  1. Columbia ETP 2016

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

    Thank you! That made me feel better about it. I read over it so many times and my brain clearly filled in the gap... until after I submitted of course! I'm sure it's not a huge deal, they read so many...

  2. Columbia ETP 2016

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

    Freaking out and need some reassurance! I re-used a paragraph from my Columbia essay for another school I'm applying to, and I just read it over again and SOMEHOW I left out a word in one of the...

  3. Columbia ETP 2016

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

    I have a question about uploading an unofficial transcript onto the application- I attended a community college for about half of my undergrad credits, then transferred to a university. The community...

    Thank you! Found it under the instructions tab. Good

  5. Columbia ETP 2016

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

    Quick question- I thought I read that we don't have to send our official GRE scores until we get accepted but now I can't find it anywhere including on the test score page on the application. Do we...

  6. UCSF MEPN 2016

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

    Hey everyone! Make sure you check your bank statements- I got charged twice for the UCSF application fee. The first time it said error, and when I logged back in it still said it was unpaid so I...

    Great to know!

  9. UCSF MEPN 2016

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

    I know this is jumping the gun but I'm curious about this in general: anyone know anything about grad student housing? Not just UCSF but in general. I couldn't find anything on the website about it...

  10. Columbia ETP 2016

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

    Hey everyone- been focusing on my UCSF app and now I'm moving on to Columbia. I'm still a bit confused by the whole process as well. As for the pre-reqs, I emailed them and they did tell me that all...

  11. UCSF MEPN 2016

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

    Officially submitted... figured I would submit a few hours early because it would be my luck to try and submit at 11pm and it not work! My last recommender submitted their letter at 10pm last night,...

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

    I keep editing and editing and editing that goal statement. Getting so nervous!! Good luck in the last few days

  13. UCSF MEPN 2016

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

    I feel the same way... can't seem to feel confident enough to submit! I definitely want to submit before the deadline, at least a day before, but I may or may not have to have some liquid courage to...

  14. UCSF MEPN 2016

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

    Great, so sounds like a pretty simple process. I was hoping that my recommenders would start writing the letters when I first asked them about it 2 or so months ago, but I guess that wasn't the case...

  15. UCSF MEPN 2016

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

    Just found the quote: "At the deadline, the application is locked and no more applicant-submitted material can be accepted. The application will continue to receive third-party submissions (such as...

  16. UCSF MEPN 2016

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

    I can't remember exactly where I read it, but either on the MEPN page or on the application somewhere it says that third parties such as recommenders and transcript orders etc. don't have to be in on...

  17. UCSF MEPN 2016

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

    I sent a one-week reminder to all my recommenders that the letters are due in about a week. Two of them told me they never got the email request, which I sent on the 8th... Has anyone else come across...

  18. UCSF MEPN 2016

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

    I think it said something like "ending or present date" so I put the day that I filled out the experience section. I think it says somewhere else on there that it is my current employer so they know...

  19. UCSF MEPN 2016

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

    How long is everyone's goal statement turning out to be? It says "approximately 2 double-spaced pages," and I know shorter is usually better, but mine is about 2 double-spaced pages and 4-5 lines on a...

  20. UCSF MEPN 2016

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

    I feel the same way... I have no clue how to really approach those questions, what types of things to put, how long it should be, and if it's even necessary to answer them. I'm assuming it should be...

  21. UCSF MEPN 2016

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

    I feel the same way. I've written the "additional background information" ones (roughly), and the goal and personal history statements I've barely started on because I have no clue where to even...

  22. UCSF MEPN 2016

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

    @KRC0121: I think I remember seeing that somewhere? But honestly, I could be thinking about another school as many schools require stats to have been in the past 5 years. I just looked at the...

  23. UCSF MEPN 2016

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

    I have another general question for you guys: I've been looking at the letters of rec requirements, and most of the programs state that at least one letter should be academic. I have one letter lined...

    That's right, unit means semester unit, AKA 3 per class (unless there's a

  25. UCSF MEPN 2016

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

    I'm finally done with my pre-reqs meaning I can start on applications now and I've been making my official application list and have some confusion. This is sort of a general question (assuming...
