Hi guys! Thought I'd make a forum for NYU's ABSN Program for fall 2020.
Let me introduce myself. My name is Alexis Paige. Currently in California. I received my BA in psych from a private university with a GPA below 3.0. Took pre-reqs in multiple community college while working. Ended up with the same GPA as undergrad ?
Here's my stats:
Anatomy: C (planning to retake in spring 2020)
Physio: A-
Microbio: C+ (planning to retake in spring 2020)
Chem for health sciences: C+
Nutrition: A
Stats: C
Lifespan dev: B
Volunteer experience at Stanford University. Do you think I have chance with NYU? I feel like my only hope in getting in are the letter of recs + personal essay.
Feel free to comment whatever is on your mind. What are your stats? Where are you from and what other schools will you be applying at? Help a sistah out!
I really think they are still seeing how many spots they have after counting totals Of people who accepted their offer and what not, and once they know they’ll let us know on July 15th if they have spots open. I do not think they are letting the people on the waitlist know as soon as a spot gets available. They probably will just let us all know on that specific date, I guess it’s easier for them. I do not think this is the same process as the initial acceptance process. I feel like with all that’s going on, people have already withdrew/ declined their offer and they would’ve told us by now if they were doing it immediately. I’m sure there’s going to be spots, just we have to wait till next month for a sure response. That’s just my opinion, does not mean it’s true. This is why I still put my deposit down and had my schedule done at another school, and told that school if NYU accepts me I will be going there instead, just in case things change.
Thats the same thing I figured! was just trying to clarify with the student above. *fingers crossed*
I have no idea what administrations exact rationale is, but I can share this much: I was accepted into the program relatively early(like...early April y'all) and never responded. I eventually decided I did, indeed, wish to attend the program and accepted my package. Like nearly 3 months later... so only administration knows how many other students are in a similar spot, and those are the spots you're waiting for. I mean it worked great for me, but I recognize that's a struggle for other students waiting desperately to hear back. I do imagine they are letting a bunch of students know at once.
I don’t think there’s as many people on the waitlist as it seems. This thread just happens to have the bulk of them. We will probably hear back on the 15th then. It is what it is. don't be so hard on yourselves. It’s a rough year, and the fact you guys still want to be in this profession after all that’s happened says a lot. You have spirit. We’ll all get someplace NYU or not. Nyu would be nice to attend but it’s definitely not the end all be all. I’m sure in 5 years it won’t even matter that we graduated from NYU well all be doing the same job. Just something to keep in mind. The nurses I work with at my job tell me all the time it doesn’t matter whether I graduate from a CUNY or NYU well all he doing the same job. Nursing is not like business school. At the end of the day the name you graduated from doesn’t determine what you are assigned to as a nurse. You do the same assignments. And no matter what school you graduate from most nurses tell me they all felt unprepared for the NCLEX.
Also just to add some commentary, applications are close to being open again, meaning if we don't make it in this round we should have everything in order for the next. We are no longer novices at using NursingCAS.
Heyyyy ? How is everyone feeling about final decisions going out this week? I know that I am trying my best to relax, but that I am still a little nervous.
