Hi Mindlor, I just logged in and it worked fine. Did you use this site? (Columbia University) Student Log In

Thanks luvnola!

Anyone else log into the SSOL and check to see if they have any holds? I would suggest doing it, I've just found out health services has not uploaded my clearance forms. I submitted them in March! Repeated phone calls, emails etc have not been ret...

Mindlor, I was thinking the same thing! So I went on the uni site and looked mine up. It took a minute or two, had to use the advanced tool to get it to work. Once there you can activate your email and log in to the ssol site. Hope this helps.

For financial aid/scholarship you can go to this site: https://studentviewer.finaid.columbia.edu/ Once there enter your CUID and then for password its mmddyyyy(so 2 digit month, 2 digit day, 4 digit year) The government info is not loaded yet but the...

I can second sportsgirlly, I received an email from the director of financial aid saying I'd gotten the scholarship and should log in to see it. Only the scholarship info is available right now, not the federal aid. BethNP, you can always call the ...

Just so you aren't surprised (I was when I got my financial aid offer from other schools)...the government subsidized award is capped at $5,500 (I believe) for undergrad study. The remainder of your government loans accrue interest right off the bat...

Thanks KHnurse2B!

I too got the email but I also sent in my deposit. It came from the same man who sent out most of our email communications - Mr. JV. I called the office on financial aid and spoke to someone in the office. They mentioned they are still working on...

The other thing I'd point out is the housing office said, at accepted students day, you can call and or email them about housing in the neighborhood. I guess they keep a list of reputable landlords. They seemed really friendly and helpful, worth a s...

Hi Dizzy et al, I spoke to a current student this week as well as the Financial Aid office. 1) Scrubs - 2 sets work well for most. My understanding is they are just for clinicals. You can wear street clothes for class etc. We do however need the...

Has anyone received their financial aid offer or have any info on when we might? Thanks!

Not yet, but I did get the hard copy of my acceptance letter this weekend (I'm a west coaster).

There is also an ADN pathway at UCSF. You complete your bachelors and then move on to your masters work. Here is the info, good luck! http://nurseweb.ucsf.edu/www/ps-ad.htm

Lucy, I think I can answer one of your questions. The two professors who did my Midwifery session said you definitely need a dependable car. Placements can be up to an hour away. Biddy, is this true? And, I'm leaning towards Yale too! I am still...

Mindlor, I know you probably mean it as a compliment to all the "single ladies" (I now have the Beyonce song in my head) but comments like that can come across as off putting and uncomfortable.

eazye, Congrats on both schools! From and outside perspective it seems like what it boils down to is which specialty you are more interested in? FNP or CNM? From the Yale acceptance letter it doesn't seem like you can switch specialties? Good luc...

Yay Catherine! Hopefully we'll all get to meet up in NY and compare notes!

Rowan630, Don't think there is another visiting day at Yale. See you at Columbia visiting day. Would love to talk about both programs with you!

I'm in as well for midwifery! Congrats to everyone who's heard, fingers crossed for everyone else!

Rowan630, I live in SF and can tell you a little bit about UCSF/the environment for future midwives. San Francisco is a really great place to live and the birth environment is unsurpassed. The birth community is really into helping the SF bay area...

I did too, I thought your name sounded familiar! I was the blond in the grey suit if you remember. I am going to accepted students day. Are you?

CatherineLee, I'm in for midwifery too (at Columbia) and anxiously waiting for Yale. What Yale interview day were you at? A good thread is going here about Columbia: https://allnurses.com/ny-nursing-programs/columbia-etp-2010-a-414945.html

Operadoula, No kids yet but hubby and I are thinking of trying during the masters years. I think we are crazy but we'll see what it's like. You and the rest of the folks can give me tips when and if it comes time

Money is freaking me out too! I imagine we are all in the same boat...honored and excited to be accepted...worried about financing our educations?! I did not get mine yet. I think we should hear something this week or next. Anyone know?
