Yale GEPN 2023

Yea weird I didn't even receive an email with YSN Admitted Student Day either nor "Now that you're a Yale admit"

fngioino · Feb 6, 2023

The only email they've sent (that I've recieved) is the Admitted one with just general info about next steps and how to proceed and what information they will be released in the future, including the official invitation for admitted students day. I got it yesterday afternoon, maybe check your spam ?? IDK why you didn't get it though, I'm sorry!

Are you RN-MSN?? I'm GEPN so that may be why you haven't recieved the email!

Congrats to all who are admitted and keep pushing to those who aren't!

Any suggestions on where to live near the campus? How is the MSN schedule looks like? Thank you!!

I'm not super sure about the specifics of the MSN schedule but could speak to the GEPN schedule. The nursing school campus is on Yale's west campus adjacent to New Haven (technically in Orange CT)

MOST students find housing in New Haven closer to main campus and either drive, carpool or take the free Yale shuttle. The benefit to being on the West Campus (in my opinion) is that it's right off the turnpike and has dedicated free, security monitored parking.
A lot of students live in East Rock neighborhoods- some do and some don't drive.

I hope that helps!

They should also have some info and tips on living etc during admitted students day :)

Hi!!

What is your first-year life like? I heard that it is very intense. Do you have any free time on weekends ( like time to travel to BOS or NYC)? Thank you in advance!

Hey! I think it really depends on your other commitments and study habits. For me (someone without kiddos or work during the first semester) I felt like I could go and enjoy a weekend away until mid September when things started to get moving. During the first semester I was definitely studying every day and weekends were good for maybe an outing for a few hours but mostly that was a good chunk of study time for me.
Spring semester is definitely lighter and more balanced.
Some students have weekend clinical placements so that may be a consideration too ?

Does anyone know if we will be notified if we did not receive the community scholars scholarship, or just if we DO get it?

I think most likely you will only be notified if you receive the scholarship. Best of luck!

has anyone gotten feedback about prereqs? I'm not sure if one of my classes is counting and I'm wondering if they'll reach out

I think you will have to reach out to them to confirm if the class counts. What class are you concerned about?

my school offers anatomy and phys as separate courses and only anatomy had a lab. so I'm assuming I'll have to retake it. I also took animal physiology WITH a lab so I'm not sure what will count LOL!
