I applied Jan 28, and then had to update some documents and had everything "accepted" Feb 2. I think received a call for an interviewed Feb 12 for an interview on Feb 19. I received my acceptance the next morning (which seems typical from reading other peoples' experiences on here)! They gave me a week to accept and put down a $150 deposit (that would then also have $150 background check). I asked to push the decision deadline to Mar 15 because I am waiting to hear from other schools! They allowed that.

I submitted Jan 22, but they rejected several of my documents at first and everything was accepted by Feb 4. They called me Tuesday, Feb 11 for an interview and I took the first available time which is Feb 19. They said they would follow up with a zoom link email but I haven't received it yet. Did this happen to anyone else?

Sorry for causing confusion on here! I re-read my email and I think financial aid is coming later (like the email says - I have that exact same sentence). I just got confused because they mention a scholarship amount in my acceptance letter right before that FAFSA sentence.

My acceptance letter for the FNP track MDE/DNP (in the portal) mentions a scholarship amount in the third paragraph. Re-reading it now, I am realizing this is maybe just a scholarship and not financial aid because the next sentence after the scholarship amount says, "If you have already submitted your FAFSA by the deadline, please expect to receive information from our Office of Financial Aid in 10-15 business days." So I guess that means I could still get financial aid because I did submit the FAFSA. Does that seem true? Sorry for the confusion, and I hope that's true because the scholarship isn't enough to make the program reasonable for me.

I also just got accepted! Financial aid/scholarship offers are in the acceptance letters, like they said they would be. But oof it's an expensive program.

I got my prereq email from the assistant director of enrollment!

I think this year will be closer to last year's timeline (mid feb?) since the application deadline this year was the same. From reading the past Columbia MDE threads on allnurses, the application deadline two years ago was earlier, so it makes sense they heard back in January. Also the MDE website says "Decisions Posted: February" which isn't very specific, but also what it said last year.
