Published

Hello everyone! This thread is for folks applying to Columbia's MDE/DNP program for the 2023 start.

Feel free to introduce yourself, ask questions and offer guidance and support to other candidates. Please be respectful and kind and remember that this is a long, exhausting, expensive, stressful journey for lots of people. Let's do our best to uplift and help each other. Good luck!

Does anyone know if there is an active facebook group for Summer 2023 DNP admitted students?

Congrats to all those accepted.

Did anyone here apply to the Post-BSN DNP?

Seems like decisions for that program are yet to be released, but wanted to get some insight.

Hey Parth, Curious when you actually received a decision? Applying to the post BSN DNP program for 2024 fall. Columbia is notoriously all over the place with their dates...

Wow so interesting!

hey guys wanted to provide some advice for those interested

 

I was in the DNP program last year, but dropped and transferred to another program in nyc.

for what it offers, Columbia is EXTREMELY expensive. the program from the start was very disorganized, sometimes they didn't even have instructors to teach the courses and would throw in random faculty members at the last minute.

There are many better options out there. don't fall for the Columbia name like I did. 

not to mention rent in NYC is outrageous; luckily I found a place in Long Island City which is a short commute to the new program I am currently in

 

just wanted to give y'all some advice before committing to a super expensive program 

 

What other program did you pick if you don't mind sharing?
