   Hey all! If you're coming to visiting day, stop by Coogan's at 4pm (after your last talk ends) to meet some current ETPers and maybe a master's student or two for Happy Hour! There will be ambassadors in the lobby of Bard hall after you talk ends to ...

   Hey Mollymargaret! Just found your post. I'm not on financial aid (ouch), I am over 24, but just happened to have leftover $$ in a 529 account after college. So I get to spend that down until I qualify. (double ouch, but I guess that education accoun...

   Hey myelin, As a current ETPer, here's my best response to your queries: 1. Rent in NYC can be as cheap as you need it to be, especially in Washington Heights (two of my roommates pay $550/mo). 2. The clinical placements in NYC are world class (I'm ...

   jqfish replied to melevang's topic in Post Graduate

   Hey applicants! I hope you're not going nuts over the waiting game. It's been a busy fall for us ETPers, but I finally logged in to see that I left someone with questions back in Sept... my bad! The number of people admitted per program definitely va...

   jqfish replied to melevang's topic in Post Graduate

   Sorry for such a delay. Finals ended the first week of August and now I'm recovering at the beach (with limited internet- it's glorious). So far, CUSON has been incredible! Out of the 8 or so classes this summer, I only had issue with one being a lit...

   jqfish replied to melevang's topic in Post Graduate

   Wow, I have not heard of people applying to more than 5, but if you can knock out 15 applications more power to you. I applied to 3 programs that I knew I would love attending and crossed my fingers. After getting my first "no" I kinda freaked out an...

    jqfish replied to tnewman's topic in General Nursing

    Having just completed applications to accelerated nusring programs, I agree with ChristineN. Look into Nurse Practitioner programs and the BSN/MSN accelerated tracks. My family and friends also gave me a bit of grief about going into nursing instead ...

14. Columbia University ETP 2011

    jqfish replied to PacoUSA's topic in New York

    Hi farful, I grew up in the suburbs north of Manhattan and the commute to 168th St would only seem manageable with a car. It's a pretty quick drive- when there's no traffic... The commuter rails (from Westchester county, Conneticut and the northern s...
