Question about ordering scrubs - do these get shipped to our home address, or do we pick them up from the book store during orientation?

GuiltyLove · Mar 17, 2015

I thought we would pick up them during orientation, but now I forgot... It would make more sense to me to pick them up though

The lady at the bookstore said pickup at bookstore.

Does anyone know what brand of scrubs they are? I didn't get a chance to try them on during visiting day and I heard they run a little big.

Hi! How long does it tke to receive a Columbia student ID number (UNI?) once the deposit has been paid? Can anyone who's already paid the deposit recall?

I think its after the deadline to send in the deposit (march 23rd). If I remember correctly they said you get it in April.

Do any current students know what is the point of reading these two books? 1. Reading: Fadiman, A. 1998. The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down. Farrar, Straus and Giroux: New York. ISBN: 0-3745-2564-1

2. Reading: Craig, Gloria P. Clinical Calculations Made Easy, Fifth Edition. ISBN/ISSN: 9781608317905. Chapters 1-3. (This reading must be completed prior to beginning summer courses.)

The ETP Accepted Students page is up and I am just wondering about that.

How do we purchase Typhon?

The ETP program director wants us to read the first book because it gives us a look into the world of medicine and what it did for this particular child. The second book is the medical dosage text book and they want us to come in knowing what is in chapters 1-3 so we're not playing catch-up when class begins.

Hi everyone! Did the deposit deadline pass for accepted ETP students?

Does anyone know if we still have to submit official transcripts and GRE forms? I thought we uploaded our unofficial forms into the application and then would have had to submit official forms IF admitted, though I haven't received any information on if/when we should do that. Anyone know?

My general approach to all of this is: one thing at a time. We have such a massive endeavor on our hands, especially those relocating. Columbia has been very good about laying out what they need from us with plenty of notice. I haven't seen any information regarding transcripts since the initial application period and there was definitely no mention during Visiting Day. Keep working on the approaching deadlines. Worst case scenario, we're told to provide official transcripts and have to place orders.

I don't mean to be flippant. I'm just seeing a lot of worry across the facebook group and want to encourage folks to not make themselves overwhelmed by jumping too far ahead. I feel confident that Columbia is setting us up to succeed.
