Columbia University ETP 2008

Nursing Students Post Graduate

Published

So where are the potential 2008 Columbia ETPers at? I think a handful of regulars around here have Columbia on their list of apps, so heres a thread to get us through until notifications in Spring 2008. If you'd like, reply here and let us know which specialty you are trying for! I just submitted my app online for Acute Care...Good luck everyone! ;)

I can't believe it, I got into Columbia! Now that the tears have dried, I want to thank everyone on this post for all the great info. Now, I have to decide where to go, but I still have 2 interviews next week. Oh boy.

Byrd,

May I ask where you are located, as us Californians are still waiting on letters...trying to estimate how many days we're going to have to wait.

Congratulations, too! :yeah:

Thanks Asherah,

I am not too far from NYC...Philadelphia. So, I would imagine that those on the West Coast have another couple of days. Good luck to all. By the way, I didn't get an email regarding the mix up. I just got a letter for those who were wondering.

Anyone in the Midwest or on the West coast get their letter yet? Like Asherah I'm in California and so anxious I can't stand it! Time and mail are going by so slowly I feel like we're back to the Pony Express...

Not yet...I'm waiting for my letter in Houston. I'll definitely post when it arrives!

Asherah, I am also on the West Coast (SoCal) and I just got a letter from Columbia. I'm in for ANP/Women's Health track! My mail always comes relatively late (between 4-5PM), that might have made a difference as far as delivery date, but I'm not too sure how the USPS works. Stay patient, even though I know waiting is agonizing, you'll probably get it tomorrow. BEST OF LUCK to everyone!

Anniepants,

Would you mind letting us know how many in your class were selected for the ACNP track?

Hi Anniepants,

Yes I will definitely be at the visiting day. Do you know if we get to meet students on that day? Are you currently in the BSN section or already on to your master's work? I am really looking forward to hearing from students who are in the midst, what their experience has been and what tips they may have for us newbies.

Well here's something I didn't expect....I applied for the nursing anesthesia program and was accepted....but not for nursing anesthesia. The letter states that I am accepted to the ETP BS/MS program but they, unfortunately, can't offer me a spot in the nursing anesthesia program. They "encourage" me to choose a different master's specialty. Don't get me wrong, I'm in no way trying to bash Columbia. I'm grateful for being accepted but I certainly find that interesting...and unexpected.

i'm currently in the RN portion of the program. i can't say for sure exactly how many of us were accepted into acute...but i think there were around 10-12 of us that came in...perhaps a few more?...that's just a rough estimation. i'm not sure how many people are planning on going onto acute care at this point in time though. as you may have heard, many people in ETP end up changing their specialties, which is one great thing about columbia..they allow you to.

and yes, you will be able to speak to students during the visiting day (i'll be there!).
