Columbia University CRNA 2015

prospectcrna · Dec 14, 2014

I haven't heard anything. They said end of December to the beginning of January. I suppose they would know the accepted ones before that. Has anyone got a response yet?

I think they said the admissions committee would be meeting the week after their last of interviews, which were last week. I'm guessing they're meeting now (cross your fingers!), and we'll find out in the next week or two. Hopefully sooner rather than later. Good luck!

I got in!!! :up:

Did anyone else hear from them…

Congrats, prospect. Out of curiosity what were your stats ie. experience, gpa and gre? I was not selected for admission and want to know how to improve my application for next year.

prospectcrna · Dec 27, 2014

Dgee, so sorry to hear.

I have 1.5 years ccu experience, plus I work per diem at another icu. On a several committees: ebola, skin care, pt education. Ccrn. GPA 3.82. Nursing was my 2nd bs, and a ms in public health.

I al so was a health inspector in the army for several years. And I volunteer a lot including medical missions.

Don't beat urself up, there were other schools that rejected me. Columbia was my first choice and I put all of my effort in my application. I started my essay almost a year out.

Best of luck

Thank you for your reply prospect. It sounds like you have solid grades and a lot of extracurriculars. I wish you well in the program. I might apply again next year. I will apply to penn and Jefferson.

prospectcrna, i also got in! :D anxiously awaiting to hear about our schedule and stuff... it starts so soon!!

prospectcrna · Mar 9, 2015

Yaaay! Congrats umgrad. Im so anxious too, I use the calendar on the website to get an idea of holidays/breaks. I was told we won't get the schedule until orientation day. Are you already living in the NYC area?

umdgrad · Mar 9, 2015

ahh its driving me crazy not knowing the schedule! i know they follow the academic calendar for the first year, but i was mostly wondering if there is a break at all before we start clinical 2nd year and if we get any breaks or vacation 2nd year. probably not haha... but no i live in philly right now! what about you?

prospectcrna · Mar 9, 2015

Ok, ye I don't know about the breaks. Im concerned about how many or what days of the week our classes will be held. I live in ny, but long island. In the process of apt huntingâ€¦hate it. Lolâ€¦

umdgrad · Mar 9, 2015

i tried to message you, but i guess im not able to? yeah i haven't really started apartment hunting yet! i looked briefly a month or so ago and everywhere i contacted said i was way too early...

prospectcrna · Mar 9, 2015

i don't understand how you're not able to pm meâ€¦I did start looking earlier and got the same responses so I postponed it until now and its so stressful, perhaps because its a huge downsize for me.
