Columbia University-ETP

Published

Hey everyone. I was just wondering who applied to Columbia University's ETP program.

I got an email today telling me to keep logging into the website where I applied to check on the status of my application. Has anyone else got this email? And does anyone know approximately when they begin to post decisions?

I'm nervous as this was my #2 school.

Specializes in Nurse-midwifery.

Congrats to all! I got in "again" also. I got the same letter from Oscar about financial aid, though I submitted my FAFSA on time. Columbia is the first school I've been accepted to, but I have 3 more graduate entry programs that I haven't heard from yet. So, we'll see! The possibility of living in NYC makes me both excited and nervous. Also, my husband will need to find a new job, which is somewhat concerning given the current job market. But, as someone said earlier, celebrating tonight and worrying later!

Congratulations, everyone!!

I was accepted for PNP, and will be there on Visitor's Day. Let's start a roll call! Woooo!!! I'm so excited! :D :D

ZooGirl,

I'll be moving from SF to NY, but couldn't be happier. PM me if you want to chat about concerns/doubts..

congrats everyone! i just found this thread today, and see i was definitely not alone in being a total stress case these last few days. i got in for psych.

as a new york city transplant (originally from southern cali) i just wanted to tell you guys not to be too nervous about moving here. i moved here four years ago for school and can't quite seem to leave. :) i didn't know a soul and had absolutely no idea how to get around the city. you learn really fast how to adjust to crazy city life, and it's a helluva lot of fun, so just focus on being excited!

you certainly won't be alone in this endeavor and it seems like the school really tries to help connect people for housing. housing is one thing that's VERY important since there's a multitude of neighborhoods, some good, some bad.

best wishes to you all!

Congratulations everyone!

I must say that I am frustrated that I didn't get an email, which seems to mean that I didn't get in.

Judy said the emails would be out tomorrow. It might mean only the people who got the "mistake" email then got the corrected email? Don't give up yet!!

Hey, gang,

I also got the slew of emails today, but luckily missed out on all the bipolar emotions because I was at work the whole time.

Did come home to a lovely (tearful, shaky) acceptance letter though! Congratulations to all!

Assuming I pass my remaining classes, I'll be dual midwifery and women's health with you two, megandan & aspiring.midwife, if you both decide to enroll. I look forward to meeting you! I'm definitely going to Columbia, unless something totally unforeseen happens.

Good luck tomorrow to those who weren't part of this mixed-up day! I'm at the very start of the alphabet, so I'm wondering if maybe that had something to do with it, too? They caught the mistake early?

Anyone got accepted to the Nurse Anesthesia or Acute Care Nursing track?

oh my god, i just realized i have MAJOR problem. The program starts on May 27, but I still have to finish Anatomy and Micro and my classes don't finish until the first week of June. What should I do? Does anyone know of any schools in the LA or surrounding areas that I can still enrol in those classes that will be done before the end of May? Ahhhh I can't let this hold me back from going!

You should try looking here: http://www.son.rochester.edu/son/current-students/courses/alpha-index-page

I notice they have some "Fast Track" online courses that you can complete at your own pace. I think that at this point, online courses are probably your best option. I was going to suggest UCLA Extension (that's where I took all of my prereq's), but winter session started last month and spring session starts too late.

Good luck to you!! You'll figure something out, I'm sure. :idea:

nursing here I come!

(now that there are decisions...has anyone heard anything about the shift from NP to DNP? Does this mean that our degree would be useless or not as valuable)

but excitement all around!!

Congrats future classmates!

I'd talk to my professors about taking the exams early. You're only talking about a week or two different, and I'm sure you could learn the info on your own, pass the exam, and have grades posted officially by the 27th. Or maybe you can take the last week and the exam from a distance? Columbia might be a little flexible about when they receive the official transcript, as long as you're in NY by the right day.
