Columbia University-ETP

They told me they take the GPA from your institution. This could mean they take the GPA only from your graduating school, or it could mean they take the GPA from all your institutions and average them. Either way my GPA improves, so that is worth something.

Science grades are looked at, but not calculated as a GPA. It sounds like more of a "Look at pre-reqs, are they A or B? Good! Next step..." kind of thing to me.

They tell me 50-60 applicants for 8-10 spots. Unsure on the breakdown of these applicants and spots (are some just for nurses for instance?) but a 1:6 ratio, while tough, isn't the end of the world.

Good luck everyone. I'll be applying for 2011.

ps. sorry it took so long to get back... I was having posting issues here at allnurses.
