Direct Entry MSN 2020 at Columbia University

Updated:   Published

Hello Everyone, The applications for June 2020 at Columbia University has now opened. I haven't seen any new threads for this year so I wanted to start one. I am in the process of applying and half way done! References already sent their recommendations!! and an upside to this year is that Columbia University is no longer requiring the GRE. SO I am pretty happy about that!!

Good Luck!

Does anyone have an idea of what the itinerary for Visiting Day looks like?

Sending positive vibes and good luck to those on the waitlist!

Do we have an idea about when the Scholarships/ financial aid will be available? So far I’ve received the $40,000 seamless Scholarship & know they haven’t announced all the scholarships yet.

Hi there! I also was accepted into the MDE program was curious about the financial aid packages as well. Is the Seamless scholarship awarded from Columbia? That is awesome, congratulations!

Does anyone know when the scholarships are to be released?

Yes, this seamless scholarship was awarded by Columbia. It is awarded with assumption that I will begin the DNP portion right after the MDE portion.

I applied for MDE/DNP but only got into the MDE. Will I still be eligible for the seamless Scholarship if I apply again internally a few months into the MDE program?

Yes, I believe so. As long as you go straight into the DNP program right after the MDE.

Hey there! Of course. I graduated with a b.s. in health education last year with a cumulative gpa of 3.8 and prereq gpa around 3.5 from sfsu. I volunteered at a children’s hospital for 2 years, got my CNA certificate, and spent some time volunteering in a medical brigade in Honduras. I also had 2 research internships at UCSF which were a few months long, and am currently working as a chiropractic assistant. I honestly think what got me in was being vulnerable during my video interview & personal statement and talking about my upbringing/family which was difficult but was the reason I chose pediatric nursing. I had an article published during my undergrad too which I think really helped. I ended up panicking and screwed up on the timed writing portion of the application which shows they truly do take a holistic approach. I also had 2 strong letters of rec from UCSF and one from a professor that I TA’d for. Try to show Columbia what made you who you are today, and trust the process. I had my heart set on UCSF and didn’t get in which shattered me, but am now realizing that Columbia truly is the superior option. It will work out, you got this!
