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!
Make sure you answered all of the questions. There are dozens of people who are trying to add themselves but have not been accepted or even applied to the program.
I did. I still haven’t been added. My name is Shinelle Kaiya on FB.

Hi Shinelle, I just added you. You didn't answer the specialty question and given the amount of spam requests, I usually assume if someone cannot list their specialty that it isn't a valid request.

I recall attending a GEPN session in which the facilitator mentioned that sometimes students do the GEPN portion, then take time to be an RN, and go back to finish the Masters portion. Does anyone know more about this?
Anybody direct entry as an RN into the nurse midwifery specialty? We have to be on campus in the week of July 15th. Hoping to connect with anyone starting the nurse midwifery specialty year this fall!

Yes, some students do do this. Not encourage but it has been done in the past.
How does everyone plan on paying for school? The cost of the school is really dissuading me. Although I will apply for scholarships. ? Did anyone get a good amount of scholarship offer from Yale? I only got $11,000 for the first year.

I think taking out the loan is an option and that’s what I am going to do. I only got $3500 merit scholarships for my first year and received no need based scholarships. I believe all other programs (with good reputation) have similar price tag. But It will be a good investment because of the quality of education and the salary you will make as a NP.
