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.
As with you guys, I got a “We regret to inform you...” letter. It stings quite a bit, but I guess that’s why it’s called a “selective” school. My numbers weren’t stellar but I had assumed them competitive:
BSN grade average of 3.7 from a decent state school. GRE was 167v 159q and 4aw. 2years as a RN and 12years doing mental healthcare including some executive experience. My interview could have gone better *shrug*
Who knows what they were looking for, hopefully they find it.
Does anybody know the RN-MSN path at Yale require a BSN degree? I cannot find this piece of information anywhere on their admission site.
Also, I don't think the full time with this high cost of tuition is doable for me. Anybody does part time?
Second thought:
I like Yale MSN IN NP is because their curriculum seems to be more in depth than many others and their board of passing rate is pretty high. But given the cost of tuition(3 times more than one of in-state NP programs),I'm thinking whether it is really worth it to put so much money into the program when we know the pay as an NP is not going to be very much of difference no matter which school you graduate. But I do think as a Yale graduate it may be easier to land a job after graduation.
