@FutureBSN3173 I applied to Mount Sinai too (although submitted my application a little late last week and of course am waiting to hear from them). I heard the programs are pretty close to one another. As far as beneficial, I'm still debating which school I'll be attending for sure. I mean, they are both really good schools with great hospitals and prestigious also. That said, from my extensive research, the cons of NYU had to do with its high tuition only. As to Mount Sinai, people were complaining about how disorganized the school was during COVID- again COVID is gone and I believe the school is better now. On the other hand, Mount Sinai has many many hospitals in which we could benefit from at a later time.
I feel anxious for having to make a decision between these 2 schools (in case I get in to MS too). PACE is my last option and I was also accepted there.

either way, I don't think there's anything wrong with either school. I'm sorry for not giving you a more solid answer.

Hey! Good comparison but wouldn't consider PACE. They scammers...Pace is not the Pace they talk about. The new ABSN director will make sure you fail. Almost, half of the class didn't pass 1st and 2nd semester. She teaches PathoPharm and Peds. No support at all...If I were you, would go to NYU even though its expensive but their ABSN and support is top notch.

Also, for anyone who would be struggling due to finances, apply to the CPT program and they will cover all the tuition. In return, after graduation you work in their hospital for 3 years. NYU and NYP is part of their hospitals where you can work.

Wow! This chart is amazing! Thank you!!
So basically they combined pathophysiology and pharmacology into one class spanning two semesters rather than taking pathophysiology one semester and pharmacology in the next. Also we don't have Adult and Elder going in first semester rather Fundamentals and then second semester we'll have Adult and Elders. In addition to a lot of classes being renamed but I'm sure we'll still be learning the same things and have our elective classes in our last semester.

I'm a little concerned and confused why they combined the two most difficult classes into one. The only reason I can think of why they did this is because they want us to retain the information for a longer span of time since maybe students forget information from pathophysiology that piggy back into pharmacology the next semester. They're both super jam packed I wonder how it's gonna unfold. But regardless, I know that we can do it!

I was wondering about combining two hard classes too. I think your idea is right, that it helps with info retention. My guess is that they're trying to make the classes more holistic, we learn the disease (patho) and the treatment (pharm), in depth, all together. I've heard that when you apply knowledge, rather than just cold memorization, it helps retention. Since they split it into to two sections, we get the same amount of time with the material as the when the classes were split. Maybe I'm desperately optimistic, but hopefully this actually makes the material easier?

Did anyone also apply to mount Sinai program ? I'm wondering how they compare and which is more beneficial?

I got into both NYU and Mount Sinai PSON, so I did a bunch of research on both schools. I heard directly from a current student at MS PSON that its a good program and the professors are very supportive. They had only positive things to say.
I personally chose NYU because I got financial aid that brought it to the same cost as MS PSON. Also I've heard that NYU is a more rigorous program and its closer to where I live in Brooklyn. If I didn't get financial aid, I'd 100% go with MS PSON.

I'm curious to know if anyone has gotten a rejection yet

Kdrsb · Apr 28

@Caroline McDonald I believe the schools will send rejections after all spots are fully taken (deposit + other enrollment ready to go etc) only because at this point us (same students) are also being accepted to other schools as well. So I believe it makes sense to have a rejection from us then the schools will be sure they're filling all spots. I hope my thought makes sense LOL.

@Tzuriel Well, it looks like we can't create a chat within this website but I kinda want to create something. Would this help? I'm getting so nervous but definitely excited.

Yea, I totally see what you're saying. I hope this is going to help us, maybe when we start school they'll explain how the courses are going to work. They're also changing it for all cohorts that already started moving forward too. So it's gonna be a big switch for everyone. A bit more for those who are already in the program versus us since we're starting fresh.

Correction: just checked the nyu website about changing the curriculum, I'm not sure if it's going to change for the continuing students that are already in the program.

But for us starting in Fall 2025 it definitely is

hi all,

Did anyone start or complete the checklist of essential items that we would need to complete before we can begin courses at NYU? The whole thing is confusing me already- too many items and too many links/pages to click on to guide us to another page. Does anyone want to connect? thank you and good luck to all of you who have not yet heard about their acceptance. Fingers crossed!
