Columbia ETP 2016

[SBCvixen]

Hello!

I know this is a bit early, but I'm planning to apply to the apply to the Columbia Entry to Practice Program (among a few others) this fall. I've seen similar forums for past application periods, and thought it might be nice to get one started so we can start to bounce ideas and questions off each other.

Has anyone been to an open house? Any information worth sharing?

Will you be attending their open house? I'm going this Wednesday.

[RT_2b_NP]

I will not be able to. I live in Dallas. Do you mind sharing any info you recieve?

[Athena926]

Of course. Is there anything in particular that you want to ask?

[RT_2b_NP]

I wonder how many people apply vs those accepted.

Hey, this is embarrassing but I got the date mixed up it was not last Wednesday but this Wednesday so I just got back from the open house. So Columbia receives about 700 applications and they accepts 200 of them. And they really place a lot of weight on your personal statements.

Thanks a lot. Have you started/submitted your application? I want to write the essays and hopefully turn it in by weekend.

Did you find out about the personal statements from the information sessions? I've been fretting over my lower undergraduate GPA, due to a lot of unforeseen circumstances, but I think I make up for that in everything else that I bring to the table. Especially since my undergraduate years are a decade removed!

Hi everyone! I am thinking about applying to the Columbia MDE/DNP program. I was wondering how I stack up. My GPA is a 3.2, Prereq: 3.5 GRE 300. This may be a dumb question, but does being a male help me in anyway? Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated. Good luck everyone!
