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! ;)

Hello guys,

How are you all doing? Remember to RSVP for March 7th visiting open house. I cannot wait to meet you all. I will be coming from California and this visit will be my first one in NY.. I am scared and excited at the same time. I will arrive on March 5 and depart March 10...quite a stay, right? I'll make it a small deserved vacation and mother-daughter time -- since I invited my mom to come with me (I live in Bay Area California and she lives in Los Angeles). I am still looking for cheap hotels/hostel around the University. Any input would be very much appreciated.

Dear Elizabeth, I would like to thank you for all your help and dedication to this thread and the other ones concerning ETP program at Columbia. Will you be at the visiting open house? I would love to meet with you.

ps: as a reminder, I am in the dual midwifery and WHNP program.

OK, I'm very afraid to ask this, because I'd almost rather not know.....

ebut if the projected cost for the first year is $97k, what are the next two years going to cost? Is this going to turn into a quarter-million-dollar education??

Yikes!

I looked on their website and it appears that the first year is by far the most expensive. After that I think you start paying by the unit, which is between $1042 and $1322 per unit. Check out : http://www.columbia.edu/cu/sfs/docs/University_Tuition_And_Fees/Tuition_Rate_and_Fees.html#school-16

Also, you should be able to figure out how many units you're going to have to pay for by looking at the info under your specialty (the curriculum part).

Hey everyone! Hope all is well...did everyone get the email from Judy today? Lots of stuff due on the 14th/15th of March. Is anyone here applying for housing? I definitely am, I won't have time to search for apartments between now and May 28th.

Who is going to the visiting day on March 7th? Unfortunately I can't afford to fly all the way out there. Would anyone attending be willing to relay any important information to me? ESPECIALLY anything in the financial area...I am freaking out about how much this is going to cost. I STILL have not received a letter from Oscar regarding financial aid...is anyone else in the same boat as me?

Hello friends,

This thread is loosing its spirit a little lately.. it may be only my impression :) Lets put some energy into it!

Do you guys know to whom we make the $500 check payable to?

Also, I will be coming to the visiting day in March.. I booked the flight from SFO to LGA for $177..what a deal! However, now I am desperately looking for a place to stay for 5 nights.. check in March 5 -check out March 10 for my mom and I. Do you guys know any good (safe) and cheap places? [preferably in the Upper West Side below 110th)

I received an info e-mail from Judy that a package regarding: housing, uniforms, CPR, visiting day, etc will be mailed to us tomorrow.

Do any of you want to get together before or after the visiting day? For lunch, coffee, etc? We can either: 1) create an e-mail list (PM me your e-mails and I'll add individuals as more people get interested); 2) we can flood this thread; 3) create another thread regarding a place and time to meet. Tell me what you guys think. Have a good week.

dear smit1989

i received the e-mail you mentioned. i will definitely apply for housing and i cross my fingers to receive a room.. i am coming from ca (bay area - sf).

Hi everyone,

I'm still pretty new to this site but just wanted to join in on this thread with you guys, as I will be with you in May! (Very excited! Midwifery and WHNP here!) Just thought I would say Hi and commiserate with you all about the cost (70K!) lol....hopefully it will be well worth it, as we are going to have clinicals at some outstanding facilities!

Anyway, all the info everyone posts is very helpful so thanks for that.....anyone else nervous about the leap we are about to take?

:wink2::wink2::wink2:

I got the email from Judy too about housing, etc. Does anyone know what our uniform consists of?

hi micheleh!! Welcome.. don't be shy, post whatever/whenever.

I am midwifery & WHNP as well!!! Yeey

See you in May

ps: Yes, I am very scared.. especially since the program starts a day after my microbio final.. well, I'll find a way to take the exam earlier; but the thought of not having any break before the "boot camp" summer semester makes me very worried about my academic performance. I am already looking forward for the one month break in August; maybe I should start making plans for that mini vacation to take the pressure away a little.

i'm scared too!! i'm sort of in the same boat, my undergrad graduation is only 3 days before the first day of orientation! but i'm so excited to see what is to come this summer, and of course visiting day too! :)

the email that we just got sort of made everything so much more real to me, picking out uniforms, getting a supply kit? wow!

Wow...it seems like a lot of us are going to be recent graduates from our undergrad schools. I graduate on May 14th! It will be a crazy 2 weeks:)
