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 got that email today too! To say that I've been checking my email every 5 minutes is an overstatement; it's more like every minute! No focusing for me today haha
Ditto! I can't get any work done and keep refreshing my email . . . has anyone heard yet? Do you think they're going through alphabetically? Maybe sending acceptances first?
I've been a lurker for awhile but finally decided to come out of anonymity. I'm in for Adult/Geriatric NP! Woohoo! Did anyone here interview on the 21st? Congrats to all that got in! :)
