Nyu Accelerated BSN spring 2014

Published

Hello everyone! I made this thread in order to find everyone is also also planning on applying NYU accelerated nursing program. The application for the spring opens on October 1st and I am so excited! :)

Hi everyone - you can fax them a handwritten note or a screenshot. If you call them, you will likely just tell you to send to the main admissions email box. Try to get a name. Tell them why you think it is important. Sometimes when you call you get a student. Other times you get someone more "official". Keep calling till you get someone who isn't giving just the boiler plate answers. You might try to look through the Fall 2013 board for the name. I can't remember myself or I would tell you. Good luck everyone!

@realdream really, congrats on the acceptance from your other school. Yea I haven't called yet sucks we have to wait this long but at least it isn't a flat out NO lol. I think I'll be sending them my mid semster grades for the two pre reqs I have in progress. I can't wait to find out ! =)

Thank you! I did get accepted to all schools applied, 4 or 5... but the thing that I was aiming for NYU is killing me & messes up the joy... ugh but I guess whatever meant to be... hope we all are going to be in a good place after graduation...

I emailed and called a few people, and they all pretty much said the same thing, give the 8 weeks from initial application submission. I have all my pre-reqs and everything completed and even added more volunteer experience, so I don't know what else I could add or send over! Hopefully we find out this week!

I think BK makes the most sense.

I 'm from Nor Cal, Bay areaaaaaaaa.

The burden of NYUCN's tuition and living expenses are going to be worth the experience. NYU is internationally recognized for its research and humanitarian efforts.

Hi Everyone! I am starting the program this January as well and have lived in NY since 2000. As for real estate guidance, I would strongly push for BK or Queens. I lived in Manhattan for 7 years but love living in BK. And think of the commuting time as studying time. What I would say is to make sure you are a close walk (ideally 5 to 7 minutes) to a GOOD subway line (or multiple lines). Assuming you are trying to not spend a fortune, I would look at Prospect Heights (close to TONS of subways, South Park Slope, maybe parts of Fort Greene close to the subway, and maybe Sunset Park or Borugh Park/Crown Heights area. Other parts of BK that are super nice, cute, fashionable but expensive are Dumbo, Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens, non- South Park Slope and of course Brooklyn Heights. I don't know North BK that well. Greenpoint is super cool but a transportation disaster. Williamsburg is as hip as it gets and the L isn't that bad (but I also think Williamsburg is very expensive).

Also, as an aside I have spoken to many people who don't go to class but instead do the podcasts. Not sure if this is what I will do but I would prefer to be in a nicer apartment watching the podcast than in a 4 br share in the E. Village where the living room is now someone's bedroom.

Also, if you are looking for your own apartment be prepared to pay a brokers fee which is usually 15% of the first years rent. Yes, only in NYC does this exist but it is pretty hard to avoid. Broker Fee "free" apartments are usually much higher priced or hard to rent which is why a broker won't take them.

Good luck and looking forward to meeting you all in January!

Very Helpful!

hey bcbischo,

What exactly did you e-mail? Did you e-mail a note from your professors stating your midterm grades or you send a note/screenshot version of your grades? Kinda debating on what route to take when sending in these grades. & yes I absolutely hope the odds are in our favor this week! =]

@dath3 before I even contacted my professors I sent an email explaining that I would like my current grades to be taken under consideration because I am taking so many prereqs right now. I just told him what I am currently getting, 3 A's and a B. But I contacted a couple of my professors and I am going to get notes from them(word documents, probably a couple handwritten ones and a screenshot of my only online grade) which I am going to attach to another single email and send ASAP! I talked to an admissions counselor this morning and asked if it would even make a difference in my decision and she said that it would! She also said that I could just send what grades I am getting and that they would take my word for it, since we have to send official ones eventually before we can start the program. My advice: send whatever you got!!

@dath3 @bcbischo I graduated this past May but was in a similar predicament when I applied. I asked my pre-req professors to email admissions directly and to CC me in the email. It was a simple email stating the name of the professor, the institution, and my midterm/current grade for the course. It was easy and apparently that was all the confirmation admissions needed.

wait, so you got accepted right after sending this in?!? this just makes me feel that much more eager to send in some other documentation. NYU is the only school i have applied to so i have a lot riding on this decision. im pretty sure my friends and family are sick of me talking about NYU at this point lol

The odds are they getting so many calls and emails, that it would not change their speed of reviewing particular cases, I think it was just coincidence for some people who got lucky..
