@allisonnn - Divobari2's insight on GRE prep is spot on. I wish I found Magoosh a bit earlier in my study plan (they have plans on their blog too!) I would also suggest combing through threads from previous year's. Though there isn't a perfect equati...

My checklist also reads the same.

Wow, ColumbiauniFNP, thanks so much for your input! @sweet03nesy - Unless I hear otherwise from CUSON, I will be submitting my FAFSA as soon as possible. Don't worry about the loans prior to acceptance, because loans cannot go into effect without add...

Hello everyone! Hope you've all been enjoying the holiday season. Just checking to see if anyone has received notification from Columbia about their application being forwarded to the admissions committee? I haven't received anything yet (status is ...

@ newmy123 - I second everything mgh26 and wellthen have said. In my opinion, tying in your experiences will help them understand you better and may help you stand out as a candidate. Good luck! :) @ Mewei - Totally not a silly question...actually --...

As far as I know, it is not rolling admissions. On their website, Columbia promises a decision for all applicants who submit by the deadline. It's my understanding that February is the month all applicants are notified.

p_shannon12 - Thank you so much for the excellent words of wisdom!

Oh no! That is a bummer and I am sorry to hear about your situation! I would definitely recommend speaking with a counselor/academic advisor first. They might be able to override the course repetition block. If not, it might be easier all together to...

Hooray!! Congrats!

It's definitely been a challenge sticking to 2 pages. As it stands right now, I have managed to shave down the verbiage to 2-pages, but keep going back for edits. There is so much I want to say and I am really concerned that the "shaved-down version"...

Wow Mewei! Very impressive stats! To me, you seem like a strong candidate. I am certainly rooting for you! :) Marissa - I second Mewei's thoughts on the value of a professor's LOR.

Hi CarefulCare! Love those inspirational words and congrats on getting straight As!! I just finished all my pre-reqs, but know reading something like this at the beginning would have been very motivational. Hope we all get into the programs we are ap...

Cute story! I didn't suspect the slide until you mentioned it!

Congrats!

I'm also from California with undergrad studies in Behavioral Sciences - hoping to enter the FNP specialty. At this point, I am pretty close to finishing my application. Still waiting on one LOR and keep going back to my personal statement for little...

@ARickli - Thank you so much for your insight! Hearing your experiences make me excited for what might be ahead. How is everyone doing on their applications? Only a few weeks until the deadline and I am nervously waiting for one recommender!!

Great job!! I'm sure you have made a big difference in your patients' lives.

Woo hoo!! Congrats!

@mgh26 Welcome! Happy to have another FNP applicant here! @ARickli Thank you for offering your help! You couldn't have described my current state of mind any better! I have some questions: 1) The first summer is reputed for being an extremely rigoro...

@sweet03nesy - Thank you so much for the insight! Hoping the application goes live soon!

Hi everyone! I am applying for the FNP specialty this Fall. I am very anxious to begin the application process! :) Does anyone have insight on the online letters of recommendation process? It has been eons since I have had to ask for letters of recs,...
