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've been looking at the thread for a while and finally decided to get a username! i was accepted into the gepn program for midwifery and verrrry excited about it! javabean, i don't think there is any sort of facebook group created yet, but i think it would be a great idea to make one, especially for posting messages once it comes time for people to start looking for roommates, etc.
looking forward to meeting all of you in the fall! :)
A couple questions for those who got into the midwifery program. Did any of you have doula experience? What about your own birth experiences- did you use midwives? Lastly, are any of you certified as LLL leaders or childbirth educators or anything like that? I'm wondering what kinds of experiences both a)led you to midwifery and b) what a CNM student at Yale "look like" in terms of birth philosophy.
Is there a facebook group to join for Yale GEPN 2013?
I just checked and Student Affairs will be starting a FB group after the desposit deadline. They send out an email with a bunch of info at the beginning of April and the details will be inside.
