NYU ABSN Fall 2018

I had that happen with three transcripts with my married name. When I called, two had been accounted for and one not. I have sent the one not accounted for twice and I sent it again a week ago. No update on Albert regarding having received it. I may order a sealed one sent to myself and then send it certified mail... Anyway, make sure the name is correct on your transcripts. :)

I did order sealed transcripts from each college that I attended. And I chose to use the next day delivery mail which cost me 24 dollars. But They still did not receive anything. I ordered transcripts again and items would mail to them directly.

I was having similar troubles as well because when I logged onto the Albert status update page it showed that my transcripts had not been received. When I called, they said they had indeed been received and that the website sometimes does not refresh.

i just received email. They told me that they received and updated the Alberts status. Hopefully, we could hear more information back

Hello, everyone! I applied to the 15-Month Accelerated Program on February (the early admissions deadline was March 1st). However, there is a regular admissions deadline (April 1st). From what I have been reading in this thread and from what it says in Albert, we are supposed to start hearing back around mid-April, but I remember seeing somewhere when I applied that Transfer Students to Fall 2018 will not hear back until mid-June. Am I missing or misinterpreting information here?

I called the Office of Admissions and they told me we will not hear back until early June!

Wow that's a really long time. I got into a school but I rather go to NYU but I don't want to lose my spot because of NYU. I really thought they would atleast get back to us before May 1.

I think admissions decisions are staggered...I recall reading something to this effect while looking at the threads for prior cohorts for this program.

I submitted my application late January. So hopefully I hear back in April

Hi all, I am currently in the mist of my application for the regular admissions deadline (April 1). Do you all have any advice for the essay, resume presentation or advice in general?

I also saw on the website that, "Decisions are released on a rolling basis starting in June for the fall term". For those who were confused about when admission decisions would be released, hope this helps clear things up!

Since it's 500 words max, I felt I should focus on selecting the "right" thing to write about, and less on fancy prose or charming storytelling. I tried to be very succinct, clean, and deliberate with it. Ultimately, mine focused on my specific long-term professional goals and how NYU's program would facilitate those, my compatibility with the culture/environment of NYU, and when/how I decided to pursue nursing (which was a pretty straightforward and practical explanation, not a cutesy-cutesy story about a moment of inspiration--though not saying that would be a bad idea! just the approach i felt would best suit my individual application).

One piece of advice: I think getting good rec letters would help. And I think a good rec letter in this case would be one that talks about the NYU program and why specifically you are a good fit for it--not just a general description of how amazing you are.
