Yale GEPN Fall 2010

U.S.A. Connecticut

Published

Okay, I know it's early, but Yale is my first choice, and I'm already terrified that I'm going to screw it up. My goal is New England (although I'm also applying to Pace because they have this Science Summer thing for those of us who haven't taken anatomy yet), and I want to be a Gerontological Nurse Practitioner.

I eventually want to either have a mobile clinic for poorer older folks who can't afford more traditional options or who are home-bound, or make home-calls in some other way.

I think Yale will help me get there, but I don't think I'll get in. I have a lower GPA (but still above a 3.0) from UC Santa Cruz, and I spent the last two years teaching in Taiwan, only to find out I don't like teaching very much. I'm taking my GREs in three weeks and I'm starting some prereqs this summer.

I'm also applying to Simmons, Pace, Northeastern, MGH and Boston College.

Before I ramble on any longer, anyone else applying?

I too got an interview for FNP but no specific date or time. Good luck to those who are still waiting to hear. If you didn't get an interview, I know University of Hawaii is still accepting applications until the 2nd of January. Congratulations to those of you got an interview :)

Yay! I got an email right before the end of the day saying that I would also have an interview, but no definite date or time yet. I'm so excited!

Congrats to everyone who got in!

Hi All,

Got my interview invitation to Yale this AM- I'm applying to the FNP track. I also applied to UW-Seattle, UVM, and University of Southern Maine. Anybody else applying to or heard from any of those schools?

Hi OOOLADOULA

How was the interview...................

I am contemplating a major career change and am nervous about it. I know I shall not have much support but still am seriously considering. Lets see. I got a reject from Yale so a little bummed about it.

I think it went ok, a little nervous but it followed the general outline of the application in respect to questions they asked. I think they just wanted to see how clearly and concisely you could answer questions and what your interpersonal skills are like. It's a huge career change for me too. Good luck, we should all hear something by the end of the month!

I haven't seen any, I searched high and low... I guess maybe we should start one and not bug the Yale folks :)
