Columbia University School of Nursing - Masters Direct Entry (MDE) / DNP 2024

Published

Hello everyone! This thread is for folks applying to Columbia's MDE/DNP program for 2024! Good luck :)!

Today might be the day!  I have a feeling I was provided incorrect information from admissions. I'm a POST/BSN applicant for the DNP program only. They claim we will all find out at the same time as the MDE/DNPs... From previous years threads it seems we find out a couple weeks after the MDE/DNP applicants do, which never made sense considering they already know how many seats they have currently available for the upcoming DNP cycle.  We shall see I guess.

Does anyone know how many seats they typically offer for MDE and Post-BS DNP?

I am also wondering how many seats are offered for the MDE/DNP

Would be helpful if one of the post/BSN applicants called today to confirm, to confirm : that we would be hearing the at the same time the MDE/DNP applicants do.  Thats what I was told yesterday. It did not seem accurate based on previous years. But maybe it's changed? I am not sure of the seats offered for MDE versus the Post BSN DNP seats. I know the MDE is significantly larger.

I called to double check. Apparently post BSN applicants will hear the decision at the same time the MDE students will....

Hi all! Wishing everyone good luck!

Had a quick question- if admissions doesn't send out decisions today- I'm assuming it will wait till next week? Or is it possible they would send decisions out throughout the weekend?

This is what I read on the website. I have not contacted the college directly. But these expenses are 'out of this world'. But they get a lot of applicants. And as an RN you still make the same hourly rate as someone who went to a local BSN program. I guess they are paying more to jump the staff RN job and become an NP DNP. For these prices, become a Physician Assistant (just my opinion)
