I currently attend Rutgers University and will be receiving my Bachelors in Public Health. My GPA is a 3.7 and I work as a clinical assistant. I really think if you show your passion into why you want to become a nurse you will be fine because they take a holistic approach when looking at applicants. If you need more information just PM me

And we still pay tuition during the residency.?

I just reached out and they said "The scholarship committee is still reviewing candidates whom qualify for the Rudin Opportunities Program. The review should be completed by deposit day March 15th. Selected students will be notified through email."

24,000 for the MDE and 3,000 for the merit... that's 27,000 (If that is what you received

FNP is a big program so you have a better chance of getting in than like someone going for midwifery. Additionally current students told me that Columbia likes to retain their students so you will most likely be approved for the internal DNP program (really just depends on seating). As far as financial aid... that was for need based scholarships. I believe that this is new so if you did not apply for that then you will probably only receive loans but obviously you can always talk to financial aid and see if they can assist you in any way once you review your package.

Literally lol. Rutgers was my safety school but being that I got accepted into Columbia University I am not applying to Rutgers anymore.

I believe like 700-800 apply and they accept 200... I'm not sure how many get accepted per speciality though. (someone said those stats in an old forum so it could be different

Columbia is actually affiliated with some child care centers... if you go on the link listed and search under students as parents you will see all the available resources they offer

They applied for spring and are writing in this forum.

Yes. I requested to join:) For those wondering about financial aid I emailed Amy and she said "Hi Danielle, Thank you for reaching out. You will be getting an e-mail from Financial Aid in the couple of days. You will receive your financial aid package after February 15th. "

OMGGGG!!! I got in MDE!:))))) so excited

I got a email saying they reached a decision but I don't see anything on my portal :/

That's what I'm saying

up where?? mine isn't up... did you get in?

Wait your serious??!!!!
