Columbia BSN/MSN ETP 2014

Nursing Students School Programs

Published

I was surprised that there didn't seem to be a thread for this year's applicants to Columbia's ETP program. So I thought I would start one. The information session was today, but I wasn't able to go. :( I was hoping someone else went and would be able to post any admission statistics or tips for the personal statement they gave.

ariahralingarts is totally correct. DNP is the new national education standard for NPs as of 2016. This years Columbia ETP class is the last masters level NP class. Even though we were admitted to the master's program, we've all been "strongly encouraged" to complete the DNP. Google it and read about the shift to DNP, it's everywhere now.

Any update from the waitlist?

Hi all, I am new to this site! I am thinking about applying to this program next year. Would anyone who was accepted to the ETP program for FNP be willing to post about their stats? I have not been able to find any good information regarding what they look for in an applicant so I can determine where I stand! GPA, science GPA, work experience, GRE, anything at all!

Thanks so much!

Hello everyone, wondering if you could share the credentials you had for Columbia's nursing program. I would really appreciate it.

I really hope tomorrow is the *day*.

Just an FYI, Columbia does not allow students to defer unless circumstances are military related. Columbia accepts a massive number of students and many choose to go elsewhere because of cost/location/etc. I was accepted last year and I remember being really surprised at how many students were at accepted students day. Unfortunately, due to mostly financial reasons, I couldn't attend and had to reapply for the 2014 cohort. Last year I had applied for deferment, but it was denied.

Anyways, I have great friends in the program and have heard only positive things from Columbia's students. Good luck everyone!

Did you ever get to reapply?

Did anyone get in who still needed to complete some pre reqs? Your response is greatly appreciated =) Sincerely, super nervous prospect.
