Hey all! I am planning to apply to the MDE/DNP program as well! Do you know when exactly the application opens? I scoured through the Columbia Nursing webpages and could not find an exact date!

Hope that everyone's applications are going smoothly! I have been working on mine, just waiting for one of my professors to respond about writing my letter of recommendation haha. Nervous about the video essays, so I haven't started on that yet either ?

I went to an information session on August 18th. It was very informative.  ----------------------------------,  Admissions Director,  indicated that we should set an early dealing for applying. He recommended October 1st rather than mid-October. I hope this helps!

Is anyone reapplying from 2022? I know they offered to roll over our admissions however the my application portal is empty and does not include the material I submitted from my previous application. Is that normal?

Hello! What is your name? I am so excited to apply! I have a few questions. How rigorous is the program? Does your cohort make study groups? How do you personally prepare for exams? Are you enjoying clinicals? How many clinical rotations do you have this semester? I look forward to your reply! Thank you AspiringNP98.

I submitted mine about a week ago, and it certainly will be a long waiting game for sure!  

I also submitted for yale, and I am still working on one for johns hopkins for fall semester entry, these sure do take a lot of work!

Good luck! Are you going to go to an information session at Columbia University? I received an email that mentioned we should go to as many as possible!
