jenn, were you approved for the wells fargo loan? you can PM or email me if you don't want to post it here...

dg, Thanks for your input. I read on this forum that many etp students are hired from their integraton sites. Is this true?

well said, sevillaes! I could not agree with you any more. This will me a difficult, yet fulfilling career, and worth every struggle to achieve it.

I've been browsing craigslist, too, and would love to live in the Upper West Side. As I live in SF, my only time to visit before my move is for Visitor's Day, so I'm hoping to link up with someone then if not before!

Hi All! What are your plans for housing? I'm planning/hoping to live off campus, and ideally would like to find another ETP student to share a two bedroom in Wash Heights, Morningside, or the West Side. Thoughts?

Hey Tempest, I talked to Oscar yesterday, and he said that I should be getting my financial aid info on Monday. I'll let you know my numbers once I find out.

I was thinking the same about Facebook last night, too! I just joined the general Columia ETP group last night, bit let's get something together for our class. Pls PM with the info!

Decision is made! I just sent in my deposit to Columbia tonight, and have started laptop and apartment hunting.. Which schools are you waiting to hear from, and deciding about?

pfft.. you would think! however, this is my second year applying, and columbia is my first acceptance (and luckily, top choice :) ) out of twelve that i've applied to this year. this entire process has made me quite humble, and caused me to realiz...

Congrats everyone on the acceptances! I'm in at Columbia, too, for PNP. I was getting worried there for a bit, but now am elated and definitely will be moving to New York come May!

Hang in there, jcarranz! The end of the week (and hopefully an acceptance for you) will be here soon. I graduated with a degree in Biology three years ago, with a 3.0 GPA and 1300 on my GREs. I have since spent time volunteering at an ED here in SF...

Tracyie/Moxie/ZooGirl, I'll be flying out of SF on Thursday, and am checking Kayak.com for deals. Moxie, Just to clarify, Columbia's medical campus is more towards the Bronx than Harlem (you might be thinking of the main campus..). It's faaar up at ...

I received a short letter about financial aid along with my acceptance letter. It's pretty vague, and mostly gives instruction on how to fill out the FAFSA according to Columbia's guidelines. I think we'll be getting more information in the mail, a...

I just found out I was accepted to Columbia's ETP program for PNP!! After a long road, I'm finally going to nursing school!

Congratulations, everyone!! I was accepted for PNP, and will be there on Visitor's Day. Let's start a roll call! Woooo!!! I'm so excited! ZooGirl, I'll be moving from SF to NY, but couldn't be happier. PM me if you want to chat about concerns...

Nahbois, When did you hear about your interview and turn in your application? I had all of my paperwork in just before the deadline, and haven't heard a peep from NE as of yet..

Hey ZooGirl, Congrats on the interview! I wore a women's suit and nice flats to my interview at WesternU, and found that it was what most people were wearing as well. Best of luck!
