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'm feeling a little behind the ball that I have not sought out any Scholarships yet. Is anyone else feeling uneasy about leaving the Scholarship portion of the YSN financial form blank?
Most of the scholarship opportunities don't open till later in the year. So you really shouldn't feel uneasy as there could be enough time to start applying.
Last year I was on the wait list so I applied again this year and have my fingers crossed!! Last year we received the decisions between 5pm-7pm at night I think, but last year they told us it would be after 5pm. I hope it’s sooner this year!!!
I've been pretty anxious the past few weeks and now I'm at the point of "accepting a denial" just to cope easier. However, I'm starting to lose my marbles over here with the time frame.... could be 8am, could be 5-7pm, could be 2 more days. Tortureeeeeeee, haha! I'm glad whenever I see everyone post just to pass the time and bounce ideas/previous experiences off of. Hopefully we'll all have our answers in less than 12 hours.

Yea, I hope we find out tomorrow morning because I don’t think I can take any more delays. Praying for some good news though.
