Ah! I'm on tenterhooks! I just want to know, so I can figure out my next steps. I haven't applied anywhere else, since the other programs I'm considering have more requirements than Columbia, and I'll...
I haven't applied to NYU, though I have attended one of their information sessions. They're very friendly and very helpful, so I think you should call admissions and ask about your likelihood for...
You're very welcome! I definitely think you should go, regardless of the difference in price from other state schools. No other PA state school offers the same level of nursing education or prestige...
Thanks, Columbia! I didn't realize that RNs made more than NPs, but that's certainly something to keep in mind, especially given the time and money I'd have to invest to become an NP. How is it that...
I did consider Rutgers. Honestly, I hate NJ and don't want to stay here any longer than necessary. They also have more requirements and I just want to get out of my current job and into my new career....
I've already decided that I'm going to take time off between the ETP and NP program (if I get in), even if it means losing the scholarship because I don't want to take on that kind of debt. But every...
Thanks, columbia! Sorry to hear your student loan payments are so high. I know they're offering large scholarships now, which is why I applied. I'd never pay full price to go there - it's just...
I'm not a graduate of Pitt, but my father is a graduate of Pitt's honors program and my mother is a graduate of a nursing school that was absorbed by Pitt. My mother's a college professor of nursing...
I was told by admissions that they don't interview when I dropped off my application materials. They look primarily at your recommendations, essay, and leadership abilities. Grades count, though...
A&P I is less work than A&P II, but it could be tough doing this with a toddler and working full time. I took A&P I as an accelerated summer course and wanted to pull my hair out, so don't...

I can't think of which specific programs state that if you have a lower gpa than they require, you can apply and explain why your gpa from college was so low. As someone else who had a very difficult...
I know, it's such a predicament! I applied to Columbia and will apply to TJU and Drexel next year if I don't get into Columbia. NYU's too expensive, but it would be my first choice. I would love to go...
Hi, I had written off Columbia because of the expense, but now that I've heard they're giving huge scholarships I've decided to apply. I have enough of the pre-reqs completed (except the sciences) to...
Hi, For all of you who have been accepted, would you mind sharing your GPAs, etc? I'm applying next year for FACT and am worried about gaining acceptance. I think I have a good chance, but this...
Hi CrunchyMama, You dissected a human cadaver in your A&P class?! I thought only med students did that. My A&P class just started, but so far, instead of lectures, you read, read, read and...
Jersey Girl, Can you offer any advice on how to succeed in this class or what to expect? I just started A&P I at Ocean County. I'm excited, but worried, since it's been so long since my last...
