Hello, I was wondering if someone can post the Links for the HESI study Guide. Thanks Alicia

Thanks NurseGradHopeful. I do want to go to Columbia. I have 2 degrees from Columbia and I actually am quite fond of the individuals I have met on my journey's both faculty and students. The academic environment has been rewarding to me in my opinion. But this is not Nursing, this was in the Counseling. I am excited to begin the journey, once I can get in. I will look into my options for GRE, as far as testing prep courses. I figure it is worth it, because I need it for my future and the future of patients. I am excited to start the process again though. I have to Be. Thanks

@PsychLisa11, Thanks for the reply. Your reply actually made me feel like I am not losing it. Thanks again for it. What other programs did you apply to? I Live In NYC, so I should start researching options outside of CU. I think I may also need to take that GRE prep course as well Although it pains me to pay that money. It for the good of my application. The grief is just setting in that I was rejected. Not a good feeling, but I guess I have to sit with it. Lici

Oh and Congratulations to all who were accepted. Best of Luck in all you endeavors. Those of us who were not accepted, Best of Luck as well. Lici

Question: For those who were accepted into the Psych NP program, what were your GRE scores? What are your goals for entering the program. Anyone care to share? I ask because I was not accepted. And I would like to prepare my application to be stronger for next year. I have received A's in my Pre Reqs GPA, my BA GPA was 3.7, but my GRE score was 970 or so. I was inducted into psychology hall of fame; I have worked inpatient, outpatient, I have 2 masters degrees from Teachers COllege Columbia University in Mental Health Counseling and Edm in Psychological counseling. I am very saddened, but I think it is all due to my GRE score. I also would like to know have there been people to first get denied and then get accepted eventually. And pointers you may have will be greatly appreciated, because I am not a good standardized test taker. Thanks

The whole process is nerve wracking. Which ever the acceptance rate it, I hope I am in that number. Now, I am thinking I probably shouldnt have put all my hope in one basket...I will tell you if I change my mine, after I get the decision. Let's keep our fingers crossed. Here is to hope!

@ TanyaPMHNP, Hi:) My GRE score was below the 1200 (50th percentile) it was like a 970 or something. I just worry you know. BUT I do hope we will be able to study together one day. :) Thanks for the vote of confidence. Best Regards to you as welll.

Hello All. I applied for the Summer 2011, ETP program. Hopefully I will be a candidate for the PsychNP class. I am so anxious, excited for the news of whether or not my application was good enough for the nursing school at COlumbia University. I have two previous masters degrees from Columbia University, Teachers College in Mental Health COunseling and Education. But this is different! This is the career I've always wanted. I just hope my application is good enough. I worry because: my GRE scores were from 4 years ago, and they were a under 1200. My undergraduate scores were awesome at a 3.8. ANd I am currently taking the Prereqs which are averaging at a 4.0, so far. I currently work for COlumbia University in a Mental Health Clinic. WHo knows what the future holds though. We will see. Good Luck to all.

Hello, I decided to apply for ETP 2011, instead of wait another year, I have attended several of the sessions and found them to be enlightening. I have changed my essay several times over the past 2 months, I was wondering if anyone had any problems with the 2 page limit. I have so much to say, so are there any ways around this. I have increased the rulers (side boarders) but I think this may be a problem. Anyone experience the same issues?
