I have posted this question before but I may have posted it in the wrong place and didn't get too many responses (not the grad school forum?) so I'm trying once again. I'm currently awaiting decisions from Columbia, Yale and BC for their combined RN/...

Hi Sophia2006. I left the Columbia program after a semester to go to medical school so I am not the best person to ask. You are already an RN so you are in a different position, because most people feel that the ETP portion of Columbia is the worst p...

Thank you both for your thoughtful responses -- it was very helpful to read those in making my decision. In the end I decided to go with medical school -- it was a gut feeling and as many times as I made pros and cons lists, the feeling was still th...

I was also accepted to ETP last year. I'd say don't change the margins -- say what you need to say as concisely and clearly as possible. You guys sound like you're all within range of the stats they look for. I think essays and recs are particularly ...

Living in NYC myself I'd say that's probably average for young people living in the city -- but you could definitely be a bit under that if you're frugal, ie, if you have roommates, don't go out as much, don't shop, etc. I always find that I'm surpr...

Hey sgmaygeorge! What did you end up deciding? I ended up going with Columbia -- I spoke with some students who did the program and had overall positive things to say about the experience and said almost everybody had a great experience with placemen...

If I remember correctly, they said that it's a law about having to take three full semesters IN A ROW (hence why you can't take time off between first and second year). Summer session is short (mid may- end of july) compared to fall and spring so I'...

it's not the white pants that have the extra pockets -- it's the unisex pants. the only difference between the women's pants and the unisex pants is the extra pockets, so if you like those, go with it! tsorfia, I'd be interested to hear more about yo...

My last name starts with a K and I seem to have gotten the first call on this forum, so probably not! I got called around 12:00pm NYC time. Columbia accepted applicants day tomorrow -- I have to choose between the two and I'm not totally sure yet, th...

I put my cell phone as my only contact number -- though I suppose they could do either! Probably cell phone, right? I mean, that's what most people use nowadays anyway, I assume.
