Hello nurses!
I was was hoping to find others who also applied for the MSN program at Yale School of Nursing this year.
I have 3 years of nursing experience under my belt, 1 year at Hartford Hospital and 2 years at Brigham and Women's Hospital. I went to Northeastern University and had an average GPA. I did alright on the GREs. I spent a lot of time on my essay and hope that the school sees why I want to return to school.
The deadline for the MSN program was Nov 1. I submitted mine on Oct 31. I didn't get a confirmation email from the school if they received all the parts to my application. I know it's soon but I'm really anxious. Just looking to see if there are other applicants out there that can commiserate with me or if anyone has any insight about my chances of getting in! It's also frustrating that any information I find online is about the GEPN program. Even the information session I attended seemed like it was really geared to non-nurses applying to the GEPN program. When I asked, I was told that there is a mix of RNs and non RNs but when shuffling through allnurses, it seems like there are way more spots for non RNs.
I heard from another program that wants deposit by March 28th. It is my second choice, but probably more manageable and WAY more affordable. Would be nice to hear from Yale, I submitted by app by the original due dat 11/1/18. Tired of waiting at this point and trying to just assume it will be a rejection, LOL

Just got mine for PMHNP. Denied. Glad, in a way, because I got in to Vanderbilt and UPENN and they are both shorter and less expensive. It would have been HARD to turn Yale down. I will be attending UPENN's program. For those who get in: Congratulations! For those who do not: I am sure, especially after knowing that this was the result I NEEDED (and maybe did and didn't want at the same time), that we always end up where we are SUPPOSE to be.

I feel EXACTLY the same! The only part I am regretting is that I wasted time & money on the process. I would like to have the money spent on GRE & the app back as well as the time i put into studying for the GRE & writing my essay... but I digress. I was highly encouraged to apply by someone at Yale SON. Anyhoo, congrats to whomever got in, my second choice fits my life better in almost every way, so it feels like fate, Best wishes!

Exactly! (about the life style thing)
Where are you going to go, btw? Will I see you at UPENN?

lol, no. Yale was my only "big school" and frankly, I only applied because of a contact. I am doing an online program in Massachusetts called Mass College of Pharmacy and health Sciences. Much easier to work my 2 jobs and still complete. My son thought about UPENN for a while when he graduated high school. awesome place to be, I hope you enjoy and good luck!
