Is anyone else in constant anxious stomach pain waiting? I havent been this nervous for something since my undergrad decisions

somehow I'm more at ease, but I think it's because I've already heard back from two other programs that I've applied to! of course, I think I'll be sitting on edge once I receive an email about any updates in the portal! fingers crossed everyone and I hope you will all receive the results you want!!

I just looked through my emails, and it looks like my decision was released on 2/1, and financial aid info arrived shortly after. I asked for more aid on 2/16, and they replied on the decision date (which was 2/22). 
 

For anyone looking to apply to DE programs this year, I recommend treating it more like medical school than nursing school. Research the programs, apply broadly, and know that ultimately, these programs should want you as much as you want to go! Accumulate as many admissions options as you can (and that you can afford to apply to). You'd be surprised how far down wait lists go, and how flexible a program can be for aid. 

This is really valuable information. Thank you so much.

Same here. Having already accepted one offer makes it slightly less stressful in the event things don't work out with Yale.

Yes, yes I am?. Especially these last few days, the closer it gets the more agonizing the wait.

I am also likely going to go to a different school if I do not get substantial merit aid or the community scholars scholarship. STILL, I am just so ready to have a decision made so I can fully get excited for whatever school I decide. 

I remember hearing that we would find out about the community scholarship in our letter of admission; can anyone verify this?

There were only a total of 5 of the Community Scholars, right?

I'm not really planning on that, given how few there are. I'd be satisfied if their merit offer at least matched the ones I received with my other acceptances.

For those who got waitlisted last year, do they tell you what spot you are on the waitlist? So nervous for tomorrow. Every minute feels like it's an hour!

Doubt they give waitlist order but it would be cool if they did. Would love to hear from others about it too!

Hey,

Long time lurker, first time poster

I applied and interviewed this year for GEPN/FNP.  Not to create too much chaos, but my interviewer told me that the university wants to have decisions out by 2/1, but my interviewer also cautioned that decisions might go out as late as the end of the first week of February depending on how things go.  Not sure if anyone else heard something similar.  Also, I attended an info session pretty close to the original application deadline and they said admission decisions would go out between early and mid February.

IDK, but I do hope we hear tomorrow.  Goodluck everyone
