Hey! Just wanted to make a thread on the upcoming Accelerated nursing program at NYU for Fall 2016.
I have started my application process! I'm waiting for my professor to complete one of my letter of recommendations and I am putting the final touches on my personal statement. How is everyone else doing in the process?
I have a gpa of 3.83. All my pre reqs are in. All of my pre reqs are A- to A. With the exception of chemistry B+ (both Chem 1 and 2). I wanted to get into PA school but that didn't go well. I got interviews and wait list but nothing yet. I have shadowing experience, been working as a CNA for 2 and half yrs.i worked at st barnabas hospital, Bronx Lebanon, Calvary Hospital, Bellevue ( I did companionship ) and volunteered in the emergency room. I unintentionally worked at these different hospitals I was just looking for better pay. I sent 2 LORs ( 1 from a PA i worked with , and my chemistry prof because i know my grade was not that high in that area)
I worked on my essay a lot because it was initially for PA school. I used the same essay for PA.. Basically switched PA and put nurse lol.
I applied and got accepted to college of new Rochelle accelerated its 18 months. Columbia masters in nursing I got wait listed... And NYU I got in.
But I know that NY looks at people essay holistically. So if you have a weakness one area. Try to make other areas that you have control over stronger like essays, pt care hrs, and find one of the best to write your recommendation.. Not just a lazy prof that writes 2 sentences and says contact me for any questions.
