Not during my class. Very few didn’t finish

Generally you will hear from Admissions by the first week of February, and they send their decisions by email. Your financial aid offers are a little later. I know that anxiety and excitement gets exhausting, but you’re almost done... Hang in there! Best, J.

Hello everyone! My name is Jeffrey and I graduated from the MDE program at Columbia and am currently in the first year of the DNP/ FNP portion. If you need further information I am generally pretty good at responding to questions each week, but if you're going to attend the visiting day, you'll get most of your questions answered there. In the meantime give me a shout with your questions, and I'll see if I can help! Best, JSB

Hello Clari, I am a current MDE/ DNP-FNP student, in response to your question re: housing, yes Columbia Nursing will offer housing if you select that you need it. That said, it will not be offered to everyone, so once you receive your letter, ( offer) you can follow the instructions on how to get on the list. Once accepted, you can either receive campus housing ( the towers 1,2,3 or Bard hall) or many students have chosen to look on the housing advertising list at the campus housing website to see available sublets and roommate advertising off campus. Others after meeting up at visitation day decided to look together and find their own place. Whichever route, I promise that you'll find a place through one of those options. I hope that helps, Best wishes and happy holidays the decisions will be here before you know it! - J.

For our undergrad programs we did...I am not sure about SON.

Good morning future RNs & NPs! For those of you who are still on the fence about Columbia, I wanted to provide some insight as to why I made my decision to continue my education at Columbia. I am currently finishing my second degree at Columbia this semester, and I have never been as "in love" with a school the way I am with Columbia. I have attended state schools and private colleges of all sizes with little to no or stellar reputations, but Columbia stands above them all and that has to do with the community of the school. In my academic history, I can't ever remember (before Columbia) feeling so supported and challenged by the same institution. Columbia offers the student so many ways to engage not only with their respective area of study, but also each other. Never once at Columbia have I ever felt like a number, but instead I have always been made to feel welcome and valued, and that my voice in the classroom or on a panel made a difference in those around me. So why do I want to be a FNP? To Make a difference in the lives of those around me in my community. Why do I want to learn this at Columbia? Because Columbia takes a holistic view of the people in their community. Columbia embraces diversity, applauds different ideas and never makes anyone feel that they are "lucky" to be here, rather that they consider themselves fortunate to have had the opportunity to add your voice to their academic conversations. Ultimately, I am staying at Columbia because I'm not done with my time at Columbia. The cost is higher than other schools, but Columbia is not just another school. I understand we all need to weigh the pros and cons of each offer, but for me Columbia offers so much more than a $25,000 savings or a faster turn around. In graduate school you can either learn from the people who teach the books, or learn from the people who write them. Columbia's professors are leaders that are nationally and internationally renown in our respective fields. Loan repayments are an inevitability for us all and as such, we want to be competitive as job candidates when we graduate. With the MSN DNP from an Ivy-League institution like Columbia, you'll have that edge. The clinical and paid-residency provides you ample experience to leave school with real working experience as well as connections for your next step. Many students at Columbia are offered position during their residency because what is a residency if not a year-long job interview, where you are exposed to many potential employers. There are many excellent school out there and each with its own personality, gifts and offerings. I in no way have written this to cast aspersions on those schools but only to illuminate why I think Columbia is so special in its own right. I wish you continued success wherever you decide to attend, and thank you for hearing my thoughts. Best, JSB

We're in the same program! 😊

They said by February 15.

I was accepted to the MDE / DNP Family Nurse Practitioner program, and I will definitely be accepting! Has anyone created a Facebook group yet? See you all March 2nd! WOOOHOOO!

I am anxious as well! I think Feb. 2nd makes sense, because the visitation is exactly one month after. Here's to good news for ALL of us!

Hey everyone, I'm right there with you...this waiting is the worst, however I'm sure it will all be worth it soon. I was reading last year's thread, and I noticed that the decisions started arriving around February 3rd. I can't be sure it will be the same for us, but here's to everyone getting great news and soon! Fingers crossed and best wishes to everyone.

Hello Everyone, I spoke with Financial Aid a few days ago, they said to make sure FAFSA is filled out, but as far as the scholarship letter they spoke about in the application email they are aware that they wrote about that letter and then didn't send it. They said the letter was incomplete, but it will be sent later on. I hope that eases some nerves while we wait...and wait! Best wishes and happy holidays, Jeffrey

That was a fantastic find...Thanks for sharing!
