Yale University Graduate Entry Pre-Specialty in Nursing (GEPN) 2025

Published

Hello, 

I don't think there is a thread for Yale GEPN applicants for Fall 2025 start, so here it is! Let's share knowledge and cheer each other on⭐! Also, if there is an existing thread, please let me know.

I want to submit my application soon, but I keep re-reading and editing my essays... Anyone else doing the same thing? I have been out of school for almost 10 years, and I'm getting flashbacks to high school/undergrad days!

Additionally, has anyone sent a transcript via Parchment? My transcript should have been received by Oct 21, but on NursingCAS, it says it hasn't received. 

Thanks, and I look forward to communicating with you all!

HI! 
 

I'm not a GEPN applicant but submitted a RN-MSN application for the WHNP 2025 fall program. I did use parchment for one of my transcripts, it took them a while to be verified unlike the National clearinghouse which was much quicker. So all my transcripts has been received by Nursingcas.

Hi, I'm an RN-MSN applicant for CNM! I did Parchment for both of my transcripts. One was really fast, and the other took about 8-10 days. 

I finished writing my app in August since I am currently in nursing school and have an intense job at my local hospital. I knew I couldn't manage working on my application on top of everything else. I had to just force myself to call it done and leave it alone!

Hi Kat12340 and AstralMae 😄 

Wow, WHNP and CNM! I just had my baby last December, and I have so much respect for women's health providers. I'm personally applying for PACNP, very excited.

And about transcript: I see, I will follow up with the admissions team and see if they received it. I don't know if it has to be verified by Nov 1st to be considered for scholarship.

Hi Kitty,

Congrats on your little one! I believe the application needs to be complete, not necessarily verified by the deadline. Fingers crossed that they'll receive it soon!

I'm applying to GEPN-CNM/WHNP and I've also been out of school for almost 10 years! I'm finding the character limits to be extremely limiting. I'm also applying to OHSU and they allowed for a LOT more writing space...

Hi Liz,

Yes, I agree... I wish they gave a bit more characters as well. 

I finally gave in and submitted my application, haha. Nervous!

Hope we hear back positive news by end of December 🙂

It says on their website that you just need all of your information completed such as application, transcripts, and references but it doesn't need to be verified by Nov 1st. Mines is yet to be verified as well.

I agree! I was writing a whole novel by time I paste it into the prompt box to find out I'm over character 😭

Hello!

I submitted my application yesterday for GEPN-AGPCNP. I also found myself editing a bunch of times and reading it aloud multiple times to make sure it sounds right and that it makes sense. So, I think it's perfectly normal that we edit and re-edit haha.

In terms of Parchment, I believe it takes a few days to be received and processed by NursingCAS. 

Good luck to all of us!

Hi 123! 

Congrats on submitting your application! I'm glad we are all in similar boats regarding the constant editing... hahaha

My transcript came in and application was finally verified on Monday, 11/4 ('complete' around 10/29-30). 

Regarding Community Scholars scholarship program, if our application was in and "complete" (not verified) by 11/1, we should still be eligible, right? I've reached out to the Yale team, but haven't heard back. 

Also - is everyone else's application status page blank? 

Thank you!

Hi Yeonsu,

You should be okay! As long as your app was in by 11/1 and fully complete, it does not need to be verified at that time to qualify for the community scholars program (just complete).

Hi! The community scholarship application is open and closes on the 8th unless they extend. I would definitely reach out to office admissions about that as soon as possible. Also my Yale's application portal is also blank, so no worries on that haha
