There didn't seem to be a main thread for applicants to Yale's GEPN program this year, so I thought I'd get one started. I'm applying for the midwifery specialty and am currently working on my application essays, having done everything else.
Is anyone else really struggling with the main essay? I've finished my apps to two other programs and was happy with how those essays came out, but Yale's essay guidelines as so restrictive that I feel like my essay is turning out all disjointed. The fact that we have to answer every aspect of every question in *exactly the order they list* (this is apparently something that you need to take very seriously) means that I'm having to tie myself in knots. I want it to be not only informative about me as an applicant but also a good piece of writing - and I feel like the essay format is making this kind of difficult.
After so many years of wondering and planning, it feels strange to finally say to myself, "Tomorrow is the day." I'll be thinking of all of you tonight!
I am really struggling with the jitters! sweaty palms and all! swamped at work but not enough to keep my mind from wandering back to our news! less than 24 hours...
Good luck, everyone! This will be a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong night. :uhoh21: I hope to hear good news from all of you tomorrow...perhaps bright and early if we're lucky.
so weird....I posted ages ago but, along with a load of others, that post seems to have been lost....Oh well, I am glad to be back on and have been kinda surreptitiously monitoring goings on in this forum. But now I feel like I surely MUST, MUST join because I am in, in, in. Feels nice. Big congrats to my brothers and sisters in crime! I would love to get to know the other peeps matriculating into WH specialty.....are you out there? Oh....and I suspect, like last time....these emails are being released in 'lots'. Likely there will be more in in-boxes tomorrow, don't you think? My heart is in my belly for the rest of you who have yet to hear......just sit tight. And put down that cigarette/whiskey/tub of ice-cream would you!!! ......been there.....done that. It only gets you smelly/drunk/fat.
I read the first line of that email and all the feeling left my fingertips, it's not even fully back some 40 minutes later. I can't believe this, had to have my coworker come read the email to convince myself this really was real. So who's gonna make/find out about the facebook page - I want to meet everybody!
I also got the acceptance letter for CNM - I'm not totally sold on the program, though. For all those for who this your 1st choice - what are your reasons? (not meaning to rain on the parade here, congrats to all!)
