Thank you!! I had a 3.4 cumulative GPA from undergrad, I think it was a little higher (like 3.5) with my pre-req's and other classes I took post-grad. I got B's in physio and Chemistry and an A in the other classes. I only had 1 recommendation letter from a supervisor that I thought was pretty strong. I thought my personal essay was pretty strong as well. I didn't have a lot of healthcare experience, just volunteered at a hospice and worked at an underserved pre-school for a year. Hopefully this helps, feel free to ask any other questions.

Also side note: I remember feeling super devastated when I got waitlisted after last cycle. It's been a long process re-applying to other schools as well. I hope everyone has been able to manage the stress and anxiety alright because this whole process can be very mentally draining!

I really appreciate you taking the time to write this. I am so incredible happy for you and all of the others who made it in!

Congrats again to everyone that's been accepted!!! Do you all know if your checklist disappeared before receiving your decision? Thank you!

Congrats to all!

I received an email from the Associate Director asking for verification of my midterm grades for my in progress pre-reqs.

Trying my best not to overthink...but hoping to hear soon.

Anyone else receive a similar email??

Thanks! I'm still waiting on some other schools before I decide. The cost is a pretty big deciding factor for me though haha

First of all, congratulations to everyone who earned their acceptances!

I just have a few quick questions-- if anyone knows the answer...

Do acceptances only go out on Fridays? and when you log into your application page where does your status appear (I.e. accepted)?

Lastly, what are people's thoughts on tuition? I feel as though regardless of if I am accepted or not it will be a big deciding factor based on other places I get into.

Thank you!

Going by past posts it seems to be a trend that acceptances go out on fridays. You’ll get varying answers but Friday’s do seem to be the day.

I have no been accepted yet but it seems like you get an email about a decision and it brings you to your portal where there will be a button you click that tells you your decision. If you don’t get an email and randomly sign in to your portal and see a decision has been made I’m not too sure what it looks like. I can only assume all your info would not be there anymore except that decision link

tuition is steep, but then again it’s NYU.

@nursingiscool123I will most likely attend NYU. Tuition is insane but I have heard good things about the program by multiple people so lets see how it goes! I guess if this is really what you want to be nothing else really matters. It rings true for me anyways I understand that some people can't justify the price because it takes one SHINY *** PENNY. I just want to complete a program (no matter which) as quickly as I can so I could start doing something I have passion for. Didn't have the luxury of choosing between schools so I'm counting my lucky stars this will work out. Hope if does for everyone here too! This thread seems extremely passionate and has helped me through a lot of my questions and anxiety so I wanted to take a moment to thank all of you!

Hey! So I did accept my offer. I was accepted to another school as well but I went through pros and cons of the two schools and went with NYU. Tuition was definitely a big deciding factor but to me it was worth it in comparison to the other school for me personally (commuting, etc) and for educational purposes (program length etc).
