Columbia ETP Program 2012 entry

Published

Hi,

I plan on applying for the anesthesia program at Columbia and I wanted to know how the background of those that have been accepted look like to see if I'm even competitive enough apply.

Thanks!

I also applied last year and was placed on the wait-list. They ended up not taking anyone from the wait-list because almost 95 % of students accepted their offer, so I decided to wait another year and apply again. When I spoke with admissions they said to make sure you highlight what you have done to better yourself and application for the past year. They also said by applying again and having bettered yourself shows them your determination and desire to attend CUSON. So, all-in-all, I agree with chula5008, it may give your application some brownie points. Anywho, good luck and hopefully everything works out!!!

Thank you both for the information! I admire you both for trying again and hope to be in the same class when we all get in. :)

The closer we get to mid-December, the less sleep I get every night...

Do you guys think school will be as hard as all this waiting? :p

Good luck to everyone, and happy holidays!! :snowman:

Did anyone else get a random form email from Columbia today with the subject "Columbia School of Nursing Request Received", with generic content thanking me for my interest in CUSON??

Gah! Why do they do that? Made my heart jump when I saw the email in my inbox!

Yeah, I got that too. I think I must just be on some random mailing list of theirs for people who attended info sessions or something. Sigh.

I was speaking to someone in admissions for us who applied Regular Decision and they are STILL sifting through applicant materials matching up GRE Scores, transcripts, and sending out notices to fix your profile if it didn't match their records. I had to update a few things for everything to reflect my school records (no biggie) but hopefully they begin to actually review soon.

I applied last yr too and was waitlisted. While I was not told an exact formula for getting in, I was told that the fact that I had completed my bs since that time, I now am an IBCLC, and I could try retaking the gre's. But again, I was given the whole thing that the while picture is what they look at. Sigh. One more week and I'll either be as depressed as I was last feb, or I'll be on cloud nine. For anyone who applied last yr, was their early admission? I can't reminder it being an option but idk, I was only 3/5 though my backus program at that point....

My luck hadn't been so great this mnth, my dad died last week very unexpectedly so I could really use some good news.

I got one of those scary e-mails too. Applying to CUSON is not for the faint of heart.

I just got another "thanks for your interest" email too! I nearly jumped out of my seat. I am growing more and more excited as mid December approaches, and I can barely contain myself! Good luck to all the other Early Decision applicants.

Gahh! No scary emails here. The ED decision will be sent via email, yes?

I'm applying regular decision and I just got an email that said all of my application materials have been updated/received and will be forwarded on for review. Good luck to those applying ED! Decisions for you all should be coming out soon :)
