Waiting on a letter from Yale(GEPN) and Columbia(ETP)???

[lovingpecola]

Hello fellow hopefuls!! I was just wondering if any of you are waiting on a interview letter for Yale's Fall 2006 GEPN Program or Columbia's Summer ETP program???

The waiting is unbearable!

I am also waiting for Vanderbilt's letter, too, but I don't expect that one until next year some time...

Also, anyone who has been recently accepted or turned down for these programs (last year) can you please shed some light on when you received notification?????

THANKS!!!!!!!

Hi again. Definitely consider the fact of the BSN carefully. I know I've been hating on Columbia, very publicly, but I'm so glad I'll have a BSN in May. You just never know where life will take you, and a real degree is nice to have.

:roll :balloons: :beercuphe :beer: :cheers: :smiley_aa :w00t:

can you tell that i am happy for you??

are you sure that sharon doesn't mind us all calling her??

[lovingpecola]

:rotfl: i'm in! i'm in! i'm in! i'm in!:rotfl:

yep, i called her...she didn't mind at all...she said she was "happy i called" so i would say that she really doesn't mind you calling to check!

good luck krystellmarie!

congrats!!!!!!!!!!

good luck krystelllmarie!!!!!!!

[lovingpecola]

congratulations bics!!!!

(and thanks!)

she asked me if i was coming and i said "absolutely" just as simple as that. i guess i just decided. i think i had already decided, but was nervous that i wouldn't get in and so i was trying not to get my hopes up...

[krystellmarie]

nope - i wasn't accepted to yale... waitlisted!! i am honestly not upset, though, because it makes my decision to go to columbia a whole lot easier!! :)

i knew that my interview was horrible - no "shadowing" experience, as my interviewer kept saying!!

sharon justified it by saying that the fnp track is always very difficult...

congrats bics and lovingpecola - but i hope you choose columbia (just being selfish)!!

[lovingpecola]

Well krystellmarie, you were leaning more toward Columbia anyway!

I am loving the smiley you chose of the finger waving! LOL

I'm pretty sure I'm headed to YSN...it's all so surreal to me actually. I didn't find out about Columbia until last night and now today, Yale. What a 24 hours I've had.

What a last few months we've all had!!!!!!

[krystellmarie]

I hope that we all keep in touch and update each other about our experiences!! We can start a new thread!!

Also, I will still be coming to the area to visit my friends and you will have a place to stay in NYC!!

Lovingpecola - what are you going to do about the financial aid situations and Yale??

[bics]

sweet!!!!!!!!!

i didn't want to invite myself to your soon to be penthouse in nyc but if you're puttin' it out there!

we will definitely start a new thread and track all of our new experiences!!!

this is so crazy and yes, surreal...........but totally awesome!!!!

:cheers: :biere:

Ah yes. The money, the money, the money. I will have it. Sacrifices. I don't qualify for private loans, so I will really be coming up with it myself. My husband and I have planned for this moment as much as we could...
