[mordydovid]

Hi everyone! I'm applying for the NYU Spring 2015 ABSN program and haven't been able to find any threads about the program yet. Feel free to post questions you have or to share information about the program, your personal stats, advice for writing the personal statement or just to say hi. Here's to speedy acceptances and a fun future in nursing! :)

My Stats:

Worked as a Direct Care Worker for 1 year

Volunteer in Methodist Hospital in the Stepdown Unit

Hey everyone! Just got my application in and am already anxious over finding out the decision. Where is everyone from? I used to live in NY but am currently living in Florida finishing up my last semester of prereqs. Good luck to all!

Hi everyone! I'll be applying for the Fall 2015 cohort. I am curious as to the stats of accepted applicants. Thanks!

I'm from Seattle. My undergrad GPA is 3.91 and my prereqs GPA is 3.95. I'm working full time in the nutrition department of a hospital here, and I am volunteering in a cancer center in my community. I'm eager to know whether New York University will choose me to be a part of their group this year, and how the hell I'm going to be able to pay for it.

Hey guys!! So whenever I try to log on to Albert, it logs me in but it takes me to a blank page is anyone else having trouble with it? Also I was going to call and ask but do you think they would take Organic Chem as a fill in for the pre-req or it has to be General chem?

[mordydovid]

If you had a recommendation letter sent in where would you be able to see if they got it? My Albert checklist doesn't have any checkbox for that. Also mine still doesn't have the transcripts marked off but that may be them just taking time to get that done, I had it sent even before my application was sent in.

Who here is from and lives in NYC?

[spaceshuttleboy]

How do you get into Albert? Is it the same page as where you submitted your application?

[mordydovid]

I got an email shortly after sending in the application that told me my Net ID and it gave a link to use to get to Albert or you can go to the NYU home page and click login on the top of the page

[spaceshuttleboy]

Thanks. I navigated through the Net ID page and saw Login to Albert on the left. It shows my documents being complete, but they haven't checked off my undergraduate transcript. I'm not worried, though. I had called them weeks before after it had been sent to verify that they did receive it, which they did. Other documents I've since sent are checked off. I suppose it is still being processed.

If you guys attend NYU, are you planning on practicing in NYC afterwards? I've been told the market there is very tough. This is something factoring into my decision to attend, if accepted. The cost of living does bite very deeply into new grad salaries making you earn comparatively less than if you were in another state. What do you guys think?

[mordydovid]

@spaceshuttleboy does your checklist have a spot on it for additional documents or recommendation letters?

I would love to work in NYC, I've been working to make myself known and useful in one of them for the past few months and so far the staff has loved me and even recommended I apply for a job there. But it is true that living here is incredibly expensive but I think you get a lot for what you pay, there is so much NYC offers to its residents in things to do and sights to see. I've lived here my whole life and still haven't seen all of it. This is coming from a born and raised Brooklyn boy so I may be a bit biased to this place :)
