NJCU FastTrack BSN Program Admission Requirements

[ashhast]

I'm getting ready to apply to the 2011 FastTrack BSN Program at New Jersey City University. I was wondering what standards people had that were accepted to the program in the past. I know it says 3.0 GPA on a 4.0 Scale (preferred but NOT required) Have people been accepted to this program with a lower GPA? If so, what was it? And what else did you have to excel on in order to get into the program?

dear prospective student,

thank you for your recent application for the fasttrack bsn program. you may check the status of your application by logging in via the file manager system:

your username and password are both your first and last name with a space in between.

note: your username and password are both case sensitive and there is a space in between your first name and last name that must be included.

sample: username: john smith

password: john smith

immediately after logging in, you should change your password to something more secure and known only to you. you will see a button in the bottom left of the screen after logging in labeled as: logout. next to this button there is a small down arrow, and by clicking on this option, it will grant you the ability to change your password.

as admission criteria is received and processed by the nursing department, your file will be updated through this system. as updates are applied to your file, it will automatically generate an email to the email address where you retrieved this memo, indicating all relevant changes.

due to high call volume, please do not contact the nursing department by phone to check the status of your application, rather refer to this database for all updates concerning your application. your file will be updated on an ongoing basis through this system, as items are received by our office.

please note: applicants must register to take the exam no later than the application deadline. jersey city applicants must complete the exam before may 20, 2011. please log on to our website for specific instructions on how to register for the exam: www.njcu.edu/nursing. ; applications that are missing hesi admission exam results will not be considered for admission. once you have taken the exam, we will retrieve the results directly from our database, thus it is not necessary for you to forward exam results.

if transcripts were requested more than six weeks to date, please contact the institution where the request was submitted to determine the format transcripts were sent to the new jersey city university. if more than six weeks have elapsed since a request was submitted to an institution for a transcript(s), and this item remains pending on your status form, there is a strong possibility the transcript(s) may have been sent electronically. nursing department personnel do not have access to retrieve electronic transcripts, therefore it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the admission's department [phone] and speak with a representative that has access to retrieving electronic transcripts. applicants must request that all electronic transcripts be forwarded to our office via interoffice mail.

applications will not be reviewed by the admission committee until the close of the applicationdeadline. applicants will receive a decision letter by mail approximately four to six weeks from the close of the deadline.

it appears that several applicants have not submitted the unemployment waiver form to date. please refer to both attachments to retrieve these forms. electronic submissions are unacceptable, thus both forms must be completed and mailed to my attention.

in closing, our website is an essential tool for you to stay abreast to any updates and changes with the application process, deadlines etc. please refer to our website periodically: www.njcu.edu/nursing to view all updates and announcements.

good luck!
