UPDATE: Changes: New Log In Requirement

Did a search and haven't seen this thread yet. Thought I would get it going! Submitted my application November 4th and now just waiting to hear back.

Nope. No one here has heard back.

Does anyone know if they do traditional, non-video interviews for non CRNA applicants?

I would probably reach out to admissions and ask.

According to the site, decisions will be released January.  In my emails, though, they said reviews can take on average between 4 to 6 weeks, though I imagine it doesn't include the latter weeks of this month due to holiday season.  My biggest question though is whether there will be traditional interviews like those who applied to the CRNA programs have been undergoing for BS-DNP, MS-DNP and/or MDE.

Where on the website is January mentioned?

It's on the main page for the application. However, a prior emails indicated that priority deadline decisions would receive a response within 4-6 weeks.

The legend SamIAm26 beat me to it haha.  And if the priority deadline applicants are supposed to get an admissions decision early January, then I suppose that means the 4-6 weeks review period includes the holiday break weeks.

I like being referred to as "the legend" hahaha (though the more apt description was the neurotic SamIAm26 who has scoured every inch of that page for a hint on when decisions may be released 😂)

I'm thinking Friday. (Based on absolutely nothing but a sheer hope for a holiday present from Columbia 😆)

I just had a thought. Do you think they might be waiting to see how many total people are applying before they release any decisions? To see how many spots they have to offer? In which case, it would make sense for decisions to start coming out this week as regular deadline is tonight.

I went to their virtual info session, I think they offer 200 seats into the program right? for overall MDE program not MDE/DNP though

Yes - I heard this @ the info session too.

This would actually make a ton of sense! 

I hope Friday really is the day we all hear. I've been on edge since 11/17 and would like to get some sleep LOL

Does anyone know what date people started hearing back last year? For most schools I'm applying to, it's the Thursday/Friday before Christmas.
