   RT_2b_NP: It's been a whirlwind, but it's really rewarding so far. First semester was by far the hardest I've ever gone through, and it takes a lot of motivation and you need to be prepared to have absolutely zero free time. Think: not even able to g...

   RT_2b_NP: Honestly, I wouldn't be concerned. The GRE is the last thing they look at, it really doesn't have much to do with nursing, it's just another hurdle to get through to be able to apply to grad school. I didn't do great on my GRE either, but d...

   I know you asked about people who got in, but just to give you an idea I'll give you my info: UCSF was my top choice, closely followed by Columbia. I had a 3.6 GPA, 3.8 pre-req GPA, have worked as a tech at 2 hospitals (one psych, one neurological r...

   v.lam827 I feel you there. Totally freaking out, especially because I heard we only get 25k in federal loans (or something along those lines) so the rest has to be private loans I don't have any debt from undergrad, so I'm sure I can deal with it, b...

   I'm debating on-campus housing mainly because of the proximity to campus (I want to be able to walk) and it's generally cheaper. Plus, I've never been to NYC so I have no idea what the areas are like! I figure the campus housing is flooded with stude...

9. Columbia ETP 2016

   emara9 replied to SBCvixen's topic in School Programs

   I spoke to an NP I used to work for about her opinions and experience as far as MSN NP's and DNP NP's, because I wanted to know if it's worth the extra education and thought I'd share the information she gave me for those on the fence about continuin...

    FutureNPisMe, after getting into Columbia, I was INSANELY stressed about having to decide between UCSF and Columbia, even though I hadn't even gotten into UCSF yet. I didn't really see Columbia as feasible, it's hard to think you'd actually get into ...

    Wow! The universe just made my decision for me it looks like... I was rejected from UCSF, so I guess Columbia it is :)

    fpjc and sml14, great to know. I really don't even think I'm going to bother with them then. I've gotten into Columbia and MGH at this point, I don't see the point in wasting my time trying to get them to communicate. Just wish I hadn't even wasted t...

    Wow. Did anyone else apply to Seattle U? I just got an email asking me to interview in four days.... and I live across the country. Talk about unorganized. I'm going to have to tell them I can't interview I suppose, but I'm not too bent out of shape ...
