The advisor, from what I understand, is the program/track director for your specialty. There are exceptions of course, but usually they will be who you would go to in order to have registration holds removed. On that note, it stated in the mass email that advanced registration opens up March 23!

Wanted to put here that class registration info was emailed out yesterday through one's respective Penn email. From my end, you are able to meet via Teams or in person.

I only got 8,400. And it's throughout all semesters? Or is 8,400 per semester? Either way, going to do what I can to get other scholarships throughout my time in the program ?.

Appreciate you as always SamIAm26. As I've always stated, you are very well deserving of your admission. Also, I'm BSN-DNP, so that very well could be why nothing has come out yet (unless I'm misunderstanding the previous messages), so I'm not even sure if PLAN applies to me. Because you can earn admission without being in PLAN correct?

Been a while since I've been on here, but congratulations to those who have made progress in attending Columbia! As for myself, well mine still says awaiting decision..........................Didn't apply to PLAN, so at least that's one less thing to be looking out for. In any case, I can't believe that there will be even more schools added to the "we released our decisions before Columbia" list LOL

Gotcha. Well first off Congrats! Now I wonder if it was sent out all at once or if they are doing it one at a time. Because I didn't get a rejection email for it thus far.

Where does one go to check? Or do they email you with the result? Trying to search for the rejection/acceptance as we speak.

I didn't even think about the loan/grant situation. But furthermore on the timeline, if they would just be upfront and say not until February the earliest, I'd be OK with that. Still waiting on UCLA and UVA from my end, but they clearly communicated that decisions go out March.

Oh it's less about whether I'm rejected, waitlisted, or accepted haha. Moreso just the delay and how 1) Many other programs starting in the Fall have released all their decisions and 2) They stated on the website how folks would hear back in January.

Just checked my portal. Still nothing aka "awaiting decision" for my FNP DNP ?

Wait as in exactly one week from today? Or did you mean as in "last week of February, so an update has to come out by then.”?

I'm wondering the same too.

Congratulations! One question and that's if your portal ever changed from "Awaiting Decision" to "Decided". Mine still says awaiting. I'm also a BSN-DNP FNP applicant who applied for priority decision.

As far as I know, you shouldn't have to put in the deposit early since Lauder decisions will also play a part in whether people choose to stay full-time or try to see if their program will allow a switch to part-time study if they are not selected. Also, the wait is getting to me too haha. But then I remember to remind myself that this wait is nothing compared to the fiasco that is going on with Columbia admissions decisions' timeline LOL.

From what I remember during the open house, Antoinette Oteri (direct of nursing financial aid) said it's usually by email around this time of late February. As for whether she meant the email used during the application or your Penn email, that I'm not sure of.

??? Unless something changed, undergrads usually won't hear back until Ivy Day or ED if they applied that early.

Slightly off topic, but surely more candidates here will get decisions this week right? UCLA got back to me saying there's a strong chance their BS-DNP and MEPN decisions come out next week (they start in Fall like the aforementioned Emory, Vandy, etc. too.). Surely there's no chance Columbia is later to the ball then UCLA right? LOL Also UVA is set to release their decisions first week of March. No way they come earlier than Columbia too right? My Psych NPs in here feel free to diagnose me as delusional LOL.

Not sure about everyone here, but no further updates yet on my end. Lauder selections are set to come out any moment now though, so I imagine that has something to do with it being relatively silent for now. Excited either way for what's to come as per usual haha.

Different school, but I got my Michigan admission offer on a Sunday. Here's hoping that more folks in here will experience this said weekend admission. At this point, I'm thinking end of the month too since even some MDE folks haven't heard back yet.

You can say a mix of both haha. Definitely primary care office to build my fundamentals/skills as a PNP-PC when the time comes. Also wouldn't be opposed to things such as research and informatics down the line. Best of luck to you as well! I got in via priority decision, but have ultimately committed to Penn. Go Blue though as Tom Brady would say haha.

I'm in the same boat as you haha. Hopefully today is the day we get a decision.

Still nothing on my end. Although I applied as a BSN to DNP, and not MDE, so perhaps I will be among the last to get a decision at this rate haha.

Like Shevonne, mine came in two days later from when I put my deposit in. Fun fact in that I got my email on a Saturday to set up my PennKey and email.

Mine still says awaiting decisions. Probably doing MDE applicants first, then the BSN/MSN to DNP ones (as they should based on the deadlines originally set). Best of luck everyone!

My portal is still the same aka showing the timeline, though I imagine that'll change shortly based on what you've all been saying.
