Pace University BSN/MA- Westchester, Spring 2010

U.S.A. New York

Published

Hello all!

Has anyone applied to Pace University's combined degree program in Westchester for this coming Spring? I just applied and I am anxiously awaiting my acceptance or rejection notice. I haven't taken the GRE yet (will do in August).

If anyone feels comfortable sharing their GRE scores or GPA, and whether or not they were accepted, I would be really appreciative.

Also, maybe if I get accepted, we could start getting to know each other before the semester starts.

Good luck to all! :up:

Hello all - just joined. I also applied for the Spring 2010 session...waiting to hear now. Am finishing Micro and Chem this semester. I'm from the Newburgh area..anyone from up this way? Has anyone else gotten their letter yet?

Hi me, too. When did you apply? I'm from north Salem, NY.

I applied about 4 weeks ago. I did talk to Mitch in Admissions about a week ago. Pace wanted updates from the professors of the two classes I'm taking now. Shouldn't be an issue since I'm doing fine. So, hopefully, I'll know soon. My back up is Dominican in May 2010. I have been accepted, but need to finish my pre-reqs plus BioChem.

Oh, really??? Very interesting because I applied and haven't heard anything. I suspect I'm on the bubble, which it sounds like may have been the case with you, too.

Would you mind sharing with me what you got in your undergrad, prerequisites, and GRE's? Also, did he call and ask you for this information, or did he ask you in a letter? I sent him an email offering to put him in touch with my profs but he hasn't responded.

Call them and ask to speak with someone about your file. Ask them directly if they want any progress reports.

I think I have to. UGGGGH! He's had my complete application materials since Aug. 11.

I have a BBA (from Pace) Summa cum Laude (3.9), was President of National Honor Society, blah blah blah...PLUS the head of the Mkts Dept there wrote 1 of my reccos. I have all A's in prerequisites except for A&P I and II, both of which I took this summer over 4 weeks after not being in college for 20 years, and got C+'s in both. If you count the stats and psych and everything, my prerequisite GPA is a 3.5, but I fell just shy of the 1000 they wanted in the Math and Verbal on the GRE's... I did get a 5.5/6.0 in the writing and he said thy wanted a 4 so I'm hoping that makes up for it. :confused:

Thanks for he response. I'll have to talk to Mitch on Monday.

... I'm just curious. Did you apply and have you heard? Sorry if you've already posted that info. The thread is somewhat confusing.

We may be confusing Westchester with NYC. Did you apply to the full time BSN/MSN day program in Pleasantville?

Hi - not sure who you were addressing, but I applied to the full-time day program in Pleasantville.

I know. haha. I'm somewhat clumsy with this thread for some reason! If you scroll back a page, Jjean said that Mitch told her that the only admissions notifications that have gone out at this point were those for people who deferred their admission to Spring 2010 from an earlier time..., yet Huffman1980 says this is the first time he applied... I just wondered if maybe they were applying to different programs, but it appears that they were not.

Actually, I have a question for you....you said you spoke to Mitch last week and he asked for mid-semester reports from professors on classes you're currently taking. Did you call him or did he call or contact you?

Also, would you be comfortable sharing undergraduate / prerequisite grades and GRE (or MAT) scores? I'm just trying to get a sense of where I stand in the mix and what I should make of the complete lack of communication...

Thanks JJ,

Maybesoon

Either I will get in or I won't get in, but I have absolutely no control over the matter at this point.

I sent in my application, and I have no influence over the process now. So worrying about it (which I do) is just wasted mental energy.

If I don't get in, there are plenty of other programs out there.

Take a deep breath. Let it out. Repeat process.

Take it one day at a time.

I got my acceptance letter yesterday - what a relief! Has anyone else heard? Keeping my fingers crossed for all of you.
