Columbia University ETP 2011

Published

Thought it'd be a good idea to start a thread for prospective applicants to Columbia's ETP program starting Summer 2011. I was going to apply last year but passed on it in favor of working for another year.

Applications are due November 15, 2010! :eek: Right around the corner ...

Anyone else preparing for this also? :clown:

I just got the e-mail that I got in too (Psych/Mental Health)! It's 8 am here in CA and I probably just woke all my friends and family up by texting or calling them with the news :p. I also am unsure about whether I will be accepting - waiting to hear back from 2 other schools - but I am planning on going to the "Visit Day" they mentioned in the email since I've never seen the campus. Anyone else going? I guess we should start looking into financial aid now :eek: !

Congrats to those who got in. I didnt make it. Those who got in, can you post what your GPA is so I can have an idea of what GPA Columbia takes? Thanks.

Hi Hexum-

I am sorry to hear that, but keep your head up. There are many other great programs! My undergrad GPA was 3.7, and my GPA for the science prerequisites was 4.0. I hope you find this helpful.

Did anyone notice that they made a mistake on the decision letter with the years? Mine says that I'm waitlisted for the 2010 class. AH!

Ha ha...probably just a copy and paste error....:)

Hey Tanya! Congratulations! Not sure if you got my email back about Yale, but I look forward to meeting you on March 4th. I'm looking forward to learning more about their psych program -- you heard anything new?

Any other psych people accepted out there?

I just noticed that too! I have also been placed on the wait-list. Hopefully we both make it in! From what I read from previous years there is a large turn-over rate at Columbia because of the cost, so hopefully are chances are good. I am just nervous now because I need to file Fafsa, but don't know if I should put Columbia on the application or not..ahh stressful.. I want to go to Columbia more than anything so I am hoping the wait-list works out! :)

Congratulations to everyone who got accepted!!! I did not. I'm not even waitlisted!! Ouch. I thought I had a pretty competitive application - high GRE scores, 4.0 prereqs, bilingual, Ivy League B.A., etc. Oh well.

I have to believe it's for the best. I hope you all enjoy your studies at Columbia SON.

I am not sure if I am accepting my offer. I am trying to decide between a few schools. I will definitely be going to the accepted students day though to hopefully learn more about the program. I was accepted into the Pediatric Nurse Practitioner Program with an oncology concentration. Is anyone else in the Peds speciality?

I got accepted as well! Congratulations to every else who did! For those who didn't don't give up hope! Wait-listers, just keep your fingers crossed, now-a-days financials play a big part in who can and cannot attend. My stats were,

undergrad GPA: 3.2

last 60 credits: 3.65

pre-reqs: 4.0

GRE: 1310

I also have dual licensure as an EMT in NY and MA as well as 3 years as a biochem lab assistant.

Hope this helps!
