waiting on a letter from Columbia.. yale??

Nursing Students Post Graduate

Published

Hey all,

It's been kinda quiet this year in terms of applicants getting together and expressing their mutual frustration at having to wait so long to hear from the school of their dreams! From reading previous threads, it looks like Columbia applicants should be hearing by the end of the first week of Feb and Yale sometime in the second week...

How's everyone feeling? I've practically chewed off my lower lip in anticipation!!!

Good luck to all!

Me too! Congrats to you! I was so excited to hear about the news - I'm still waiting to hear from Yale, but Penn had been my top choice throughout this whole process! I wonder when we'll hear about the MSN decisions?

argh. my decision at penn still isn't up. my hunch is that is not a good sign since you guys have already gotten the thumbs up. they probably post all of those and then post the rejections a day or two later....thankfully i've been accepted to another bsn/msn program and i'm not totally counting penn out yet....

Congrats on your acceptance, though!

I haven't recieved any acceptance letters to the school I applied to, but they called me and asked me to apply for some "highly selective" scholarships. I guess that means I will get in, but I still really want that letter!!!!!! But free nursing school sounds good too, so if I have to wait and keep eating my fingernails.....then so be it!

Every time I sign on I see a bunch of people viewing this thread, but there are hardly any new posts! I guess no one has much to say as we all wait to hear. :uhoh21:

So, I thought we'd do a little roll call. Who's waiting to hear from Columbia and/or Yale? Also, anyone want to pass the time placing bets about when the letters will arrive? Winner gets a cascade of smilies. Feel free to post date bets on any other schools-- I chose the two in the thread title.

Here goes:

I'm still waiting for both Yale and Columbia. Although I'd like to hear sooner, my realistic bet is 1 week from today for Columbia (Feb 6). and two weeks (Feb. 13) for Yale. I'm in the northeast, so the mail time should be pretty short.

Who's next?

I'm only waiting on Columbia... there was a rumor last year that they sent out letters on Feb 1 of last year... and that's tomorrow... and I'm in NYC, which means I should hear on/around/by the 5th, altho I'd really prefer the 3rd :) For all others in the NE, I'm guessing Feb 7.
