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.

i know! i wish it were true!! :D

Hi all,

I'm not sure how I missed this thread during all of my time on AllNurses...but I finally found you all! I applied to the Columbia ETP program for NNP (Rush, and UIC too) and I'm very much on pins and needles. I am currently a dependent but I won't be when (if? eh!!) I enroll at Columbia, but the FAFSA forms keep telling me that I'm a dependent and that I need to give my family's financial info. Any ideas on how to circumvent this?

GOOD LUCK!

The feds are kind of black and white around the whole dependent thing. And financial aid is based on the previous years tax return, so i believe even if you become independent before May, they're going to base your aid package on the 2008 tax info.. Sucks i know! I really got screwed because i started undergrad at 23, and the first year had to use my parents info...i didn't have any luck with fighting them on it, even though i'd been living alone and supporting myself for five years.

Anyway - i hope that's not the case, but i seem to remember being in a similar boat without much success. Hope it turns out better for you! :)

Ugh...mother!

When I took the FAFSA quiz on whether I was a dependent or not they said that I wasn't so it's really confusing....plus, I'm still an undergrad so it's not like I have my tax info at hand with me at school

grrrr

Can you ask your financial aid people at school? I hope it's not the case! I know it "encouraged" me to share info about my parents, but i didn't HAVE too... it wasn't the same for you? They basically said you HAD to share it?

I got an email from Judy Wolfe this morning telling me to send grades for fall semester, but it also said that they're finishing up their last few weeks of reviews and that decisions will be out by the first week in Feb! Ahhhh I can't wait!

Oh I know...has anyone else been checking the status of their application neurotically, hoping that they've made a decision before the first week of February?

Uhhhh...yes! What's so confusing though is that there's no hard and fast deadline for the FAFSA info and I'm fairly sure that they don't send admissions decisions without the financial aid package, so what happens, we just wait until mr. slacker applicant gets his stuff in?

Where are you checking the status of your application? On the apply yourself website? b/c it just says submitted, but will it show the decision once it's been made?

Yes, I don't know if it'll show the decision once it's been made but I've been checking it ever since I got that email to check back periodically. Maybe I'm just hoping it'll be posted sooner rather than later.

I applied last year and it looks like they're still using the same application website. It won't tell you your admission status - you'll have to wait for an actual physical copy of the acceptance letter to come in the mail. Historically, Columbia hasn't been very good at getting those out when they say they will. Best of luck to everyone
