NYU ABSN Fall 2016

Published

I am looking into applying for the NYU ABSN Fall 2016 program. I was wondering if anyone had any helpful tips and thoughts on what I should know when applying for the program.

For those of you still waiting do you guys have pretty solid GPAS or is yours just ok? Mine was a 3.4 but I have a lot of experience, I guess not good enough though haha

Helloo nemo90,

This is a random question, but I am curious if NYU nursing students have a white coat ceremony?

Hey EGGnurse2b,

I'm only finishing my first semester here, so I'm not 100% sure, but I don't believe you do. I believe we have a Pinning ceremony at the end of the program, where you get a pin or something like that.

@dutchie I do have a 3.5 G.P.A but the fact that I applied early and still haven't heard anything makes me think that I have been wait listed or that I will eventually get rejected because there are so many people that , have that sort of G.P.A or have extra credentials like volunteering experience , internship or years of working in a hospital and I'm starting to think my application just isn't going to cut it . That's why I'm no longer hoping and I legit think I'm not getting in and I feel like they wasted my time , what's the point of applying super early only to not here anything until maybe mid May or June .

I was hoping my experiences would offset my GPA. I wonder if anyone else has heard back. I emailed one of the admissions counselors who has been helping me and they told me 2-3 weeks. I have also started losing hope. Did you apply anywhere else?

So I noticed in the other thread that later in the application cycle for spring 2016 there was a wave of acceptances so here's for hoping!!

I still haven't heard anything. My undergrad GPA was just ok, but my pre-req GPA is a 4.0 (seems like most everyone's is though!). I have work experience but it wasn't in healthcare or the sciences.

Let's hope on today! :)

I was just wondering do they send out responses to our personal email or is it just threw albert?

Maybe they are doing a big batch toward the middle of may just like earlier in the month. They've got a large class so I feel like some of us may get in that are still hanging I hope haha
