Yale GEPN 2021

Published

Hey all! I am reapplying and wanted to create this for everyone applying. I won't be as involved as I was last year, but good luck to everyone! I know they're having seminars and allowing people to schedule one on one consultations for applications.

Does anyone know if the email will say “Congrats” or “Unfortunately...” or if it will direct us to our app for a “status update?”

@ChemGirl713 Most likely an email to check a status update.

Just in case today is THE day, best of luck to everyone!

After years of reading, I finally made an account to tell everyone to check their portals, but I was too late ? 

I just got accepted for GEPN NM, and I wanted to share that this was my third time applying--the first time I was rejected after an interview, and the second time I was waitlisted after an interview. There were three years between my first and second applications, and I had done all that they recommended and MORE to improve my application. When I saw that I was waitlisted, I was mostly confused--I didn't even consider that there could be an option besides rejection and acceptance! I wanted to be gracious and happy for those that got in, but it hurt a lot to read everyone else posting about their acceptances. Many fewer people commented on their non-acceptance decisions (including me both times!). But each time I didn't get in, after initially being heartbroken, I had incredible professional opportunities that opened up. I am going to be SUCH a better clinician because of all the experiences I've had since the first time I applied in 2016. Also, this was the first time that I considered multiple schools beyond Yale (even though it was my top choice) and felt that I would be at peace regardless of the decision. I just wanted to put my story out there in case it helps anyone struggling with a less exciting decision today.

Some quick unsolicited advice if you didn't get in but might want to reapply (also potentially helpful even if you don't want to reapply): reach out to Jana. She will do a THOROUGH walk-through of your application with advice. It doesn't have to be immediate--I did a call with her eight months after I was wait-listed. But it can be so helpful and validating to hear your strengths (which is 100% going to be the focus if you made it far enough to get an interview) as well as helpful to hear insider-suggestions. 

Sending hugs to everyone on this thread today! Thank you for keeping me sane ever since 2016 <3
