NYU ABSN Spring 2013

Published

Hello, I'm a long time AN reader, first time poster. I haven't seen any discussion about spring 2013 entry, so I thought I would start.

When are you guys going to apply? august or sept?

Did anyone apply without having all the pre-reqs completed?

I applied for priority deadline needing 2 pre reqs which I'm taking now. First bachelor wasn't an impressive GPA but 4.0 in Pre reqs. Coming from business and was accepted yesterday.

ScentlessApprentice that is great to hear! Congratulations!! I too am taking pre-reqs now however I will still need to take 3 more and have applied under the understanding that I could take those remaining ones at NYU. I hope that hasn't hindered my chances of getting accepted. My undergrad GPA was only a 3.05 but all my pre-reqs are A's. I graduated with a degree in health policy but went into finance for several years and then financial and healthcare communications (yes, I'm a bit older! Just turned 36, ugh!) Anyway, thanks for sharing your details. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed but I do remember the guy at the open house saying the route I'm hoping to take at NYU is very difficult to get into :(

RhodyRed - I am in the same boat as you. I will need to complete pre-reqs at NYU if accepted. Terrible news that you heard it's a difficult route to take.

hopefulapplicant - yes, the guy mentioned it is "difficult" because we are placed in the same pool of applicants that have completed all their pre-reqs already. Not that I'd expect to be in a separate pool, but I was hoping they would view my other credentials (past work history and experience etc) more heavily since they wouldn't be able to accurately judge me based on only the few pre-reqs that I've taken (even though they are all A's). Oh well, I guess we just have to wait and see! I'm guessing every Tuesday and Thursday I'm going to have my fingers crossed hoping for an email. Best of luck to you!

I got admitted, and I'm in Chemistry and Micro right now.

By the way I tried making a FB group but it won't let me create it without adding members, but I don't know anyone to add =) I'd love to make a page/group if anyone has better success, I'm wondering if others are looking for an apartment or roommates as well.

You can create a fb group by adding a random friend to the group. (or best friend, so you can use your friend to make a fb group, and then she can leave it later when we join lol!)

They do send out rejection email. I know this by experience :(

Good luck to you!

@Peachypeach719-- Congrats on getting in!! I still haven't heard yet, but I am in the same boat as you- taking Micro and Chem right now. I know they asked for my mid semester grades because my teacher told me. If you don't mind me asking, what were/are your mid semester grades for your micro and chem? Are they both A's? I am just worried because my Micro grade currently is a B and Chem is a C+...all my other prereqs are A's, and was just curious to see where others stood at the mid semester...Do you think they want to see A's at the mid semester? Just worried and anxious!! Any info would help, thanks!! :)

RhodyRed- I'm not aware of your situation. I thought you had to have all pre-reqs done by January admission.

Also to be honest, I'm not convinced that admissions are tiered. Like I said my GPA for my BS wasn't impressive and I'm currently completing 2 pre-reqs. Not to take away credit from myself but I did not consider myself "highly qualified". Maybe it was my PS and recommendation letters....who knows? Also, they never asked me or my professors about my mid-semester grades.

What I am concerned about is the cost, but I knew that was coming. Anyone know any good private nursing loans?
