NP_to_be

Hi, Does anyone know if the notifications will come by email or regular mail? Thanks.

Hi- I am also applying for admission in January, 2011. I live in Washington, DC now. Are any of you attending the Open House? I will be there so I hope to meet some of you then. I am not a perfect applicant, either. I don't have an awesome GPA from undergrad but I do have health care experience. Like someone else mentioned, it's all about diversity. I have found that my health care experience isn't always beneficial...it just depends. Good luck to all of you and I hope we meet soon! Michelle

Hello, I also applied to the accelerated program. I was told end of April/beginning of May...I am anxiously awaiting! If I hear anything I will let you know. Good luck to you both. Michelle

Brit, I think the waitlist is an excellent place to be. Many people don't accept the offer, especially at Columbia, because of the cost. I was waitlisted at two schools last year and got accepted into both. I decided to wait a year so I could save some cash...Congrats!

Hi everyone, Congratulations to everyone. I also got accepted into the acute care track! Now I have to do some creative financing... Michelle

Hi, I am also applying to Columbia. I have spoken to many grads and although I have heard mixed things the NPs I know who attended the program liked it. I have to take the GRE this Saturday and I am sort of feeling unprepared for it! My college GPA is 3.5 and I have a MSW with a 4.0 GPA. I currently work in a hospital as a pediatric social worker. I heard at the information session that nearly 99% of students get that $30k scholarship! Good luck to everyone. If you have any words of wisdom for the GRE, please share!!!! Michelle

Hi Colleen! Are you moving from out of state? I am coming from NYC. I would love to hear anything you know about the area, including places to live, etc. Thanks, Michelle

Hang in there. I can say that if it's your passion, don't give up! The right school/opportunity will present itself. Hang in there. I know the frustration but you will find a good fit! Good luck! michelle

Hi, I was just accepted into UVM MEPN program and I am looking to chat with others who will attend this program! Thanks, Michelle

Thank you so much! It is a bummer, but good just to know...

Thanks Jalin, Did you also apply this year? I called today and I was put through to voicemail. Michelle

Hi, I haven't heard anything either. I was under the impression I would receive correspondence by email, but not a word!! Does anyone have any updates? Thanks.
