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.
As @Soon2BMidwife eloquently said, virtual hugs, warmth and light to everyone regardless of decision. I understand the hodgepodge of emotions one may feel if you got any decisions outside of a yes. I was denied from every single school I applied to last year and just got denied from a school I got the interview stage with twice Friday. I definitely agree that J will walk through everything with you about the application in detail. You can tell she really cares and wants you to succeed. I called a few other schools last year that made me feel so bad about my application, my imposter syndrome got worse and I definitely did not apply to those schools again. I know that walkthrough doesn't take away whatever you may feel or it doesn't change the fact that you may have to figure out what you're doing for the next year (if you were not accepted somewhere else, if so, congrats!). I'll repeat what I said with the interviews. Everyone is awesome, worthy, and capable.
I got accepted to the AGACNP track and so excited! I refrained from creating an account during the process because it honestly gave me anxiety. Everyone here seems so nice and eager- looking forward to meeting you all and beginning this exciting journey! Congrats to all who got accepted!
Congrats all! Even to those that did not get the news they had hoped for. The process was not easy, but you still made it through. You're all meant to do great things.
A previous GEPN made a suggestion last year and that was for you to make a facebook group. That way you can all connect a little better and get the guidance of upperclasspeople. It's very helpful in keeping organized, especially when onboarding starts in a few months.
You should all be very proud.
Hugs and thoughts to those who didn't get a yes.
Not making it last cycle was horrible for my imposter syndrome, but in retrospect, what I did in the meantime will be very helpful in my life, and as a clinician!
And, as everyone said, do reach out to Jana. I wish I had not waited until the month before the deadline to do so and marinated in my own resentful, sad and frosty juices for so long. It was really good to hear what she thought were my strong points and how to frame others (or improve on them!)

I had to unfollow the past couple days because I was getting too anxious! Acceped for PMNHP!! yall, when I tell you tears welled up. I made so many major decisions (moving, job, etc) in my life based off faith. I literally woke up and unlocked my phone the minute it came in. I also pinched myself to make sure I wasn't dreaming as I've had dreams about today as well. I'm looking forward to meeting all of you! Congratulations to everyone!
