If I were you and were waiting to send answers to other schools, definitely give them a ring! I'm sure it can't hurt you... you're just curious because you have to get back to other schools by a certain date. I feel like it would be inappropriate for me because the deposit deadlines for my other schools are a lil later as of right now so that's the only reason why I'm not! PLEASE let us know the verdict!

So I tried calling...multiple times but no one is answering the phone 🙁

Do people who were accepted mind sharing their stats? Hours? GPA? GRE? Thanks!

Hey! I was waitlisted and then accepted last month. Here's my stats:

Major: Biological Sciences
Minors: Anthropology and Psychology
cGPA: 3.4 (I can't find PTCAS's calculated prereq GPA, but it should be about the same)
GRE Q: 153 V: 164 AW: 4.5
40 Outpatient hours with the VA and ~350 at a normal outpatient clinic

Honestly I think my stats are a bit below average for Columbia, but just goes to show you never know! I worked really hard on my essays and made sure I had great references. I also have a lot of research experience and took a huge variety of classes (lots of advanced bio electives and psych and anthro classes for my minors) which I think is something Columbia likes to see. Hope this helps some! Let me know if you have any questions 🙂 Good luck!

I'm afraid to apply to Columbia DPT due to the expensive housing NYC offers.
How are you guys managing your finances regarding housing/transportation/etc?

Also, any insights on the program so far?
Recommend?

Thanks!

I also really would like to know more about finances/housing! Ive been invited to interview in November and the program and city sounds like a dream to me but the only thing that would hold me back are the costs. Any advice would be helpful and greatly appreciated, thanks! 🙂

Congrats on the interview!

Since I don't live too far, i checked out the facility.
I must say, I was not impressed.
The location is NOT on the main campus, rather it is way up north past Harlem...

I don't want to skew your perception prior to your own judgment during interview day.

Best of luck!

Hey thanks! I appreciate your insight! Im from out of state and have been to the city many times but never to Columbia or the programs facilities so I guess I will have to wait for the interview and see myself. What about it didn't you like? I would appreciate any other info that you might want to share. Best of luck to you as well! 🙂

Building and facility just looks old?
Inside the facility looks old and a little beat-down.

Columbia Med campus is located far beyond north of harlem. So it is not the safest.
Even though it is very north of Manhattan, I heard the rent is still quite expensive.
