CUNY, SUNY, LIU, Stony Brook and NYU 2012

U.S.A. New York

Hi All-

I'm applying to the previous schools for Summer/Fall 2012 - anyone else? I'm a post bac and I **** my freshman year which kinda screwed my whole GPA (ended up with a 2.75 from Boston University). I have been working in the medical field since 2008 though. Any advice and recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers,

Can only suggest you get that GPA >3.0, well above for of the CUNY programs. Slots are limited combined with huge numbers of applicants means despite the "2.5" listed in most programs as part of the pre-nursing requirements you're only shot on being admitted with that GPA is if suddenly demand drops off, waaaaaaaaaaaaaay off! :D

I'm currently applying to a few of those schools (NYU, LIU, Downstate) as well as a few others (CMSV & other undetermined ones - possibly concordia, molloy etc).

My GPA was a 3.2 as an undergrad and with my pre-req's it's prob about the same.

I had previously applied to Downstate & Pace (while still completing my pre-reqs). I didn't get into either school, and that was a blow to me. I met with Downstate and I was deemed not as competitive when compared to my peers who had COMPLETED their pre-reqs prior to applying.

I'd suggest applying as early as possible because seats fill up fast. Some schools will let you complete pre-reqs at the institution (you'd just hold off on clinicals). NYU is known to do that - I know a few people who got accepted with 0-1 completed prereqs. There is just a HUGE price tag attached.

Good Luck.
