Yale GEPN 2017

Published

Hi everyone! Now that applications are starting to open for this cycle I thought I would start a thread. Is there anyone else that is starting the Yale GEPN application? If so, are you as overwhelmed as I am? Also, if there are any current GEPN students that see this thread, feel free to share any tips or your current experiences :) Thank you!

Jaysh106, I definitely thought the essay portion was the most difficult part...I ended up trying to get all of the pertinent info in there to answer the questions, and then read it over and realized I sounded like a robot. I'd say I was up to 9-10 full revisions by the end! It just took time but I was so pleased with it when I finished! My only advice is to simply start without worrying about guidelines and to get all of your thoughts on the (virtual) page. Best of luck!

Hi everyone! I'm also applying to the GEPN for the CNM/WHNP specialty. Currently trying to motivate myself to write my essay. I have a lot of what I hope is good experience and, of course, tons to say about why I want to be a midwife, but when I sit down to actually put it on paper, my mind goes blank...

Finally submitted the app and trying to keep busy until decisions! I know the email should be coming out soon, but I heard they notify us with interview decisions in December, does anyone know if that is true? That doesn't seem like too bad of wait...

Hello! Does anyone know what is the "Additional Upload" meant for? It is the 2nd to last section of the application. I was thinking it was some part to give people a chance to explain bad grades or stuff like that?

I too am wondering what the Additional Upload section is for as well. Does anyone know?

I think it is supposed to be for any explanations for any aspects of your application. Ex. if you have lower GPA or GRE scores or fired from a job, etc. Anything you want to add to you application that there is no space for. Except for the things they mentioned you should not upload (awards, honors, additions to the personal statement, letters of recommendation, etc.)

Hey GEPN2016! Thanks so much for reaching out here to all of us hopefuls...I have SO many questions, but I'll limit it for now:

-What was your undergraduate major?

-How prepared do you feel you were for the program?

-Whats your concentration?! How are you liking it?!

Thanks so much!

Hello GEPN2016!

I was wondering if you will share your stats with us (GPA, GRE Scores, etc) so we can measure the competitiveness. Thanks
