Hey guys,

I got an email from Columbia saying they were reviewing the application and to check for things online. When I went to look at it it said the "Prerequisites completed or in progress: Received (Not Official)". Anyone have any idea what this means? It's frustrating that they refuse to answer any emails or phone calls about application!

Charmed J7,

I am in the process of having them track down some reference letters I mailed a month ago which have as yet to be added to my profile.
I emailed Jose Villa directly and he responded within the same afternoon.

I emailed him, so I'm hoping he replies with what the heck that means. No one else's pre-reqs say "Prerequisites completed or in progress: Received (Not Official)"? It just boggles my mind because I can't imagine what they would want, other than submitting my transcripts (which are both received and official) and filling out that online page was there another step? Did anyone do anything other than fill out the online forms and have GREs and transcripts mailed in?

Hey all!

I'm new to the forum. I, too, am applying to Columbia ETP for the psych specialty and am currently finishing up the prerequisites. Columbia is one of my top choices, but I am hesitant because of all the mixed responses to the program (but I am sure every program has its pros and cons). What is everyone specializing? Where else are you all applying to? Anyone from Boston? Good luck to you all!!!

Counting the days... I applied to ANP. I was watching the segment on the SON website, the Dean mentioned they had 50% increased in applicants this year. Makes my bp goes up Happy Holidays and hang in there everyone!

CharmedJ7 don't worry my application says the same thing, but that's only because I am currently still completing the prerequisites. I think it means that they already received the transcripts, but it's not official because there are some classes missing. Is that the same for you? If not, it could mean something else.

I am finishing up my prerequisites too. Really, they are done I just need to wait for the last grade to be updated so I can send them my updated transcript.
I am applying for ANP and I wanted to do their minor in HIV/AIDS care.
I am hesitant too because of everything I had heard, but then it was the same way with the other schools I applied to.
I also applied to UC San Francisco, Yale (rejected already), and Johns Hopkins.

What segment are you talking about? I'd be interested in knowing what the admission statistics are for my specialty (FNP).
Also, thanks jcarranz, I actually did end up emailing Jose and he told me the same thing - that's a relief! (Funny though how they said they wouldn't respond to emails given how fast he responded!)

Good luck everyone!

Jose has been a miracle through the whole application process. He was always very helpful and quick to respond to emails. Out of the 4 schools I applied to Columbia was the best for getting back to me quickly when I had questions.
