   agirlhasnoname replied to kkay29's topic in Washington

   @coug_nurse et al - I appreciate the helpful information. I am thinking forward to when I will be applying this time next year -- for the November 2018 cohort. I've looked at the info posted by Swedish, but was not able to see what materials are need...

   I do! I'm at 190th, in the Hudson Heights area. I'm very excited to go to school so close to home. It will be great to walk to class! And I'm super excited about the new building.

   Hey @ilovecorgis (I do too!) If you look closer to the nursing campus you can find 1 bedrooms for even cheaper than that. There was one in my building for $1850, and it's a great building/area. I've seen others close by in the same price range. If yo...

   The M4 may be your friend too. It goes all along the east side, and then up to northern Manhattan. Not quick, but sometimes it's nice to stay above ground.

   I'm older too -- but no family. You can do it! The hardest part is the first 15 months, and then it's less crazy. I live in NYC too -- Washington Heights. I'm still pinching myself a little bit. I had to double check this morning to make sure I hadn...

   The only way to get decently affordable in NYC is to live with two or more roommates. It's soooooo pricey, and the apartments are oftentimes soooooo crappy. Streeteasy is a good site/app for looking at listings. I have not used it to contact brokers ...

   Another MDE/DNP Psych here! I am so excited! I am from a field not at all healthcare-related, and am so grateful for Columbia's holistic assessment of their applicants. :) I wonder how the whole "priority deadline" thing factored in to things. FWIW, ...

    I believe the email they sent said January 9th was the last day to submit updated grades and resumes.

    I submitted mine. All you do is get a PDF of your updated transcript, log into your Columbia application, and upload it.

    Me too! I think in previous years they have said "by February 15," and it's ended up being early February. Wouldn't it be great if it were mid January instead? Not holding my breath.

    I got an email yesterday with the timeline, clarifying that the initial review can take a long time -- you all probably got it too. My initial application went in at the beginning of September, so that is probably why my notification came fairly quic...
