To All, if you can, please join the facebook Group "NYU College of Nursing", post some of your questions on there. I'm trying to have them have a message board or link to one to help everyone answer there questions. This really wont help you but it will help the future applicants.

thanks

Hi,

I've been reading through this thread (and actually just joined the facebook group mentioned above and friended Joe). I have just been accepted into the accelerated program also. I think I might have to start in the winter because I have two more pre-reqs to finish up (A&P and Nutrition). Do I start these in the fall then? I don't know if anyone would know this but I was actually wondering if it's possible to recieve some tuition reimbursement after or during completion of this program. Maybe by becoming employed doing something at a hospital and promising to work for them or something? (I don't really know much about this). I'm already deep in loans from the college I'm graduating from now (another private school) and NYU is kinda pricey, but I feel like I'd really like it there. I know there's financail aide still to figure out...Pleeeeasssee let me know if there's a way for this reimbursement tho...

Hi. I'm new here and am hoping to get some help/info about the NYU Accelerated Nursing Program (January Admission)... Specifically, I'm looking to gauge my chances of acceptance, as I'm not exactly sure how competitive admission is...

I graduated from Boston U in '02 with a degree in Advertising and worked in Market Research as a Project Manager for about 3-4 years... and like many people on this forum, I decided I'd had enough of that line of work, and subsequently took an interest in Nursing. In the last year, I've finished up all but one of my pre-reqs and sciences at Westchester Community with a 4.0 (i'm squeezing in Micro come July), and am looking to apply for January admission to the NYU 15-Month Program... I volunteered for 3 months last summer at a hospital in Westchester with the nurses in the Ambulatory Unit, and recently started a Tech Associate Position at the same hospital in the Cardio-Pulm Unit...

Now, what is worrying me about possible rejection to this program is my spotty undergrad career... I finished up at BU with a not-a-so-hot 3.19 GPA in a pretty 'cake' Advertising program... but I also transferred a lot before I settled at BU; making stops at BC, a horrible semester at NYU, and a pointless semester at Manhattanville... suffice it to say, my undergrad career is not what you'd consider normal and I regret moving around so much to this day... Now, 6 years later, I'm a totally different person and a more focused student; and I'm hoping that this comes off to the Admissions Committee... My pre-req sciences are excellent (A's in A&P1/2, Chem, Nutrition, Stats, etc. and I'm hoping the trend continues with Micro this summer)... Being a guy also should not hurt... but i'm really just hoping my past doesn't come back to haunt me...

I'm also applying to the Pace Combined Degree Program for January Admission and am not sure how my chances are with that program as well... I'm trying to apply to programs with Spring Admission so I can start as early as possible and avoid having to begin in the Fall of 2009... And I'm a little nervous that right now I will only be applying to 2 schools, and if I don't get in to either of them I pretty much have to wait another year... Does anyone else know any other area programs with January Admission?

Anyway, sorry my first post is longer than some novels... I appreciate any help.

i feel bad bc this is an nyu forum but i was wondering if there were still anyone waiting to hear back from pace. i still havent heard from them but i applied early may so that's pretty late. i'm on the waitinglist for emory.

also, as for the bsn/msn program, do you guys know if pursuing msn is mandatory?

and i agree with everyone: waiting game sucks.

Hi foodrobot, yeah I was accepted into the NYU program for the fall term, but I think just to take the two pre-reqs I need (A&P and Nutrition) and then I start into the accelerated program in the winter. To be honest my GPA is currently the same right now...3.19. I should graduate with a 3.2 something, but i doubt much higher and was still the 3.19 when I applied. I'm graduating June 15 from Union College in upstate NY. However, I think NYU focuses more on the science pre-reqs and what GPA you have with those...I had mostly As and if not high Bs in the ones I've taken. I don't know a lot about NYU either tho and am trying to figure stuff out as well. I was going to apply for winter session to Pace's Combined degree program too and am still deciding on that. I have all my recommendations and transcripts in and the essay done for it, I just need to finish the application if I decide to send it.

foodrobot,

when you apply, elaborate on everything you've written in your post on your personal statement. I was in a similar boat as you (and have a number of f's on my transcript from stumbling around years prior)

you should be good...

Hi Michellebk,

About Pace - I think as somebody mentioned before, the more you talk to them the earlier you'll hear. I popped in to see the Graduate Admissions head, Susan Ford - she is really friendly, and I found out a few days later that I got in.

You can just do the BN part in 12 months and decide about the masters after.

I'm still trying to decide between 3 schools, Pace being one of them so if anybody knows anyone currently on the accelerated nursing program it would be great to hear from them.

Thanks

Hi everyone!

I was just wondering if anyone is still looking for a roomate? I am planning on attending the 15 month accelerated program in the fall and am currently looking for a roomate..preferably someone that is also going to be in the nursing school just like me. If you are interested please PM me. Are most people just going into dorms out of curiosity or living off campus?
