Hey Everyone,

I thought I would start a page for the fall 2019 cohort Mount Sinai. Looking forward to hearing all your thoughts. I applied just recently. I’m waiting to hear back. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Best,

Hello ysh!!

This is actually the only school I applied to because the tuition cost isn’t as expensive as other schools....I considered applying to SUNY but it didn’t work out for me...also I heard it’s pretty diverse which I appreciate in any environment and because it’s part of Mount Sinai hospital finding a job after the program probably won’t be so difficult. Other than that we are on the same boat. ?

Hello!

So far I placed my deposit for the program. Also I’m browsing around for financial support to sponsor the cost of the program until financial aid is released.

The program probably may start around the 20 something of August after per-immersion. Ms. Maria Gallo stated to me in person the pre-immersion will be mostly online. They have us scheduled to come to the school only once during the pre-immersion portion of the program.

Hope to get more info. Hope this helps.

I don't know the comparison between mount sinai and the other schools are. I can tell you that it does have a great name and reputation. It is difficult to compare as those schools have so many other programs while mount sinai is only nursing and medical. I can also say that I was talking to someone who says there is a definite prestige and pride of attending mount sinai. As for GPA, my undergrad GPA is a 3.88 but I am still in middle of a few prereqs.

Good luck with your decision!

Does anyone know if FAFSA is asking to give 2017 tax info or 2018? Also, did anyone apply to TAP of NY?

Good Morning. Much of that information is available on the website. All of the schools mentioned generally required a 3.2 GPA and up; However all look at candidates holistically. Mount Sinai Beth Israel PSON has had a ADN Nursing program for years and is very respected. Downstate like PSON has a hospital associated with its academics so that is always a plus. While PSON will be starting their 5 cohort for their Accelerated BSN option this fall, their ADN nursing program ran for years with great outcomes. I would encourage you to check out the NY State office of Professions as this will give you data on NCLEX pass rates for all of the schools here in NYC you may be looking at for the best reflection of "prestigious" education.

Here is the link for their ADN outcomes dating back to 2008.

*NCLEX pass rates for the ABSN is limited but I was told by the school the first class was 84%. Good Luck.

Per the office of student services all financial aid packets/letters/awards will be sent out in May/June for the fall cohort.

FAFSA this year is asking for 2017 tax return information. I am actually planning on applying for TAP right now.

Hello, I am just adding a bit to what Leah said. She basically summed it up well. I sometimes work at Mount Sinai St. Luke’s. After working there and talking to the nurses, many nurses hired at this hospital are Mount Sinai graduates. There is much pride if you graduated from this institution. Most of the alumni have went on to become floor nurses, managers, and specialized nurses such as NP. It’s really motivating to hear to see such strong alumni base.

The list of schools you mentioned are most fully academic institutions that serve other majors and interests. It may not be a fair comparison to a place like Mount Sinai which specializes in medicine and nursing as a medical institution. Though, I will say CUNY and SUNY schools do stand a fair chance if you would like more of an inexpensive price tag. The price for their nursing program should be manageable and less expensive than Mount Sinai. I thought about NYU, BUT A BIG DETERRENT WAS THE EXPENSIVE TUITION. I don’t think NYU price tag was worth it especially when getting a BSN. NYU nursing tuition is someone’s graduate school cost!! Nonetheless, I bet they are great schools similar to Mount Sinai. It’s just you may need to determine what’s your priority. Is it tuition cost, prestige, NCLEX pass success rate, etc. ? Regardless, this is simple my take on your question.

Hope this helps!
