Hi! I did, it was part of my financial/merit aid package 

Hey, I'm curious as to what they said was the projected tuition in the package without boarding. Did they award you a lot in scholorships?

I am just a tad confused on some of the financial aid package. I emailed them and they said they would be holding a session and details to follow but I have a couple questions re: room and board!

Hi! tuition for 3 semesters is 89,858, plus some fees that prob come out to 2k. They did give me a decent amount of financial aid and scholarship money and a smaller unsubsidized loan. Definitely won't cover everything but it was pretty good!

I thought MDE is 4 semesters?

You pay out of pocket for the last Summer semester. But out of pocket is of course loans.

Would someone who received their financial aid package info be so kind as to explain a couple of things to me possibly over email? LOL I have a couple of questions on mine!

Hey, congrats on your acceptances! I’m personally not on the same boat, but I did consider this scenario, as I also considered applying to JH. NYC and MD are pretty distinct environmentally. They’re both major cities, but the atmosphere is very different - so take that how you want. The cost of living will also differ, but NYC rent is pretty reasonable for the area currently, IMO (I live in downtown Boston, so I may just be biased). Columbia has the #1 DNP program in the country, but I think the JH MDE program ranks higher than CU; depending on which career route you’re considering, I’d take this into consideration - one school may favor students who completed their MDE program more when considering them for DNP. They’re both great programs, so there’s not really a wrong choice.

Hi everyone!

I was recently admitted to Columbia and was wondering if there was a facebook group already going?

Thank you ?

I had offered to start one on here if anyone was interested! I don't have social or I'd jump on, but someone was nice enough to open a facebook group on here earlier in the thread!

Congratulations!! Yes, there is a group on facebook... it's called "Columbia Nursing MDE/DNP 2021". Despite the name, not everyone in the group is on the DNP track ?
