Getting into NYU Accelerated Nursing Program

U.S.A. New York

Published

Hello All-

I have just started looking into applying to Nursing Schools. I have a long way to go but I wanted to get the process started as soon as possible. I am VERY interested in NYU Accelerated Nursing Program for Fall 2010 and I have a few questions. I would love feedback from anyone who was accepted into the program or planning on applying.

1. I graduated undergrad in business with a mere 2.8 GPA. If I get A's in all my prerequisites what are my chances of getting into NYU Accelerated Program? (My first year of college before I transferred I had a 3.3 GPA- don't know if this even makes a difference). What else can I do to increase my chances of getting accepted?

2. Is it more advantageous to apply for spring semester over fall semester?

3. I am very interested in later utilizing my Business degree/background with Nursing. What are my options?

4. I received a C in Statistic from undergrad- should I just retake the course?

Hope to hear from you guys soon.

Thanks!

it is very important

and it adds to your application

hi all,

i am too a nyu hopeful. i am applying in october for the january 2010 accelerated bsn program. i'm wondering what the gpa requirements are or suggested grades one should receive in the prereq? i'm kind of worried because i got a b- in a&p 1 and i took a&p 2 this summer and got a c. should i take it over or just continue on to micro and nutrition and focus on doing well in those two? i'm so stressed about that last grade.

hello im new to allnurses and am applying to NYU accelerated program in October. i wanted to ask all of you who got into the program (btw congrats!) if you think i might have a chance of getting in for spring 2010.

I have a BA from UC Santa Cruz in Anthropology with a undergraduate gpa of 3.38. For pre-rec i have: A's in Stat, physiology, Nutrition, Psy. B's in microbio and anatomy. And a C in chemsitry.

I have letters of recs from my microbio professor and employer at Planned parenthood. I volunteered at Planned p for about 5 months before i began working there.

I am wondering if i have a chance of getting in with a C in chemistry. Also would applying before the application deadline increase my chance of getting in?

Hey guys! I am applying to spring 2010 as well. My only prob right now is finding that darn nutrition requrement. Has anyone found a cheap online course besides University of Phoenix?

I am a little worried about getting in. During college I was sick and have a terrible GPA, but my current prerequisite marks are really good. I was talking to another girl on a different thread and she helped me. Search suny downstate on this site

Finally, has anyone figured out how they are gonna pay for this? I currently work for Nyu and will have to quit my job to go to school here. Btw how funny are some of those essays. I am contacting the school today to make sure we only have to do

a few.

Hey Kirham - SUNY offers a TON of classes online - I'm not sure if it's too late to sign up for the semester, but check out http://www.sln.suny.edu. They list all the online courses offered by every SUNY school in the state, and the rates are super-low if you are in-state. I took a Developmental Psych course through them earlier this year.

Congrats to those who got in!! :-)

Hey all!

I got into NYU too, for Spring 2010. Is there a FB page started for our cohort? I have SOO many questions, esp. since I never had a chance to visit. (How much is tuition? Are there jobs lined up for us at NYU's medical center after graduation?)

Feel free to email me. Let me know if I should start a Spring 2010 group on FB.

hi everyone,

I got my acceptance letter in the mail a few days ago and am wondering about housing. It seems like all on campus housing is a shared room situation. I would rather have my own room. Is anyone thinking of living off campus? Does anyone need a roommate? Thanks Hannah

Hey,

A big congratulations to you who have been accepted to the NYU 2010 Spring cohort!

I too have applied (in Sept) and am waiting to hear back. I have a couple quick questions; What where your pre-req grades/GPA like and in what state do you live (I ask bc I live in the West and am wondering about mail lag time etc.)?

Thanks.

I am interested in NYU for the fall, does it work against you if some of your prereq courses are from jr. colleges or were taken during the summer (so an accelerated version of the course)?

Hello 2010Hopeful! Hope you're still interested in FALL 2010 because it sounds like we have similar backgrounds and I'm applying to begin at the same time. This site shows that your last activity was in June, so I'm hoping you haven't changed your mind. It would be great to have someone to share experiences with, etc, throughout the application/acceptance process! Are you still on track for this fall?

I just typed a response to your post and accidentally deleted it!!! FRUSTRATING! Anyway, here's a condensed version.....

Do you know anything RE: acceptance rates, etc for the 15-month program? I've heard that your chances of getting into ANY graduate school are much higher as an out-of-state applicant, but am not sure if the same logic applies to this program since we will technically be entered into the program as "undergrads." Any info you have would be great! Thanks!!

ps-I'm applying to begin FALL 2010
