Hey everyone: I'm beginning Columbia's entry to practice MSN/NP program in May. I applied as a Women's Health speciality and I was just wondering if anyone had any advice on how marketable WHNPs are in California (or anywhere, for that matter). I'm c...

I've been assigned to room 324... Looks likes we'll be floor mates! Haven't heard a peep about meal plans... I'm under the impression that they don't exist. I noticed you're from Cali? What part? I'm from San Diego and with the weather today I'm drea...

The housing director said that they were going to begin housing placements the week of March 19th (this week). I'm assuming we should be receiving info next week...Also, I am pretty sure she said that most people from outside the NY metropolitan are...

Has anyone heard from Yale regarding acceptances or rejections (hopefully the former)??? This wait it killing me. Do they call everyone regardless of whether you were accepted or not?

Congratulations to all of you!!! I just received my acceptance letter and couldn't be happier!!! I'm going into the Women's Health NP track and would love to chat with anyone else in ths specialty. Again, congrats to all of you...

Thanks for the suggestion...

BlueJune: Glad you're interview went well. I also had a similar experience during my interview. If you don't mind me asking, who did you interview with?

Opps. Didn't mean to scare everyone. I'm sure you're right about it just referring to the set up of the day... let's hope so anyway!!!

I am also wondering what sort of attire is appropriate for the interview? Also, in the letter I rec'vd from admissions they stated they do use the "block interview system" yet it also showed that we have individual interviews with a faculty member. D...

Thanks for the info. I am going to call them tomorrow to book the room. I am planning on going to the pot luck on Thursday evening. We should definately get together afterwards... I am going to be a big ball of nerves and will definately need somethi...

Thanks for the advice. Very good insider info to know. Being from out west, I have NO clue about the area...

Well, I would get my MSN at UCLA and then work for a year or two as a staff nurse. Then go back to get my post-masters NP certificate... Kinda a round-about way to do it but it works.

Thanks for the offer May Baby... I was hoping for the Marriot deal and was waiting to hear from the lady at YSN to see about accomodations at a students house... Haven't heard from her yet but I guess I should make reservations. I have AAA so I may t...

Actually, I am at the Mission Bay location (basically in PB). It sounds like you have a good volunteer background. That'll def help. I will be arriving in CT on January 17th (weds) and leaving the 20th (sat). We should def meet up in CT. Will you be ...

Like you said, Yale is Yale. Columbia would be amazing also and UCLA would be a lot more affordable. I'll just have to see who wants me and go from there. Yeah, I've done quite a bit of medical volunteering throughout college. A couple hospitals and ...

Good to know. Thanks! I have also applied to UCSF, Columbia, Yale and Northeastern. Have an interview out at Yale in a couple of weeks. I didn't realize they notify us so late.... I believe Yale and Columbia require you to make a decision by early ma...

Yeah, I will be flying right into New Haven.... Didn't want to have to deal with renting a car and all that. What about you? I also applied to UCSF (got rejected ), Columbia, UCLA and Northeastern. Good luck @ Western! Which school would be your 1st...

Hey!!! I am a UCLA MECN applicant... Do you know any details about the application process? Do they conduct interviews??

I will probably being doing the Marriot deal for one of the nights but I am hoping to be able to stay with a current GEPN student for two nights... We'll see. As of right now, I am working in SD. Graduated from UCSD this spring and taking a couple of...

Hey MonYmonY: I purchased my ticket a couple of days ago and I will be arriving in New Haven on Weds (1/17) evening and leaving Saturday morning. I am thinking of attending the Thursday evening Potluck... How about you?? What speciality track are yo...

Hey everyone! This is my first actual entry but like some of you, I have been secretly gettting some great info throughout the application process. I will be interviewing at Yale on January 19th for the Women's Health NP track. Do any current studen...
