Updated:   Published

Hi everyone! 
I haven't seen a forum for NYU's Fall 2023 ABSN program, and decided to start one. Please feel free to add any information related to the program, application process, any tips, stats, words of encouragement for those accepted into the program, etc. All the best to everyone. I hope everyone's new year is off to an amazing start! ?

Hi, when do they start giving out application results?

They typically do it in batches, with the first round of decisions rolling out in the first week of April.

Hi everyone! I'm currently in my second sequence for NYU's ABSN program, so feel free to reach out if you have any questions! 

Hi! Very kind of you. Thank you. I would like to know what the pros and cons are of NYU Rory Meyers, in your opinion. Do you think buying textbooks for all classes is absolutely necessary? Also, do you think it is doable to work part-time while attending?

LOL just thought of another one: What is the passing grade for exams/classes?

I definitely don't regret my decision to choose Meyers-- even though the cost is really high, I've enjoyed my time here so far! I feel you do get access to a lot of great resources and there's definitely professors that are really interested in helping you and providing you with opportunities. However, with that being said, there's also professors that might not suit everyone's preferred learning style. I think another con is that you aren't allowed to choose your clinical site so it's random assignment, which means some people might end up at locations that are really inconvenient for them, such as Long Island. I don't recommend buying textbooks for all classes-- you can usually find free PDF's of all the textbooks. I did buy textbooks my first sem but I found it to be a waste of my money. Some people do buy textbooks because they want access to practice questions, but I don't find the questions to be helpful or reflective of the exams we take in class, so I'd rather save the hundreds of dollars you may spend on textbooks. Part-time work is definitely doable, but it really depends on the person. For example, I'm working 2 jobs 6 days of the week, but I prefer listening to lecture recordings, so I usually do not go to in person lectures except for one of them. However, there are people who realized that part time jobs really cut into their academic performance, so a lot of people in the program actually do not work.

It's 73 for exams-- I'm not sure about classes, but what I've heard about failing classes is that you will spend the next semester taking solely the class that you failed. Only after you pass can you continue with the nursing sequences. However, if you pass and then fail another class later down the road, then you're kicked out of the program. Another thing is that for classes with clinical and lecture components, if you fail your clinical or sim portion, you end up failing the class too.

Wow, it seems that they really want to make sure that students hone in on the class that they did not pass (by making them take it by itself). I like that. Good to know. Thank you for the information.

Do you think I can still add a Letter of Rec? I submitted mine by the priority deadline. I already if 2 LOR from professors so this would be from work.

I think you can still add it. I've heard of people submitting LORs after the deadline...although I'm not sure if this would push you into the regular decision category. To make sure, you should probably ask someone in Admissions.
