Thank you @queenrus! I’m sure you will too! When I attended Vandy’s virtual open house in the Fall, one of the faculty said once you are accepted you could email them with your clinical placement requests. I don’t remember which faculty mem...

@queenrus I really liked Vanderbilt's faculty but I decided Yale's program is a better fit for me - smaller cohort, small college environment, and slightly more financial aid. Furthermore, I've already zoomed with my specialty director at Yale and ha...

Gave up my seat for prespecialty - AGPC today. Good luck to everyone on the waitlist!

@againstthegrain Spot on!

I put down deposits at both CUSON and YSN, but I will be choosing Yale. @Absnholder109 Tuition/loans: Yale is significantly cheaper (over 100K+ in tuition alone) to get to the NP level. Columbia's extra cost comes from the extra semesters to ear...

I've given up my spot for the ABSN-MSN AGPC. I am choosing a different program. I hope this helps someone on the waitlist!

@ForeverPsych Wow I love your pros and cons! Reading them made me re-think what I want/need out of a program. And I think I finally reached my decision... Thank you! Here's what I've come up: I need support. Yes, I am a self-starter and ext...

@ForeverPsych Congrats on your acceptances! I am in the same boat as you with acceptances from Columbia, Yale, Vanderbilt, and Penn (although I will not be going to Penn). I am curious what your reasons are for choosing Columbia aside from the genero...

I’m in for prespecialty - AGPC! Can anyone confirm if the MSN specialty is only one year? The financial aid email I received a few weeks ago says the Prespecialty is one year and most MSN specialties are one year. Is this right? Thanks in a...

They said during the open house a few months ago that they release decisions on valentine's day.

Does anyone know the cohort size?

@kesha111222 my acceptance letter did not list scholarship/aid info. I believe financial aid package letters will come next week. I only submitted my FAFSA. I did not see federal tax forms were to be submitted in December so I don’t think I’...

@aspiringkingscountynurseThank you for notifying us that decisions were posted! I didn't receive an email so I logged into the portal to see my decision. Happy to share that I've been accepted into BSN-MSN (AGPC)! Congrats everyone!

On October 30, I received an email from Admissions with the following: Admissions Timeline: November 2020 - January 2021: Applications are reviewed December 15, 2020: Financial aid application deadline (more info next week) Early February...

I made a facebook group for admitted students. Search: Yale GEPN/MSN 2021. Look forward to connecting further!

I’m in for GEPN - AGPC! I can’t believe it! I’m so excited. I think I am going to frame my acceptance letter. LOL

I still have my doubts about Columbia but I think it has resources that most programs do not have access to. I agree that you really do have to focus on your short- and long-term goals. I also think it's wise to go to school where you want to practic...

I spoke to a Columbia DNP grad yesterday who spoke about the lack of experience she received in the DNP program and how she struggled to find a job after graduating. I think the main takeaway from my conversation w her is that a degree doesn’t mean m...

So glad I found this thread. @GreenMagus87 I am in the same boat. I, too am 33 and already have a Master's so I am drawn to a DNP. In my interview Yale, my interviewer told me that the clinical DNP (not leadership/health care) is new but MSN students...

Hi Everyone, I had my interview today. So glad to be done! My interviewer said they have to give Admissions their list of who is in next week. However, I don't think we will get to find out decisions until first week of Feb.

Found a helpful page for Scholarships at Columbia. https://www.nursing.columbia.edu/scholarships-and-grants Did anyone else apply to the Columbia MDE Maxwell Honors program? I've not heard back on this application.

I applied to Columbia, Yale, Penn, and Vanderbilt for Adult-Gero Primary Care. I've been accepted to Columbia and awaiting decisions for the other programs. My preference is Yale because of the smaller cohort and price-wise, Yale appears to be cheape...

I think the sharing of STATS is pretty bizarre in my opinion. I don't think it gives any insight into admission decisions. I think the greater message is to trust in one's candidacy and practice patience until decisions are released. Off my soap...

@Omgbeck_123 I applied to Adult-Gero Primary Care.
