Yale GEPN 2019

Published

Like midwifery students of past years, I as well have fallen in love with Yale's GEPN Midwifery program. This question is about the personal statement.

Ive been told that this is the most important part of the application, and that it should tell your story. This was said by Dr. Korevec during the informational, so I'm fairly confident in knowing that's what they want. It should explain why Yale and why nursing. However, whenever someone proofreads my personal statement, they know I'm applying to Yale and say it reads too much like a story and not like a college application essay. It's happened like 3 times and now I'm not sure what to do. Any advice?

thanks!

Guys, I'm literally shaking! I have an interview for November 16!!

Ah ok. I had to wait until my GRE score was finalized so I became complete recently. If you don't mind what are your stats?

Congratulations!!! Out of curiosity, is it an in-person interview or a phone interview?

Congrats on your Interview.

Okay, so they're doing interviews differently this year it seems, which I guess is fitting because everything about this cycle hasn't been like previous ones. They're using Zoom to conduct the interviews. Your decision letter will give you a date and time, as well as who is interviewing you. It also says that you will be emailed a link to Zoom for the interview.

So instead of doing basically an admitted students day with the interview days, they're using a video chat system to conduct interviews.

What about In-Person interviews?

The letter says all GEPN interviews are going to be done through Zoom

I applied by Oct 1 deadline and I am interviewing on Dec 5!!!!!!
