Getting into NYU Accelerated Nursing Program

What topics did applicants cover in their personal statement letter. For some reason I am writing about, 3 whys..why me, nyu, and nursing

thank you iheartnyc! best of luck to you!

Hi, I'm submitting my app on Friday the 26th. Am I right that the whole 15-month program will cost around 70K? is that including or excluding housing??

Curious. I wrote a haiku. Now a haiku is only three lines right? Do you think that's good enough? Or should I write two or three haikus about me. This is re short essay part of App.

If I get in I'll definitely blog about my experience b/c I am looking for people already in the program and how they like it???

Let's keep the thread going. March 1st is the priority deadline with decisions rolling in 3-4 wks later. Maybe around mid-April some will already know if they got in or not.

Hey, I think they only give u space for a small Haiku anyway. I went to info sessions a year without housing is like 40,000, house is about 17,000 so we would go for a year and a half-so you are about right-unless u r dorming. o am not i am from NJ. where r you from. What did you write for your essay? I am so confused about how to write one!

I see you posted this yesterday. You do know the application is due March 1st, right? Meaning you have 3 days to write all of the essays and have it post-marked and sent out, so I'd suggest you hurry! Keep in mind the essays are really important for NYU...but then again good grades can overcome anything, probably. Anyway good luck and HURRY!

March 1st is actually the deadline for priority consideration, isn't it? April 1st should be the actual deadline, according to their website.

Hmm you might be right -- I've seen some conflicting information about that! It says in some places that March 1st is priority deadline and then in others it says it is the deadline..I believe it is the FAFSA deadline though..I will look in to this!

Not sure if you guys were talking about the 15 month accelerated program, which is the one I applied to. But yes, the due date for this program is March 1st. This is an exact quote I pulled from the college of nursing's undergrad admissions forum:

"Fall Matriculation: To start the 15-month accelerated program in September, the application deadline is March 1st; we will being to notify applicants of our admission decisions in early May.

Spring Matriculation: To start the 15-month accelerated program in January, the priority application deadline is October 1st but we will continue to accept applications until November 1st; we will begin to notify applicants of our admission decisions in mid November, and then on a rolling basis until early January."

Good luck!

Although this is what it says on the main section of the NYU nursing site:

"

Application Deadlines

September Admission (Fall) November 1 - Early Decision for Freshmen Applicants

January 1 - Regular Decision for Freshmen Applicants

March 1 – Priority application deadline for the 15-Month Accelerated Program

Admission to the 15-Month Accelerated Program is competitive and applicants are encouraged to apply by the March 1 deadline. The Office of Undergraduate Admissions will continue to accept applications until April 1, however priority consideration will be given to those that apply by March 1.

April 1 - All Transfer Applicants"

I Know I only have 3 days! and its snowing and my transcripts wont be ready!!! AHHH. we will see what happens. God is with me I know! Essay ideas anyone? starting now.

Got clarification from the Coordinator at the College of Nursing.

The priority deadline is March 1st, which means your application will be in the 1st round of review and the admissions committee will give you an admissions decision more quickly (quick turnaround). The final app deadline is April 1st and no applications will be accepted after April 1st.

So, it's to the applicants benefit that they meed the March 1st deadline so they can receive an admission decision sooner and better plan for fall 2010.

Priority dead line is March 1st. But you don't have to send in everything by then, just make sure your application is submitted through internet. However they will not look at your application until all of your supplemental materials are in!!! So make sure you send in everything. You have to realize that it's not a rolling in admission, and thousands do apply, so try not to delay on the application process. I know it's kinda painful and annoying to get everything together, good luck all! Oh, contact Lindsey Sutton, she is really really great!
