What Members Are Saying (AI-Generated Summary)

Members are discussing the admissions process, including deadlines, reference requirements, and decision timelines. Some members have received updates on their applications, while others are still waiting. There is also a mention of financial aid workshops and strategies for financing the program.

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!

Nope, but they said "end of March" so I am assuming it will be in the next week or so. I'll update here either way. 🙂 Best of luck!

Hi! The admissions counselor told me to expect a decision mid-late March and that they like to send decisions out on Fridays! Hope this helps! 

So...if they are giving out decisions on Fridays, tomorrow is the last day? Or just Monday. 
 

Panicking

Did anyone learn anything at the financial aid workshop/what are people strategies for loans, scholarships, and more generally financing the program? Do most programs give merit?

I check the application status page, there's an update, but I didn't get any email. So I think if you are still waiting, you can try to check the status page to see if there's an update. (Did not open the update yet, very very very nervous RN

I haven't received any updates at all... 😩 

Did you end up checking your status?

I received an update and was rejected. I don't regret opening it right away, just time to make another plan. Best of luck!

Did they mention in their letter why you were not accepted? Wishing you the best of luck with your other applications. 🙏🏼
