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 everyone! Congrats to all who got accepted 🙂 I'm in for GEPN-CNM! 

I'm wondering if anyone would feel comfortable sharing the merit- and need-based aid amounts they received? I have no baseline for what's generous or not and am wondering if there is any room to negotiate my offer. For transparency, I was offered $10K/year merit and $4K/year need-based, totaling $42K over the course of the entire program. This definitely helps but I'm still trying to figure out how I'll pay for the rest. Thank you in advance!

I got almost the same: $9K/year merit and $3k/year need-based, totalling $36k 🙂 Congrats!

Anyone applied for Jan 1 deadline and get a decision yet? One more week left and the wait is brutal.

Haven't heard anything yet either. I've been checking my email like every 10 minutes for the last few days

Hi,

I just found out I was accepted to GEPN-PMHNP specialty last night! For transparency, I was offered 9k/yr for merit and 4k/yr for need-based. Thus, I got 39k for the whole 3 years. I am definitely attending, but I need to decide between something like HRSA vs loans. Excited to meet the other admits!

Congratulations!! I will be starting the GEPN-PMHNP next fall as well! I'm excited to meet everyone!

I suppose today is the final day for everyone who applied by Jan 1. Good luck and wish you all the best.

Hi everyone! Is anyone attending accepted students day? LOL does anyone know how we should be dressed?

I'm going! I figured I'd dress a little more casual than business casual (like a nice sweater and black jeans or slacks) 

Is it true that there is not an interview phase? Also, any idea how many of the cohort spaces are for the PMHNP most years? Good luck to those still waiting to hear!

I was admitted to GEPN for Family Medicine 🙂
