Getting into NYU Accelerated Nursing Program

3.0 is pretty good

References is a must

and it adds to your application

Hi All,

I am too a NYU hopeful. I am applying in October for the January 2010 Accelerated BSN program. I'm wondering what the GPA requirements are or suggested grades one should receive in the prereq? I'm kind of worried because I got a B- in A&P 1 and I took A&P 2 this summer and got a C. Should I take it over or just continue on to micro and nutrition and focus on doing well in those two? I'm so stressed about that last grade.

hello im new to allnurses and am applying to NYU accelerated program in October. i wanted to ask all of you who got into the program (btw congrats!) if you think i might have a chance of getting in for spring 2010.

I have a BA from UC Santa Cruz in Anthropology with a undergraduate gpa of 3.38. For pre-rec i have: A's in Stat, physiology, Nutrition, Psy. B's in microbio and anatomy. And a C in chemsitry.

I have letters of recs from my microbio professor and employer at Planned parenthood. I volunteered at Planned p for about 5 months before i began working there.

I am wondering if i have a chance of getting in with a C in chemistry. Also would applying before the application deadline increase my chance of getting in?

Hey guys! I am applying to spring 2010 as well. My only prob right now is finding that darn nutrition requrement. Has anyone found a cheap online course besides University of Phoenix?

I am a little worried about getting in. During college I was sick and have a terrible GPA, but my current prerequisite marks are really good. I was talking to another girl on a different thread and she helped me. Search suny downstate on this site

Finally, has anyone figured out how they are gonna pay for this? I currently work for Nyu and will have to quit my job to go to school here. Btw how funny are some of those essays. I am contacting the school today to make sure we only have to do
a few.

Hey Kirham - SUNY offers a TON of classes online - I'm not sure if it's too late to sign up for the semester, but check out www.sln.suny.edu. They list all the online courses offered by every SUNY school in the state, and the rates are super-low if you are in-state. I took a Developmental Psych course through them earlier this year.

Congrats to those who got in!! :-)

This is a repost from another thread:

Hey all!

I got into NYU too, for Spring 2010. Is there a FB page started for our cohort? I have SOO many questions, esp. since I never had a chance to visit. (How much is tuition? Are there jobs lined up for us at NYU's medical center after graduation?)

Feel free to email me. Let me know if I should start a Spring 2010 group on FB.

hi everyone,
I got my acceptance letter in the mail a few days ago and am wondering about housing. It seems like all on campus housing is a shared room situation. I would rather have my own room. Is anyone thinking of living off campus? Does anyone need a roommate? Thanks Hannah
