Yale GEPN 2018

Nursing Students School Programs

Published

Hey everyone! Now that applications have been out for a while, has anyone started the process of applying for the Yale GEPN program? I hope that your applications are going well if you have! Also, if there are any current GEPN students that happen across this thread, if you have time, feel free to share your experiences in the program and any tips you may have :) Thanks!

Hi all!

I am currently applying to Yale this cycle as a PMHNP. I am a little unsure as to whether they are requesting ONE comprehensive for that long list of questions, and then TWO supplements, or all of that in a single essay. Admissions seems to be super inconsistent. Also, are any of you having trouble getting your Statement of Purpose down to 400-600 words?! Any feedback is appreciated!

Hi aprnstudent2018, I emailed Sandra with the same question. It is the one integrated essay for the first 3 questions followed by the 2 short answers (in the same document, but separate from the essay). And yes, I'm struggling with being concise as well. I'm sure we'll manage! Good luck!

Hello,

I am currently working on the application as well. I had a 3.3 cum gpa and my gre scores were 159V 161q and 5.0. I have been working with children diagnosed with ASD for the past 2.5 years and have a little bit of volunteer experience in a hospital setting. I am a bit nervous about my prospects. If I write a stellar essay, what would my chances be of getting into this program?

It depends if you think it will help your chances.. I know that sounds a bit vague.. honestly, don't stress too much about the GRE! There are so many other things on your plate right now. I'm sure you did just fine :) Yale is really big on who you are as a person, and how you can benefit the field of nursing. Crush the essay, and you'll be fine :)

Hi everyone!! Best of luck to all, it's submission day :) I'm so glad there was finally a thread made for this cycle as I relied so much on previous years threads to learn more in depth about the GEPN program. What specialties has everyone here applied for? I applied in adult/gerontology primary care.

Hi all!

I too am applying to the GEPN program (women's health/ midwifery specialty).

I was just wondering if anyone knows when we may hear about interviews?

Thanks so much!

Looks like from previous years, the notification for interviews goes out between Dec 15th and 20th and interviews happen in Jan and Feb of the following year. Hope that helps!
