NYU Accelerated BSN Fall 2009

Scouter82 · Apr 3, 2009

Congratulations LaurelMarie! Moving completely across country will definitely be an exciting change, NYC is obviously going to be a huge adjustment from Seattle, but I'm sure you will love everything that NYC and the east coast has to offer! Is NYU housing an option for you? I don't know how good school's living arrangements are, but at least you would be guaranteed to be close to classes and with other students who might be coming from different states as well. Like I said, I have not decided for sure if I will go to NYU this fall, but I will probably try to live with a friend of mine who lives in Lower Manattan if I do. I was also hoping to hear the experiences of former or current students of the accelerated program, perhaps there is another thread where we can get some insight!

Thanks on the congrats Blackhorizon! Yes you are right, the NYU tuition is definitely NOT CHEAP, which is something I am taking into consideration...good luck with SUNY, I hear that's a great program as well, and much more economical :wink2: The other schools I applied to are Villanova (both the 2 yr and the 14 month accelerated program), which is also pretty pricey, and Seton Hall. I missed the application deadlines for a few others I was considering, but I think I'll be happy wherever I end up! Luckily I don't have any more loans to pay back from undergrad so I figure this career change might be worth whatever temporary debt I throw myself into...haha.

heyyy

congrats to everyone who got in!!!!!

I sent in my application a couple of weeks before the deadline- I just called NYU and they said they had reviewed my application and are sending out the next batch of letters by the end of the week.

good luck to everyone!

I JUST got my acceptance letter! I am so happy and excited. I already live in the East Village so this is super convenient too. Good luck to all those to are still waiting!

Does anyone have an idea of how many students they accept into the program per term?

jistravel · Apr 13, 2009

I was searching for info on how many are accepted and how big the class size is myself but cannot find anything. In my letter they said that there were 4,250 applicants for the incoming class but not sure if thats including the traditional bsn as well.

From browsing the thread it seems that the classes used to be somewhere between 80-95 students, but for the last two years the classes have swelled to around 185 students w/ small clinical groups btwn 8-10 students.....not sure if this is accurate

hello all,

First off congratulations to those who have made it to NYU!! I applied two days before the March 1st deadline, so still waiting ( and am sure not likin' it). I got an email last week asking for my mid-term grades for this semester, did anyone else receive that too? I don't know what to make out of it though, I was just happy that my file wasnt in a shredder :)

For those of you who have already received your accepatnce letter, did you also receive anything for scholarship or financial aid? ( They didnt have a seperate application for scholarship/fin aid as far as I can remember) so I was just wondering how they are going to determine the eligibility?

Good luck!

woohoo! I just received my acceptance letter, I am so excited!!!

In the packet that I got was no mention of scholarships or financial aid. However, if you didn't you should definitely fill out the fafsa.

good luck!

congrats to all who heard! I also got my packet a couple of days ago but I'm still waiting to hear back to see what kind of scholarships they're giving. Do you guys have any idea when we're supposed to hear about that?

alicia09 · Apr 14, 2009

Hi, did Ya'll apply for any particular scholarship application? I remember reading on the application that there wasnt any separate application if we wanted to be considered for any scholarship. But again I might have missed it as I was rushing through writing those essays at the last hour. I still havent heard anything,I am kinda giving up congratulations all of you who got in!!!

AG128 · Apr 14, 2009

I spoke to the financial aid office today- she said they didn't send out anything yet and we should hear by May.

Alicia09 don't give up! they send the acceptances out in batches at a time- good luck!:)

Congrats to all that got into NYU!!! I submitted my application way back in December and still waiting for a response. Waiting is the hardest part! For those who have been accepted what is the deadline for you send in your deposit/ letting them know you will be attending. Also did anyone receive any rejection notices from NYU? Rejected or accepted I'm going crazy not knowing :bugeyes: !!!

Hey Alicia09 we are in the same boat. I'm keeping my fingers crossed us and all others that are waiting.
