   Hi LuvNola, I will probably take NJ transit to Penn station (30 min ride) and then the subway uptown. Both trains will allow me to study (or sleep) while driving won't let me do either. We'll see. Looking forward to meeting you and comparing notes...

   Hi operadoula et al, I have 2 girls, 12 and 16. I will probably be one of the older students in the program. We live in NJ and I'll be (gulp!) commuting to Columbia. If some weeks are too intense I may stay with friends or find a very very cheap s...

   I hope to concentrate on acute care with a "minor" in geriatrics or oncology. I never thought it would be a fit for me but I've spent a lot of time volunteering in a huge emergency room and I am consistently drawn to the older patients. We'll see.

   Hello all, I only applied to Columbia. I live in the NY area and it is the best option for me considering the fact that I am not able to move for other schools. If I get in I will likely be one of the "elders" of the class--this is a second career ...
