I am applying to 13 schools and I still do not think I started preparing early enough...):

@KAS212 @queen3lizabeth

I'm trying to start my personal statements for other programs since they hinted at what might need to be included. I tend to stress myself out with writing so I'm trying to start early to give myself time!

Holy ***. What all 13 schools are you applying to? I think there's like maybe 4 programs or so that I'm interested in applying to. But $$$$

Columbia is literally the only school I'm applying too ? probably isn’t the smartest idea. I do have a few back up schools in mind but IDK.. I have high hopes for Columbia. I also stress myself out with writing this is why I try to prepare early as possible

I am applying to :

Arizona State University

University of California San Francisco

University of California Irvine

Columbia University

Vanderbilt

Johns Hopkins

University of Illinois at Urbana

Oregone Health and Sciences University

Stony Brook University Accelerated BSN

Oh WOW!, that's great! I see you're applying to a lot of accelerated BSN as well! I've been wondering if I should do the same.

@queen3lizabeth

I would say not to stress too much about it, but I also stress out SO much! I also have high hopes since my cumulative GPA isn't the best right now, and the GRE is not required, but it's still terrifying. My pre-requisite GPA is good so that's my saving grace. But the fact that these applications define my future is insane.

@angrenteria10

Columbia is number one for me though for sure.

The accelerated programs are in AZ as well, but all they care about is GPA, they do not care about my experience at all, which is so unfortunate...My GPA is not bad but, it is not a 4.0 to say the least....

I think I might go for an accelerated BSN just incase Columbia doesn’t work out. But I know Columbia looks at applications with a Holistic point of view. So they look at your application as a whole, and the person you are, and what makes you a unique candidate. And not only based on how high your GPA is and what not.

@KAS212 @queen3lizabeth

Other programs I want to apply to weed out people based on GPA/GRE scores and I hate it. My GPA also isn't the worst, but it could be better! I like the holistic process so much and I hope it works out for us! I still need to take the GRE for other programs and it stresses me out! I might also try to go for an accelerated BSN in case things don't work out for me but I am hopeful!

What made you guys interested in Columbia?

yes I'm crossing my fingers we all get in ! ??
& Columbia always interested me and their requirements aren’t really horrible either. I love that you can get your masters and RN in one and also because they don’t require GRE either. It’s such a good school and love the holistic view that they have. I also cannot really move out of state right now and Columbia is right here in NY so it would work out really good for me ?

@angrenteria10 @queen3lizabeth

Columbia is my first choice because they have a few research topics that I am incredibly interested in so I have been reading up on a ton of their research. It literally has everything I am interested in, but it is such a tough school to get into that I just applied almost everywhere. Any advice? @Gmilitar

also, columbia is big on global initiatives. think about whether or not this would interest you

I know Columbia accepts about 200 applications I believe. So it’s a pretty big cohort in my opinion. I feel that the program shouldn’t be a headache to get into we just need to show our passion for nursing in our essays, personal statement, etc. It may be very stressful but lets be positive!!
