Columbia BSN/MSN ETP 2014

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.

Wow, ColumbiauniFNP, thanks so much for your input!

@sweet03nesy - Unless I hear otherwise from CUSON, I will be submitting my FAFSA as soon as possible. Don't worry about the loans prior to acceptance, because loans cannot go into effect without additional paperwork (signed Master Promissory Note, accepting award package, etc.), and funds usually don't get disbursed until classes begin. Also, I imagine only accepted students will receive a fin. aid package. :) The benefit of submitting a FAFSA early on allows ample time for the fin. aid department to create a package and allows you to meet any early deadlines for scholarships/grants. Basically, it gets the ball rolling . If we are rejected, we probably won't get any fin. aid awarded at all. Hope this gibberish makes sense? :)

In case anyone is interested, I am quoting ARickli's helpful post from last year's thread about the ETP acceptance date trend. If we hear back around 2/7 this year...that's just 31 days to go! Fingers crossed!

I don't see a change in my status from "submitted". However, I did contact admissions some time ago, and they assured me that my application was waiting for a decision. So, I wouldn't read too deeply into any changes on the website. But, as droux said, at least there is some discernible activity. :)

Is anyone here an applicant to the Master's portion (non-ETP)?

Love to know your stats, like GRE and BSN GPA, experience, etc.

Also love to hear from any students currently in the Master's portion! I have a lot of questions.

jst to make sure, we didn't have to send official transcripts as long as we uploaded them through the application page right?

is anyone's application saying it is currently awaiting one or more required materials even though everything is received under the checklist?
