Columbia MDE 2022

Published

I know the application hasn't opened yet, but wondering if there was anyone else thinking of applying to Columbia MDE/DNP programs for June 2022 entry?

I don't remember doing a timed writing portion... what was this?

I believe this was before the video essay.

I was actually the most nervous for the timed writing portion, but it turned out to be fine to me! Before I hit start I was soooo anxious

I have been communicating back and forth with the Student Affairs Coordinator and she sent me an email today about decisions:

"We are currently in the final stages of the review process. We anticipate that decisions will be released as anticipated in February. Please be sure to check your email periodically as we will be sending decisions via email."

Figured I would share it with you all as well! ?

Did anyone else do terribly on the timed writing portion of the application? I got really nervous and barely wrote anything.. I really hope it won’t affect my chances too much

I wrote like a solid one paragraph for the timed written portion. I was definitely super anxious while doing it because you literally only have one shot and you can't really proofread it or make changes since you want to say as much as you can in the time allotted. I think overall my timed written essay was "okay" but I doubt they are basing your final decision off of that one assessment, unless you just totally left it blank LOL.

Thanks for the Info!  I hope that’s not the case. They always say that… every year …read all the older threads… people always ask and they say “they anticipate February “ .   Of course this may be the year they actually tell us in February ? with my luck. Haha

I wouldn’t say I did terribly but I didn’t finish my last sentence, was scrambling and left out the final word. There were so many elements to our application that I can’t imagine just the timed writing portion would totally tank your chances!

I really hope so! I’m sure not finishing your last sentence won’t do anything as long as you got all your message across. Timed writing was the only part that I’m not feeling confident in so I hope they view everything holistically. Fingers crossed!

I took a screen shot right before time ran out and realized I had 3 typos ??‍♂️

I can honestly say I can’t even remember the prompt let alone how I did on the essay! ??

I had one typo… it definitely wasn’t the most amazing paragraph I’ve ever written LOL The prompt was about my favorite hobby and I chose cooking.
