I think lectures for the first semester are online bc of the large class sizes, but after that they said it will mostly be in person

Has anyone talked to students who graduated from the MDE or MDE/DNP program? Im curious to know what they think of the program

I got in for BSN/MSN FNP! does anyone know when the financial aid will be released?

Hi! I have a few questions for a current student as well. 1. When I was looking into DNP programs, one of my main concerns was finding a school that would let me work as an RN during the DNP portion. In your experience, are many students able to find jobs as an RN with no experience at NYP? 2. Students received a financial aid package a few weeks ago detailing scholarship awards, does Columbia offer any additional merit scholarships throughout the DNP program?

FNP! how about you?

Hi guys! I just put my deposit down for Columbia's MDE/DNP program, excited to see everyone there this Summer ?

I got in the MDE/DNP !! Has anyone made an accepted students groupchat?

Hey! I am a biochem major with a 3.7 overall and a 3.8 prereq GPA. I have a decent amount of volunteering experience at a few hospitals and organizations at school. I have some leadership experience through research (which I love), teaching, and through a few clubs at school that I am heavily involved in. Columbia is def my top school and I hope I get in!!

I applied! Im wondering if those who get into the honors program get some sort of scholarship as well

Do you know if its 130k for the entire MDE program? I'm pretty sure they said its 130k just for 12 months, but the entire program is 15 months long that makes me feel so much better thank you!

also does anyone know the price of the entire MDE program? online it says that its ~130 for 12 months, but the program is 15 months long ?

Does anyone know if recommenders are allowed to submit the LOR after the October 15 deadline?? I'm getting nervous bc one of mine hasn't submitted theirs as yet, but I know other schools allow recommenders to submit LOR even after the deadline.

Does anyone know whether students who are selected into the honors program receive an additional scholarship?

I know a lot of students are applying to NP programs as a backup to PA school, which may be why there are more people applying this year? But through my research and shadowing experience, I have found that NP and PA professions are more different than people think...

For the travel/ hobbies & interests part of the resume, are we suppose to list these, or explain them as well?

Thanks!

Does anyone know what the format for the video essay is? Are they just asking us the question that is on the website or more?

Hi guys! I was just wondering how long it took everyone to finish the timed writing section?

Thank you so much for the info! I recently talked to a graduate from 2019 who mentioned that her cohort was required to find a job as a NP, which she needed in order to work towards her DNP. I was curious about the details, however, I was unable to find any more information on Columbia's website, so this was very helpful! Just to clarify, you mentioned that the DNP practicum was online, so does this mean that we would complete year 3 of the DNP program remotely after we found a job as an NP?

Does anyone know if we will have to complete a project, in order the receive the DNP degree, or if we will receive it automatically after successful completion of our credits? I know other schools require a DNP project, and that Columbia asked of this in the past as well, and I am just curious as to what this new system would be:)

I am also debating whether I should ask an academic advisor or doctor I shadowed for my last LOR. I was initially leaning towards the doctor, however, after the info session, I thought I should follow admissions advice and ask the academic advisor instead? Also regarding travel and hobbies, do we have to include this on the actual resume even though there is already a separate space for us to write this down on the application? Also, what do we write for travel, that seems kind of confusing/random?

Thank you so much for your insight @oneday_nursepoundcake !! Its great hearing about the supportive faculty and peers! I was honestly worried Columbia wouldn’t have the most supportive environment, since the cohort is so big, it seemed like it would be difficult to create these strong relationships with professors.

Thank you for responding @momo90 !! That was so helpful, and you have given me a lot to think about. I am definitely going to apply to Columbia, I am just hoping that they give scholarships or I find another way to pay for it. But if not, you are totally right, DNPs have a great starting salary, so it will pay off. The Summer sounds really intense, I hope it dials down in the coming semesters. Wishing you the best of luck and success this semester:)

Hi guys, I am applying to the MDE/DNP program for family medicine and Columbia is honestly my dream school. However, after reading all these posts in literally every single MDE Columbia forum LOL, I am starting to have a few concerns and I would really appreciate it if someone could address them... 1. First, the MDE/DNP program seems super super expensive. For those of you who are currently in the program, do you think the price is worth it? And does Columbia give a lot of scholarships or any full scholarships? Also, did Columbia reduce tuition since you guys are now online? 2. I am a new grad from a good research university, and I was just wondering how Columbia’s rigor and coursework compare to undergraduate programs? Do you guys have time for yourself, and time to participate in Columbia's extracurriculars? 3. Do you know if we have to pay extra for the global initiative's program and if that is worth it? I apologize for the number of questions I asked LOL I know it is a lot. I am just really anxious because Columbia is definitely my top school, and it is pretty much the only one I am even focusing on atm (I am applying to 5 other programs). I just want to make sure that I am making a smart decision by applying here and possibly dedicating 4 years of my life and 200k+ in loans for this degree/school.

Hi guys, I am super excited to be applying to the MDE/DNP program this cycle! I was just wondering if anyone knows (or if Columbia posted any stats) about the percentage of students who find a job as an NP after graduating
