Accepted Columbia ETP applicants (and current students: some advice). get-together?

[iriska_meller]

:welcome: Hi everyone! I thought it might be a good idea to get our own separate thread for those accepted to Columbia ETP! Sure we have a lot to discuss!

I would also like to invite current students to this topic to share your experiences and answer some questions.

Here is one question that is really bothering me.

I have been working and studying simultaneously for the past 4 years, and to tell the truth I am really tired. Will financial help from Columbia (both scholarship and loans) allow me to only study? In particular, how much money do they give every month for living expenses? If you feel uncomfortable writing about it in public, personal messages are welcome too

Aside from this, - congrats to all those accepted and really looking forward to meeting you! :balloons:

Oh, by the way, I am Women's Health! What about you?

Well I for one have been having a rough go of it.

Hi Art, thanks for posting this.

Fluffhead, I feel what you're saying. I think I'm capable of learning and understanding what's being taught in each class. It's just having them all together and keeping the sheer AMOUNT of work that we need to do organized, doing it all on time, doing all of the book reading, the accessory reading, etc...gah. I'm already having nightmares about the last week of class when we have an exam in EVERY class. How are we going to study for that?! Sigh...I guess just know that we're all going through the same thing.

I'm having trouble identifying the names of the professors, titles of the courses, course control numbers, and which email is from which class. It's all confusing...anyone experiencing the same problem?

Pharmacology was sooo long. They talked so fast to get through all the slides, and nothing really went in my head.
