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?
My name is Jeremy Ho and I was in the same position you all were in a year ago. I'm currently in the GEPN program and hopefully I'll be seeing some of you soon. If you guys have any questions you can always pm me.
Hey Jeremy, I'm curious about the interview (hoping I get one). I know it's kind of premature to ask about it, but what is it like? Did the questions that they asked particularly hard and what kind of questions were they? Thanks man!
I was just wondering if anyone talked about potentially working as an RN during the summer or part time for the essay question. I was going to, but decided to leave it out to make room for the responsibilities I hope to hold during the GEPN program. What did everyone else put?
None of us knows if we're in. The next month and a half while waiting to find out if we got an interview is going to be nerve-wracking. But I hope to see everyone from this thread there!
