[rls2018]

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!

I really am impressed of the quality of education you are getting from Yale but the steep price tag is keeping me from applying. Any advice? There is a similar entry level nursing masters program at Arizona and it's full ride.

It can be so hard deciding on schools. Cost is a huge consideration and I have to say Yale's financial aid wasn't as generous as I had hoped it would be, at least for me. Outside of cost, I think you need to see which program is a better fit for you. I was so impressed with the faculty, students and program culture at Yale during my interview that they rose to the top of my list. Another bit of wisdom someone on faculty shared with me is that when you're looking at schools what you want to consider is their NCLEX pass rates and attrition rate. This can be an excellent tool to understand the value of a program. Schools with high pass rates and low attrition rates should be your strongest candidates but obviously we all need to also consider program cost, moving expenses/cost of living in the area, degree of interest, faculty to student ratio, etc.
