    dedicatedone replied to ARickli's topic in New York Nursing

    Haha. If you're hearing voices, that's a definite sign! Best advice is to sit back and breath. I didn't hear about my acceptance this year until early February. I believe early decisions were made...

  23. Columbia ETP Program 2012 entry

    dedicatedone replied to melevang's topic in Post Graduate Students
