Yeah I keep checking mine as well! On 01/04 they did make changes to my application portal and now everything has a green check mark so at least I know they did not forget about me LOL. I also applied to UCLA, Columbia, Johns Hopkins, and Duke. What ...

As hopeful as I want to be, I don't think we will be receiving decisions until mid-to-late January to be honest. ? Although I would much prefer hearing back as soon as possible LOL.

I applied for regular decision 1 for the MN program! Definitely starting to feel the nerves kick in! ?

Congrats to everyone who has been accepted so far!!? I have a question. I saw in previous forums that some applicants are not accepted into the Direct Entry MSN program, but instead are re-directed to the ABSN program because their application ...

From what I have seen and learned throughout this process is that decisions are really unknown. It is hard to truly know what a program is looking for specifically and they also probably try to build a cohort that is diverse and will work well toget...

I did! I would love to participate in the Global Initiatives Program, that would be so exciting and rewarding. Oh I see, I honestly had no idea you could do that tbh haha. Best of luck to you!☺️

What specialty did you apply for? ?

Absolutely! I applied to the MDE only route for right now but I would definitely consider doing a DNP program in the future, specifically for the opportunities that come with being a nurse educator.

Ahhh I love that! I currently work as a medical scribe in cardiology and I was beyond intimidated at first when I started because the cardiovascular system is SO complex, but it has really shown me how beautiful this branch of medicine is. Best of lu...

You all sound so amazing and regardless of the decision from Columbia, I know we will all make outstanding nurses some day! I applied for the MDE only route under the FNP specialty as I want to be a PCP for families in medically underserved com...

That makes sense! Thank you both for doing the dirty work and calling FAFSA haha. Yeah I would assume so since 5th year undergraduate is associated with a second bachelors and doesn't count as a graduate program, correct me if I'm wrong? Bec...

OMG that is so confusing and such a hassle. I applied to Duke and they sent me an email saying to specifically apply under 5th year undergraduate so I went back into my FAFSA and switched it but now I have to go back and switch it again? LOL. I wish ...

Yes! I currently live in Los Angeles, CA.

Yeah exactly. You are practically dead meat to FAFSA once you receive your Bachelors degree LOL.

Yeah, NYU's tuition is a bit ridiculous to me though since it is only a BSN that you are receiving and other programs provide a Masters degree at the same cost, so it's really like mmmm, is it truly worth it if your ultimate goal is to become an NP? ...

Yeah I totally understand that. I absolutely love my apartment and where I live in LA so it would definitely come down to a big decision if I were to be accepted to a school in NYC. It's just that I was born and raised in Southern California and I fe...

Well, a scholarship is financial assistance, so yeah that haha. However, some programs provide more financial assistance in terms of loans through the school whereas others don't provide as much and then expect you to pull out private loans which can...

I am sure your clinical experience and unique approach to nursing will definitely catch their eye, on top of your solid academic performance. Best of luck to you! ?

I really made sure to have as many options as possible because admission decisions can tend to be all over the place and some programs have a reputation of not always providing the best financial aid assistance. I applied to Columbia, UCLA, John...

Oh so you are only looking to stay in NYC? I am all the way over in Los Angeles but I love NYC so I definitely would not mind making the big move over. I was considering applying to SUNY Downstate but I really do not feel like taking the TEAS for lit...

Is anyone else waiting on other schools as well? If so, where did you all apply! ☺️

Yeah it was like opening a card and then shaking it for money like where is the rest hahaha. Very nice of them though!

Yes, I also received a holiday email on 12/17 as well. I'm pretty sure it is just a standard email sent to all applicants, but I would love if it actually meant something more ?

True. I mean I don't mind the option of having some classes be remote but I know that everyone's learning style is different. The only thing that really needs to be in person is clinicals or labs, so I guess we will just have to wait and see haha.

All I know is that once it hits January 1st I will be sleeping with one eye open?
