Hello everyone! I have submitted my application and my transcripts to NYU for the ABSN program beginning in fall 2013! I am very excited but surprised that we will be hearing so late about an admission decision. Is anyone else applying?
nycnursetobe2014-When did you start the program? I don't have a recommendation as of yet. The website says it is optional so I am considering not sending one (because I am not really close with any of my professors) but I wanted to know if people get accepted this way. I have a high GPA, volunteer experience, and a a good essay.
Thanks
I just started this semester (Spring 2013). I was really concerned about not submitting one at first, but I called NYU and spoke to an admissions counselor who basically told me it's a very small portion of what they consider when they are looking at the application.In my case I applied to NYU close to the deadline and didn't have a chance to get a letter before applications were due- that's why I didn't submit one. Perhaps you could get a letter from your volunteer experience? I don't think it has to be academic. It's definitely competitive to get in so I would try to submit something if possible.
