NYU ABSN Fall 2013 Entry

Published

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?

On the website, it says "Applicants for the fall semester entry will be notified via email after April 1 and on a rolling basis through June. "

Which means we have another month. Maybe they need to see who declined by May 1, to start acceptaning again? Idk

I honestly believe they are still just working through the ginormous volume of applicants. I am pretty sure admissions can estimate the percentage of people who will accept or reject the offer based on historical data. If memory serves, the absn class is aproximately 150 people. If they accept 30 percent of applicants you are talking 450 if everyone who was offered a spot took it. My guess is that they got close to 500 applications. I think it is time for me to put on my patience hat:)

My ABSN cohort that started fall 2011 was closer to 250.

Hey everyone

This is my first time posting on here so I guess I'll just give the information everyone was looking for. I got my acceptance email this morning. I have an interdisciplinary bachelors degree and masters degree in the sciences. Lower undergrad GPA but almost a 4.0 in grad school. I had volunteered in a variety of areas in a hospital and also have volunteer experience in public health. I applied about a week after the "priority" deadline. I have 4 prereqs that I'm taking over the summer: A&P I and II, Microbio, and Dev psych. I know that's almost half the prereqs that I haven't taken but I had previously taken other courses in physiology, immunology, various psychology courses in addition to a plethora of other science courses for my undergrad and grad degree, so I feel they were able to extrapolate from my previous classes and grades how I would do in the remaining prereqs. Hope that gives other people the insight they were looking for.

Hi Everyone,

I too applied right before the priority deadline -- say Feb 27ish. I haven't heard back as well.

I'm a very diverse candidate -- very different experiences than most people have posted, so I have no idea if that is a benefit or detriment. I"m an engineer, naval officer, and worked in both manufacturing and HR at a major fortune 500 company.

My undergraduate degree is in Industrial Engineering from a top Engineering school. Low GPA - 2.97.

My graduate degree is in Management Engineering with a 3.7 from a big state school. So far I have a 4.0 in my pre-req's, Im finishing up A&P and Micro now -- on track for A's.

I spent 6 years as a naval officer right out of college, was on station in the Persian Gulf. I wrote my essay on how I learned to listen to my sailors and help guide them in their jobs, life and career choices and how that skill prompted me to be interested in nursing. I've also been a doula (not officially certified, but I was a called the "doula" and was present for 2 births, other than my own). My latest nursing exploit was in acute care -- as I worked with a family in which the young mother (31, was at the end of her life fighting cancer in Sloan Kettering). I basically wrote about how those experiences energized and made me want to be much more involved in the actual care of the patient.

I highlighted that my goal was to be an acute care NP and pursue a dual role as NP and researcher in chronic disease pain management.

I'm 35 years old. I have 2 little girls (3 & 5) and I live in NYC (chelsea, 2 stops away from NYU). I'm so impressed with the candidates posting here. I really hope I get in. I only applied to

NYU & CUNY Lehman. Mostly because I'm taking my pre-req's as Lehman and typically they don't let you take micro & A&P 2 at the same time. I got special permission -- so by the time I knew this, the only schools whose deadline I didn't miss were NYU & Lehman. Fortunately, NYU is my top choice --- now if only I could receive an acceptance letter.

Good luck to everyone. I'm trying really hard not to stress out too much. It seems like the answers are coming at a trickle -- hopefully I'll hear soon.

all the best.

Funny -- after I posted this last night - I got an email from an admissions director asking for a transcript that I'm very sure I sent in and is checked off in Albert. I sent a new transcript in this morning. It goes to show that there may be some disorganization in the admissions department --- as far as handling our applications. There doesn't seem to be a reason to the order in which they are processed or given answers too.

Of course, they may hold some applications that they are unsure about to look at longer. But otherwise, it just seems to be who/when you are picked out of the pile.

I guess I won't be hearing until at least next week now. I hope some of you get good news tomorrow.

Nope. I think I may call today if only to feel like it is in my control, which of course it is entirely out of my control:)
