So I may be a bit early, considering the 2017 class is just now getting their acceptance letters for this coming Fall. But since late last year, I've been preparing to apply to the NJCU ABSN Jersey City cohort that will begin in 2018. I wasn't able to apply to the 2017 cohort as my prerequisites were not finished in time. I figured others may be in the same boat, so I figured why not get the conversation going. The application will open in October, and that's creeping up quickly, as it always does.
Therefore, I'd like to start this forum to discuss any questions or concerns we might have. I'm attending the info seminar next Wednesday, 3/29 at 5 PM - anyone else going? Some of my concerns are financial aid, specifically how much non-need based aid is available as many of us may not qualify for need-based aid if we work full time now. I currently work in Financial Aid, so if you have any questions about that, I'd be happy to give any info I have. I'm also curious about credit requirements for prereqs - I can't seem to find specific numbers (e.g. how many A&P credits do we need).
Overall, I hope to connect with others who are interested in applying to start in 2018, Jersey City and Wall - please share your thoughts, and I look forward to speaking with you!
@JillianS I was having trouble finding it as well. Search for this ---> NJCU ABSN and then click on the Group tab and you should see it. Hope this helps.
For those of us who have been accepted and intend to be in the Jersey City cohort for this program, I have already created a closed Facebook group for us.
Just search this and I will add you ASAP: NJCU ABSN (Class Of 2019) - Jersey City Cohort
I am looking forward to meeting everyone. Don't forget to send in those tuition deposit forms by May 2nd!
Hello All! I have also been accepted! Congratulations to everyone, I look forward to meeting you guys at orientation. I mailed out my deposit on April 21st, I live in the same city as the University but have not received confirmation of receipt yet. Has anyone else received any confirmation in regards to their deposit?
I've been reading these posts for a couple months now and plan on applying next cohort. Just out of curiosity and if you feel comfortable sharing- for those that were accepted what were your, GPA, pre reqs and HESI scores.

@Ema4all The deadline is May 2nd. So, I would think you would hear back sometime after that. Good luck!
