Thanks!!

I think that they only take the GRE -- I could be wrong. And yes, they don't review your application until it is complete. Good luck!!!!

Does anybody have any info on the 26th street housing? it looks like it is close to the dental school which is where our school is? I don't really know.

it is close to the dental school but it's not where are classes are, from what I heard 26th st is the oldest/worst building and its 3 blocks away from the subway. its popular for med students since its across from the NYU hospital

I GOT IN TOO!!!!!! GOODNESS THIS IS EXCITING! HOWEVERRRR....idk if i'm gonna go because I also got accepted to this school in Nevada called Touro University and i think it'd be a great opportunity to get out of NY since I'm from here and would like to experience a new environment...

Just got my acceptance letter today!!! But now I'm in a real bind, I actually started nursing school today at loyola univ in Chicago and only have today and tomorrow to receive full tuition refund .. and I don't know what to do!!! It has been my dream to go to NYU and live there but its about 30,000 more than Loyola and I'll likely be funding this all with loans. Any opinions would be great. Also, anyone receive their financial aid packet already? I don't know what to expect. Anyone know the max in stafford loans you can take out in a year for independent?

[weebs21]

I say go where it is least expensive. 30k is a ton of cash!!I know what you mean though sometimes you get hour heart set on something!

[At7itudeGyal]

for independent students u can take out $5000 unsubsidized and $5500 subsidized.

i say stay where u are too b/c it's significantly cheaper and save yourself all the hassle. In the end you'll get the same education, have to take the same NCLEX, and you'll earn the same license as ALL other nurses. You said it's been your dream to live here in NY...look at it this way: you can always work here as a nurse. Starting salaries here are much higher than most places (since cost of living is so expensive) but still...you won't be completing deferring your dream. jus my opinion...hope it helps!

O, and I've decided not to go to NYU I'm gonna go to the school I got accepted to in Nevada. this was a tough decision for me cuz i've ALWAYS wanted to go to NYU. but i'm taking a chance and leavin NY. the other school's a pretty good school too and MUCH CHEAPER! Amen! lol

Hi everyone! I just stumbled upon this page and I can't believe that I was waiting alone by myself also! (well, almost by myself... I was on the NYU forum).

Congrats to everyone who got in; to those who haven't yet--don't worry, you'll receive a reply soon~! I got my acceptance just last week (it was dated 5/13).

I was definitely sitting on pins and needles. Just the week before, one of my preclinical classmates from BMCC got her denial letter. NYU said that there were just too many applicants this year to hold her a spot and wait for her transcript (as she's still missing microbio and nutrition even after the end of this spring semester).

Does anyone know when they let us know about scholarships? And how much we receive if we do? I know someone mentioned NYU is pretty stingy with them... *sigh*

to all, thanks for the informative posts... i hope to see you all in the fall!

congrats!

to check your financial aid awards, you can access the information via ALBERT from NYU home page. you should have received information with your acceptance packet. Also, you should receive financial aid information in the mail shortly.
