Advice & Insight From Nursing Interview Specialists
Those looking to study the RN to MSN program at Yale will need a copy of their CV, as well as three references, unofficial transcripts, an integrated essay, and two short essays in order to apply. Those with a GPA less than 3.0 must sit the GRE and score above the 50th percentile in order to qualify for admission. The University’s nursing school received 615 applicants for its master’s degree program. Only 142 were accepted, which gives Yale one of the lowest acceptance rates in the US for nursing – 23.1%.
Yale interviews for all courses. For Nursing, you should therefore expect an interview whether applying to the MSN stream or a doctorate. From previous applicants, the interview is described as being general in nature and normally relatively short and practical, rather than focusing on specific issues in healthcare – however, Yale outlines that the candidate they look for has a real knowledge of the subject. You should therefore prepare for both eventualities.

For those applying to the MSN course, the primary admissions application deadline is November 1st to March 1st (rolling). Interviews will generally take place in Mid-January. The deadline for financial aid applications is February 7th. Admissions decisions will be sent to students by Late February. No application submitted after March 1st will be considered for the forthcoming fall term.
Per Yale, ‘admission is based upon a number of variables including evidence of motivation, academic ability, personal understanding of and propensity for advanced practice nursing, references, interview, and potential for continued constructive use of the professional education.’
