NYC is about an hour and a half to two hours away from Orange/New Haven via MetroNorth (West Haven or Union Station). Yes, students go to the big apple from time to time! :) Either just to visit, or even to go to conferences there. Depending on your ...
Be aware that YSN is no longer in New Haven, but on "West Campus" which is in Orange, CT, 15-20 minutes west of New Haven. It's more suburbia there, and not crappy in the sense that New Haven is.

Yes, midwifery seems to be the most competitive. For this year's incoming class, they had the highest GPA and GRE scores. The breakdown in specialty seems to differ from year to year.

Honestly it's really hard to say. The GRE is just one of many components they look at, so there's probably a somewhat decent variety of scores amongst admitted applicants.

Hi - I applied to Hopkins for 2011 start. From my applications, Yale was the only one that had a fall start - all my other applications had summer starts. My acceptance for JHU this year was really weird - they had a ton of trouble communicating with...

In general, good prices for California to NYC roundtrip would be around $300. Not sure what prices would be like with 1 week to buy. Also, instead of JFK, consider Newark (EWR). It's probably easier to get to Columbia from Newark than JFK. Just take ...
(This is just a guess: ) Every year, the midwifery (and anesthesia) program selects certain number of students to their respective programs. They have already selected their class for midwifery. Columbia allows you to switch in and out of specialties...
I think she meant north/south of the 1/A line. For Metro North (not familiar with the LIRR), the stops are either 125th Harlem or Grand Central, and neither are convenient to get to Columbia. I have a kid and don't know if the city (and its public sc...
Is a car commute possible? I just figured car + NYC was a bad idea. I was thinking it might actually be easier to go down all the way to grand central then switch to the subway and ride north... I do realize living in Jersey might be easier (NE Corri...
Is anyone planning to commute and not live in the city? I would love to live in the suburbs (CT maybe?) but the public commute doesn't seem too friendly...

Hi Tanya, I'm in San Diego. I'm still trying to sort out my travel plans. Last flight out of New Haven is 3pm, and the last flight out of Hartford is 5:30pm... looks like I'll have to stay an additional night and leave in the morning? It's looking li...

I got an interview for Midwifery. Are there any other West-Coasters considering flying out to the interview on the 20th? How are you making travel arrangements?
