I've been wearing the Yale sweatshirt I bought during my interview EVERY DAY this week (don't worry I washed it ) at work to channel good energy - even as we speak...or type?! Haha.

Excited to meet you too! I applied for family, but as for a specific population? The short answer is that I want to work with issues relating to obesity. Schizophrenia sounds like a fascinating yet challenging focus!

Accepts/rejects are due by March 21st.

This includes a $600 deposit as well, sigh.

I have been bananas all day after getting my sweet, sweet letter of joy and happiness...Couldn't calm down so I went for a 5.5 mile jog. That wasn't good enough, so I then walked up and down my quarter mile street (with a beast of a hill) five times. It's now 10 minutes midnight (EC) and I still can't seem to chill out. Maybe instead of becoming a Psych NP, I should seek the help of a psych NP?

On another note, I am so excited to hear more and more as everyone gets their letters! I also have to say that the opening line in the acceptance letter mentions that there was a truly exceptional pool of applicants this year, and I couldn't agree more. Honestly, throughout my interview day, I was quite intimidated to hear of all the fabulous things everyone around me had/was doing in their lives. I am honored and humbled to be among all of you; and I look forward to crossing paths with those of you who do not attend Yale, down the line in our brilliant careers as NPs!!!

Hopefully tomorrow will be the day! Although I have a strong feeling that us california folk will have to wait until fri...or next week. Does mail come on sat? LOL congrats to all those that heard today! Hopefully I will be able to join you all!

good luck to everyone who is waiting still waiting to hear!

dorshee · Mar 3, 2011

Yep, mail comes on Saturday.

WilliamsRower · Mar 3, 2011

Good luccccck to everyone who is still waiting. I'm at home right now and I think I may go check the mail. Sure, it's only 10:30, but you can never be sure, right?

haha - it is a little past 12 pm here and I have checked the mail 3 times already. My dad called to say hi, I told him about my mail checking and he said, "dont give your obsession an identity" - haha what does he mean???
