NYU ABSN Fall 2013 Entry

torzorz · Apr 9, 2013

I just got accepted to NYU as well! I felt like they were never going to make a decision! Does anyone else find that their tuition is outrageously high? Couple more questions: anyone know if that includes housing? Also, do most nursing students live on or off campus? I dont know if you all have these answers but I thought I might ask. I am soooo torn because of the price. Another school I was accepted to in Chicago is literally half Any help/advice would be much appreciated!

The tuition does not include housing or any of the additional fees (books, etc). What school in Chicago? I have my interview for the UIC masters program on Friday.

Does anyone know what certifications NYU expects us to have prior to starting? I'm Adult/Pediatric First Aid, CPR and AED certified but I haven't even started looking at BLS etc. If they include certifications as part of the program I'd rather not pay for it outside :)

Oh wow congrats! I hear that school is amazing. I actually got accepted to Loyola University Chicago's ABSN program very similar to NYU's.

I got my acceptance a few minutes before 6 AM (California time). Congrats everyone! I was also a priority applicant if that helps.

Congratulations everyone! I'm very anxiously awaiting. I applied in December, but I don't think that the priority deadline meant much at this point haha.

Hope we all hear more good news tomorrow!

Ok so I am new to this site. Just like everyone else, I read numerous threads about statistics, acceptance rate, what does it take to get in, etc. This post that I am making is for anyone who knows if I have a chance or knows anyone that got in with similar background as me. So here goes:

1. 23 years old

2. Went to a community college in Walnut, CA from July 2007 - June 2010 and ended up with a 2.78 GPA because of certain life events that prevented me from succeeding (I started out with a 3.7 and dropped down to 2.78 before I transferred out)

3. Transferred to University of California, Riverside from September 2010 - December 2012 and my degree is B.S. in Biological Sciences with a concentration in Medical Biology but GPA JUST FROM THERE is 2.5 (quarter system compared to my semester system in community college)

4. Combined GPA with community college and UCR is roughly 2.6ish

5. I'm back at the same community college and will finish this June

6. Pre-Req grades: A in anatomy (taken in Spring of 2008), B in statistics, C in general chemistry 1, and currently taking physiology, microbiology, nutrition, and developmental psychology (I know I can get an A in physiology, developmental psychology, and nutrition for sure and a B in microbiology).

7. Experiences- about 1 1/2 years volunteering in the emergency room at "Los Angeles County-University of Southern California Medical Center" (about 450 hours), volunteered in a research lab at UCR from February 2011 - September 2011, and helped one of friends setting up a fundraising event called "kickin' it with Kylie" for a University of Texas soccer player that was hit by a drunk driver (she survived and went to the same high school with me. Her name is Kylie Doniak and you can look it up to verify it)

8. I have a california state license to practice as an EMT and a national registered EMT (got both of those January of this year) BUT I never worked as one because it is difficult to find a job since the economy is very bad

9. I would also like to know if I have to provide proof for every experience I did when submitting my application

10. I have a letter of recommendation from LAC-USC Medical Center but that was when I left in February 2009

11. I can get stellar letter of recommendations from 2 of my professors and EMT instructors right now if I wanted to

12. Personal statement is top of the line

13. If I get the grades in the remaining 4 pre-req as stated in #6, with my experience/volunteer as stated, letters of recommendations, and personal statement and apply this october for the Spring 2014 NYU ABSN program, can I still get in?

14. Yes my overall GPA is poor but that's because of certain life events that I cannot prevent that pulled me away from studying

15. My pre-req GPA is strong and I am trying to not brag about it alongside with how confident I am with #6 stated above

16. I would appreciate it if someone can help me out by reading through everything I listed here from #1-16 and give me inputs or EVEN KNOW on wether or not I can still get in or seen anyone very similar like me get in. Thank you all very much and I really appreciate whoever answer this.

P.S. Congratulations to everyone that got accepted to NYU fall 2013 ABSN program!

Congrats! I'm from California as well. I posted a lengthy thread hoping that someone might help me answer it. If you don't mind me asking, what are credentials like? I am applying this October for the Spring 2014 class as stated in my thread.
