    Can someone link the Facebook page? I just assumed I would be able to find

    DoulaMe replied to allisonnn's topic in School, College Programs

    Ah, it looks like there IS an official ETP Facebook group

  3. Columbia ETP 2015

    DoulaMe replied to allisonnn's topic in School, College Programs

    NMW, it seems like your gut may be telling you to go to the state school. You should listen to that little voice that is sending alarm bells. Just because Columbia is a great program doesn't...

  4. Columbia ETP 2015

    DoulaMe replied to allisonnn's topic in School, College Programs

    They look at your monthly debt to income ratio the most. I was a real estate agent in a former life. There are certain ratios for different types of

  5. Columbia ETP 2015

    DoulaMe replied to allisonnn's topic in School, College Programs

    I do think it's smart to be concerned though. This much debt should not be entered into lightly. It can impact your life for years to

  6. Columbia ETP 2015

    DoulaMe replied to allisonnn's topic in School, College Programs

    If you pay your loans on time and don't let them go into default you should be fine. I will say that having a high debt payment will impact your debt to income ratio and will likely let you qualify...

  7. Columbia ETP 2015

    DoulaMe replied to allisonnn's topic in School, College Programs

    I know the Yale GEPNs had a facebook page in years past and even did a questionnaire about hosing preferences, level of neatness, etc to help match roommates. Maybe someone who is for sure going to...

  8. Columbia ETP 2015

    DoulaMe replied to allisonnn's topic in School, College Programs

    Honestly, if it is highly rated, I would pick the state school. But I am interested in building my own practice, so less debt is a bonus. What do you want to do with your

  9. Columbia ETP 2015

    DoulaMe replied to allisonnn's topic in School, College Programs

    Just the midwifery portion is 600+ clinical hours and it's hard to find preceptors so you end up all over the country. Yale does this too, to a certain extent, but they keep you in one place and they...

    My specialty is CNM though and it's 3 years at all 3

  11. Columbia ETP 2015

    DoulaMe replied to allisonnn's topic in School, College Programs

    I get similar numbers for all three schools as long as you spend wisely. It's hard to account for how much you will spend moving 3 times all across the country for Vandy's

  12. Columbia ETP 2015

    DoulaMe replied to allisonnn's topic in School, College Programs

    Bumblepea, The international component was one of the reasons I declined Vanderbilt. I wonder if Columbia would tell you your waitlist position for CNM? That might help you with your decision. It's...

  13. Yale 2015

    DoulaMe replied to BellyfullBirth's topic in Post Graduate Students

    My posts are so full of typos. Excuse me! We are very rural so I use my phone for Internet a lot of times and autocorrect just does what it does.

    DoulaMe replied to BellyfullBirth's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Also a lot of the faculty in my specialty at Columbia come from Yale which I thought was

  16. Yale 2015

    DoulaMe replied to BellyfullBirth's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I think what I liked about it was that they seem very close knit. One professor talked about having struggling students over at their house every Sunday morning to make sure they passed. They said...

  17. Yale 2015

    DoulaMe replied to BellyfullBirth's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Has anyone heard back from other schools? Is Yale your first choice? I was lucky enough to get into 2 out of the 3 I applied to (Vandy and Columbia are the two others). I declined Vanderbilt and I'd...

  20. Columbia ETP 2015

    DoulaMe replied to allisonnn's topic in School, College Programs

    Most of the midwifery programs require a BSN and then a couple years of L&D work and then the two year MSN portion, so it would be a significantly greater time investment for me. I could be a CNM...

  21. Columbia ETP 2015

    DoulaMe replied to allisonnn's topic in School, College Programs

    You looked at tuition prior to applying, right? There are options for repayment, including student loan forgiveness in exchange for a few years of your time, scholarships, grants, etc but I do agree...

  22. Vanderbilt MSN 2015

    DoulaMe replied to BHART25's topic in School, College Programs

    I am going to decline my offer (I just need to pull the trigger). So someone on the CNM waitlist will be getting happy news.

  23. Columbia ETP 2015

    DoulaMe replied to allisonnn's topic in School, College Programs

    I am just going to decline my spot at Vandy and use Columbia as my fallback if I don't get into Yale. Trusting my intuition here. Scholarship fairy, look my

  24. Columbia ETP 2015

    DoulaMe replied to allisonnn's topic in School, College Programs

    I don't think that is tuition. I think the tuition is around $150K. It's living off of student loans in NYC, I would guess. Sweet baby Bartholomew, I will be paying my loans in the assisted living...
