Yale 2015

hakhama · Jan 29, 2015

Hey, I'm also applying as an RN. Currently in my senior year of BSN school. I need to make sure my recommenders send in their recommendations yet. The whole process is nerve-wracking but I like the emails letting us know the timeframe for decisions already. The program seems very organized.

They are super organized and a pleasure to deal with.

Does anyone else have any tips about the interview?
I'd also love to hear any I info you learned that made YSN stand out to you!
(I'm applying as an RN so our interviews aren't until later)
Thanks!

I don't know what the RN day will be like. The GEPN day was jam-packed full of info sessions. They're very clever, I already liked Yale but now I'm completely in love with the program. I took a LOT of notes. They were informative and genuinely helpful. I love that faculty are engaged in interesting research and work with the other programs at Yale to further their educational model. They just do a great job of marketing themselves to prospective students.

Finished my phone interview! The interviewer was very nice, and I felt like I probably asked more questions than she did, haha.

Hope I didn't say anything stupid though...

Finished my phone interview today! Whew! Although I always leave interviews second guessing everything that just came out of my mouth. It's going to feel like a long wait until we hear back!

Don't worry about the interviews. They aren't (at least mine wasn't) anything you can really prepare for. Mine was literally just a conversation. It was extremely informal. Read over your personal statement and try and relax and have fun.

I sent that financial aid pdf to someone really late on Friday but I'm not sure if anyone received it... and no one picked up the phone today. It's definitely my fault for doing this so last minute. How do we know if Yale received the document and the FAFSA stuff? I only finished them barely before the weekend started

They said at the info session that as long as your stuff is postmarked by the 1st you are okay and that if you want to know if they have everything you can call or email them. Hope that helps. :)

I'm not sure how we can confirm Yale received their forms - I only mailed out the hard copy on Wednesday or Thursday. FAFSA will send you an email when the forms are all processed. I'm surprised MP didn't address it in today's email. Maybe they'll do it like they did for the applications - an email if they haven't received the paperwork?

I believe they said at the info session that there were certain days of the week the financial aid officers were at another campus. I spoke with a woman last Tuesday to confirm my application was received. I would try calling the office again tomorrow or later this week.

Thanks for the helpful responses! :) I didn't send a hard copy because I kinda didn't know about this until a week before and put this off until after my phone interview- my fault!

I called someone on Friday and asked if I could email and he said yes, so I just emailed the pdf.

Guilty, don't feel bad. I brought my hard copy with me on Friday and handed it in at the info session. There were people there who didn't know it was due and one of the Financial Aid people had to go and get copies of it to hand out in the session for people to fill out right there. You are definitely not alone.
