I have been on the lookout for the 2020 thread but figured that I'll have to create one. I am sorry if there is one that I am not aware of.
I am a 2020 hopeful that is looking to make a career switch. I was at one of the information sessions where I gained further insights on the application process and the program. I took the GRE yesterday and was around the 50th percentile for both Q&V.
One of the changes to this years' requirements is that you don't need the GRE if you already have a masters degree or would complete one before the start of the 2020 session. I haven't taken the major prerequisites, but I will take and complete them in the summer of 2020.
I will start talking to my recommenders from next week, I have a tentative list that I composed with a view of having them tell different stories about my candidacy.
May I crave the indulgence of both current and past GEPNs and the benevolence of prospective class of 2020 to make this thread the best one yet. Your views and insights are welcome and appreciated!
I am glad to have found this thread, and huge CONGRATULATIONS to you all! I am interviewing for the psych track. I hate to sound like I'm already anxious about the next step - but I'm already anxious about the next step.
Are there any current GEPN students, or potential students, that have any idea of how significant getting an interview is, how many people they usually have interviews with, let in, etc? I am so excited, and then of course, worried I am getting too excited!
Congrats everyone! I was invited to interview for FNP. Emily, you are not alone - I am already anxious about the next step. I'm trying to enjoy the glory of making it this far.
Overall, the historic admission rate is around 23%. If you are invited to interview it goes up to between 40-50% depending on the number of applicants, how large they are making the GEPN Class of 2020, and the number of RN-MSNs that are invited to join the program. For the Class of 2019, they reduced the number of places across all the specialties, so it was more competitive for the current cohort that was just admitted.

I spent all last night reading through old threads (and am now exhausted), but I did find this from the 2018 cohort:
“Reading the old posts (specifically the 2015 thread), the breakdown is as follows (current GEPNs following this thread please chime in if I got anything wrong since this was from 2 years ago but it still gives us a rough estimate):
Number of Applications - between 400-500
Number of People Interviewed - 200 (50 for Midwifery, 50 for FNP, 30 for PMHNP, and between 20 and 25 for the others (PNP, AG, Acute))
Number of People Admitted from the 200 above - Between 130-140 people (there are some that will turn down admission to attend another university which is why the numbers are larger then the final cohort)
Final Cohort Size (approx) - between 90 - 100”
But if anyone has more up to date insight, I’m also curious to know!
