    At the info session I attended, they said that ~75% of the students qualified for a need-based scholarship of $25,000. There is also a need-based scholarship in a smaller amount for the DNP portion,...

    Thanks for the offer! I have a couple of questions -- I've heard that Columbia takes a large cohort (~200) and then splits people into smaller groups for labs and clinical. Is this correct, and if so,...
