Hi AN fellows!

I know it is super early to start such a thread but I was hopping to connect with potential applicants/classmates for Columbia SON MDE 2018 program!

If you are applying to Columbia SON for summer 2018, let's share our experiences, ideas, thoughts and such!

Looking forward to hearing from some of you!

Nope. I was told we were suppose to get them last week. Haha, guess they're slacking.

Hey Ladies & Gents

My name is Yash, and I too applied to Columbia MDE 2018 program. Super excited about this journey, praying all goes well. I definitely did terrible in my undergrad in the low 2's but that waaaaay back in 2010. Did my pre reqs, then also got my MPA at Long Island University recently in May 2017 so i definitely waived the GRE exam. I put in alot of work from 2010 to now, so hope all goes well. Even the admissions director Jose Villa told me my masters hold more weight than my bachelors. So if anyone is in my same boat with a masters, there is a great chance at getting accepted.

Waiting for any type of feedback. So far I received an email days after submitting that my application will be sent to be reviewed. That is always a positive.

PS I love this thread, been following since it started.

Hey Yash my friend was in your position during his application process. He went to like three or four colleges and the first three has a really low GPA. Then finally when he got his four year degree he graduated with like a 3.9 at that institute. He wrote a fierce personal statement and explained how much he mature from his earlier years of college until his last few years. And he got accepted into Columbias DNP/MDE program.

I think it's great how they look at the applicants file holistically!

Does anyone know if Columbia holds interviews?

Hi, the video essay serves in place of an interview. It gives admissions a chance to see you and your passion.

Does anyone know (from a current student or info meeting) whether decisions will be made before December or close after? I'm wondering whether sending in Fall grades will have an impact.

Decisions are made the first week of February.

Yup. I know. Just wondering if Columbia takes Fall grades into consideration. I know schools, such as Vanderbilt, do not. Anything after the application deadline doesn't count.
