NEU Direct Entry Online?

Published

Hello,

I was browsing the Northeastern University website and saw there is a new Direct Entry (Online) BSN/MSN program that is located out of the Burlington campus. They don't require the GRE's for this program, but they do for their regular Direct Entry. When I asked why, they simply said it wasn't required at this time, but may be in the future. Has anyone heard of this "online" program or know anyone who has done it?

Very true!!!

OMG, so I was just accepted into the fall direct entry online..Better late than never, but now I am not sure how to afford it. How did financial aid work out for you guys? Im wondering if books will be able to be bought with financial aid or if it will come directly out of pocket. I have 4 weeks to get prepared and submit all the needed info. AHHHHHH

Adamamber1 congrats!!!! Are you going to tomorrow's orientation? My financial aid is horrible. I only received about one tenth of the total cost for the first year :( . I called the financial aid office and they didn't provide much help.I resubmitted my fafsa because I think I filled it out incorrectly, so I'm hoping that helps.

CM401 For some reason, my last message didnt get posted to you. Sorry about your financial aid. I just spoke with someone in financial aid and am terrified. Did your student loans cover your bill? How much are the books for this semester? Obviously being accepted late, I wasnt planning on these costs so now I am unsure how to make it work financially. I'm so overwhelmed. How does everyone pay for this? I wont even get my financial aid package before I send in my deposit, so if it is unaffordable, I am out $600. Not sure what to do.

Adamamber1, most of the people I spoke with at orientation today are taking out private loans and I plan to do the same. For financial aid purposes, the RN portion is considered a second bachelors so independent students can receive up to $12,500 and dependent $7,500/ year. I was told to plan to spend ~$900 on books.

Oh wow, I was told that for financial aid purposes, it would be considered graduate student loans..Im so confused.

One of the financial aid advisors spoke to us and we were told that during the first 4 semesters, the RN portion, financial aid is awarded as if we're 5th year undergrads. So, we do not qualify for the graduate aid yet. (by the way- Lab so far is set to take place on the Boston campus 3 hours every Saturday,testing will be on Wednesdays in Burlington, and clinical will be one day M,T, or TH.)

Thanks for the info, it helps in making my decision. The schedule for labs and clinicals work great for me. I'm really hoping I can pull this together to make it work.

Labs are in Boston? For some reason I assumed they'd be in Burlington. I'm looking at the program for next year- any other interesting things learned at orientation?

Celticsgirl17- if you'll have everything completed on time, there's another cohort starting in January. Yes, labs will be in Boston on Saturdays, well at least for our cohort. 3 classes during the RN portion are at the grad level, so you'll need to earn a B or better. The rest are undergrad courses so you'll need to get a C or better.
