College of Mount Saint Vincent ABSN Summer 2021

[Redpandaaaa]

Hi everyone -

I didn’t find a thread/topic for CMSV’s Summer 2021 ABSN program so I went ahead and made one. I just found out that I was accepted today and will be attending the program at the Riverdale campus. Anyone else attending for the Summer cohort? It seems a lot of people apply for the Fall/Spring semesters, but I want to get started and finish nursing school ASAP. Would love to discuss about the program with others in my cohort.

Hey! Do you know what day classes start in the Summer? Surprisingly, I couldn’t find any information on this.

Memorial Day is May 31st (Monday) this year. So classes start late May and not June? 

also, are you funding the program mostly via private student loans? I believe the program is 60k in total for tuition which is a hefty amount.

I am also starting summer21. I have been searching all over the net to to read reviews about the school, but I haven’t found much.

Yes late May from what I was told. And yes I assume I will be funding majority from private loans. They're having a financial aid Q&A session in April that I plan on attending to get more information on how to fill out fasfa since this will be my second bachelor's degree.

So I’m actually gonna try to defer admission to the fall cause the queens location is more convenient for me (though it’s nice to start early in the Summer, only the Bronx campus is available). But I have been having a very hard time reaching anyone from the department. Been contacting Ellen Lloyd via email and have been calling every day with no luck. I have been able to reach her before over email and she’d respond in a day or two, but this time I’ve been trying to reach her for over a week. Anyone else have/had trouble reaching Ellen or know of anyone else to contact for admissions/application inquiries in the nursing dept?

Try going there. Honestly, they are really bad at communication.

I just don’t get how an office Isn't picking up the phone during business hours. Been calling days in a row at different times. Very annoyed to say the least.

I feel this sentiment entirely.  It is quite ridiculous, but that is the only way you will get Your issue resolved.
