New Jersey City University (NJCU) Accelerated Nursing 2019

[aerianna93]

Hi all!

I know it may be a bit early but I like to always get the ball rolling. Is there anyone that is looking to apply to the 2019-2020 accelerated nursing cohort at NJCU?? I'm looking to connect so we can keep each other updated throughout the process.

FDU is strict on G.P.A. I didnt get into their program because of my undergrad G.P.A from 2011 even though I had 4.0 on the prerequisites and great letters of Recommendation. I only got into Rutgers and have yet to hear from NJCU. Felician I finish application but they lost my resume in mail but at that point i decided not to pursue admission to Felician

Just saw rutgers campus yesterday it’s really nice!! I can’t believe it’s a state university and the tuition seems to be the least for ABSN programs in NJ

Officially, NJCU is the least costly of all the ABSN programs in NJ. It costs 32k altogether. Thankfully, there are a lot of scholarships out there.

Yea New Brunswick is really nice. That's where I went for undergrad from 2005-2011. Its changed alot since I graduated. I got accepted into Rutgers Newark and I like New Brunswick campus better. I didnt apply there because its further from where I live. NJCU would be cheaper if it's at 32k because i think Rutgers is around 35k-36k.

FYI: I just figured out the costs for Rutgers and it's $32,000. ($463 per credit x 62 credits plus $2436.75 in fees)

Hi all,

also another lurker. Finally decided to make an account since my anxiety is through the roof. I had my interview today for Seton Hall’s Direct to MSN program starting this fall. It went really well. It’s 2 years and at least 100k but it’s an MSN. I’ve spoken to a few family memebers in the healthcare field and all are telling me to go for the MSN vs the accelerated BSNs I’ve applied to. I’m not sure what to think being that I’m still waiting on decisions lol

Anyone call njcu today?

[NJ-nurse]

I did - at first she said that we'd hear by the end of the week, until I told her that deposits were due for other schools by May 1st and then she said we'd hear by then. So, it didn't sound promising for today.

Ugh so frustrating. I hate that they can’t meet their own deadlines and goals, and keep giving runaround.

@NJ-nurse I concur. I was stalking some other platforms where people posted their acceptance letters from last year, and they were notified later in the day and on different days. I saw acceptances on May 20 and 24 around 5 o clock from last year.

I completely understand they get slammed by applications, and we can only assume that application numbers keep increasing each year. But if that is the case, they need to figure out a better way to approach their review/admission process. Decision day was already delayed twice, and we are now 2 days away from May and still nothing. It makes things seem a bit disorganized...
