  1. Columbia University ETP 2008

    BeaconStreet replied to Asherah's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Yup, white. All white. As in: no trim, stripes, swooshes, etc. You can put a little piece of tape or white out over small logos. Make sure they're comfortable-- you'll be running around in them...

    BeaconStreet replied to Asherah's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Iriska- You can waive the student health insurance (but not the health services fee) by filling out the form at http://www.cumc.columbia.edu/student/health/insurance/waive.html . The page is still set...

    I'm glad to see things perking up around here! I was also waitlisted for a dorm room, with a laughably low spot in the list. As in, maybe if all of you turn down your rooms, and then convince a few...

  7. Columbia: Questions about ETP

    BeaconStreet replied to dg05's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi Cmelny, One of my earlier posts might be the source of confusion. After the December info session I posted that Chad had said that they were going to start holding the BSN until the end of the...

    Hi Cozzy, The day started with accepted students sitting at tables by specialty. There was a screen and lectern at the front of the room, and many administrators and faculty were introduced and said a...

    Another on buying supplies. I spoke to a number of med school friends who all urged me to get the best stethoscope I could. They said the cheaper models are fine for basics, but that heart sounds are...

    BeaconStreet replied to iriska_meller's topic in Post Graduate Students

    At the info session I attended in December they said they had switched the BSN to the end of the program. The admissions guy did say that they wanted to discourage people leaving after 1 year and...

    The last time US News ranked nursing schools was in 2003, so discount these accordingly. At that time, Yale was #10 and Columbia was #19, although only number rank was between them due to multiple...

    BeaconStreet replied to dg05's topic in Post Graduate Students

  18. Call from Yale?

    BeaconStreet replied to dg05's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I've read those posts, too. At my interview they didn't say anything about calling applicants. Anyone hear anything different? I'm not brave enough to call just yet, although I'd love to hear a...

    BeaconStreet replied to iriska_meller's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi Chickpea, I'm very curious to hear what they say when you call. I had the same problem of different programs requiring different FAFSA answers--however I filled it out would be wrong for at least...
