  1. Columbia ETP 2016

    emara9 replied to SBCvixen's topic in School, College Programs

    RT_2b_NP: It's been a whirlwind, but it's really rewarding so far. First semester was by far the hardest I've ever gone through, and it takes a lot of motivation and you need to be prepared to have...

  2. Columbia ETP 2016

    emara9 replied to SBCvixen's topic in School, College Programs

    RT_2b_NP: Honestly, I wouldn't be concerned. The GRE is the last thing they look at, it really doesn't have much to do with nursing, it's just another hurdle to get through to be able to apply to grad...

  3. UCSF MEPN 2016

    emara9 replied to SBCvixen's topic in School, College Programs

    I know you asked about people who got in, but just to give you an idea I'll give you my info: UCSF was my top choice, closely followed by Columbia. I had a 3.6 GPA, 3.8 pre-req GPA, have worked as a...

    v.lam827 I feel you there. Totally freaking out, especially because I heard we only get 25k in federal loans (or something along those lines) so the rest has to be private loans I don't have any debt...

    search "Columbia MDE/DNP 2016" and you should find

  7. Columbia ETP 2016

    emara9 replied to SBCvixen's topic in School, College Programs

    I'm debating on-campus housing mainly because of the proximity to campus (I want to be able to walk) and it's generally cheaper. Plus, I've never been to NYC so I have no idea what the areas are like!...

    emara9 replied to SBCvixen's topic in School, College Programs

    Of course! Glad it helped

  9. Columbia ETP 2016

    emara9 replied to SBCvixen's topic in School, College Programs

    I spoke to an NP I used to work for about her opinions and experience as far as MSN NP's and DNP NP's, because I wanted to know if it's worth the extra education and thought I'd share the information...

  10. UCSF MEPN 2016

    emara9 replied to SBCvixen's topic in School, College Programs

    FutureNPisMe, after getting into Columbia, I was INSANELY stressed about having to decide between UCSF and Columbia, even though I hadn't even gotten into UCSF yet. I didn't really see Columbia as...

  11. Columbia ETP 2016

    emara9 replied to SBCvixen's topic in School, College Programs

    Wow! The universe just made my decision for me it looks like... I was rejected from UCSF, so I guess Columbia it is

  12. UCSF MEPN 2016

    emara9 replied to SBCvixen's topic in School, College Programs

    I didn't get in

  13. UCSF MEPN 2016

    emara9 replied to SBCvixen's topic in School, College Programs

    Thank you, you too! It was a backup for me too, but thankfully that's not an issue anymore

  14. UCSF MEPN 2016

    emara9 replied to SBCvixen's topic in School, College Programs

    fpjc and sml14, great to know. I really don't even think I'm going to bother with them then. I've gotten into Columbia and MGH at this point, I don't see the point in wasting my time trying to get...

  15. UCSF MEPN 2016

    emara9 replied to SBCvixen's topic in School, College Programs

    Wow. Did anyone else apply to Seattle U? I just got an email asking me to interview in four days.... and I live across the country. Talk about unorganized. I'm going to have to tell them I can't...

  16. Columbia ETP 2016

    emara9 replied to SBCvixen's topic in School, College Programs

    I agree with Oaklandpoppy on that one as well- just going into the MDE portion may not be worth the extra cash over MGH. Another thing to think about is career years- if you're young than MAYBE it's...

  17. UCSF MEPN 2016

    emara9 replied to SBCvixen's topic in School, College Programs

    Yay! I've been losing sleep over all of this... but can't make any decisions until I hear from UCSF

  18. Columbia ETP 2016

    emara9 replied to SBCvixen's topic in School, College Programs

    What are some views on MSN vs DNP? I don't want to regret going to the "quicker" program and just getting an MSN, to later in my career find out that getting a DNP would have been more beneficial. I...

    AspiringFNP30, thanks SO much for that info! Although it did make my decision a ton harder it was great information to know. I've been really wondering about some of these details, and learning about...

    I believe it said March

  21. UCSF MEPN 2016

    emara9 replied to SBCvixen's topic in School, College Programs

    I don't blame you, congrats!! If I get rejected from UCSF, my decision is basically made (Columbia). But if I don't... it's going to be a rough few weeks! But can't complain about deciding between the...

  22. UCSF MEPN 2016

    emara9 replied to SBCvixen's topic in School, College Programs

    So far I've gotten into Columbia and MGH. UCSF has always been my top, but after getting into Columbia it'll be a little harder of a decision than I thought. So I'd LOVE to hear back ASAP so I can...

  23. Columbia ETP 2016

    emara9 replied to SBCvixen's topic in School, College Programs

    I doubt there's anything like this but just wanted to check- are there discounted hotel rates near campus for people affiliated with the university? UCSF had a discounted rate at a hotel up the street...

  24. UCSF MEPN 2016

    emara9 replied to SBCvixen's topic in School, College Programs

    I've been hearing back from a bunch of schools this week, and I'm now going crazy about UCSF decisions!! I'm ready to make an official decision between my options. I really hope we know before the end...

    I would love to hear about people's reasons for making Columbia their #1
