NYU- Fall 2007 Accelerated Nursing Program

ffweste · May 5, 2007

Ushalfred- ABSN programs are all over - I got into one here in Oklahoma. If you have a degree, than you are almost there. You just need to check prereq.'s and make sure that you have everything. I didn't, so I spent 1 year taking sciences. Depending on where you go, there maybe a grade forgiveness. I am not sure about other programs - but my program is 15 months, we start June 4th and will graduate in July 08.

Also - here in OK, they only start the ABSN once a year - so you will definitely want to find out by inquiring at the schools.

Best of luck to you!

I got my financial aid stuff in the mail today...and I won't be going to NYU as a result. Good luck to everyone.

hey gogatsby- I got mine too and actually think I will be going there as a result. Will you be headed to Rush in Chicago? Are you looking for a full Financial Aid package? The offer from NYU should cover everything except for 3,000 each semester. I guess I am happy with that.. Not sure what to expect, but I only got ~50% for each semester from Marymount.

I got $8500 in scholarships from NYU for the year and the rest of the offer was in loans. Even with the scholarship Rush is significantly cheaper, so I'm going there.

I got my letter on Saturday! But I did something stupid- I completely forgot to do the FAFSA. I will be submitting that online tomorrow, but I'm bracing myself for all loans. Either way I'm looking forward to going to NYU.

hannah- I'll see you in the fall- I'll be going to NYU! I did my FAFSA late and it worked out okay! Good luck!

westeastcoast- how long did it take for NYU to get your Financial Aid package ready after you filed your FAFSA? I don't want to pest the Fin Aid office too early, but I just want to get my ducks in a row.

See you in the Fall!

hey hannah8- I entered my Fafsa around the 15th of April and just received my package on Saturday. Do you live in the NYC area or do you have to move? My fiance and I are moving from San Diego in August- it will be a big change! I was deciding between Marymount and NYU and just made up my mind yesterday!! Good luck with financial aid!

Wow not a bad turn around time then. I'm wondering when we'll get the registration info etc.

I've lived in Queens with my parents for over 10 years now, and I went to a high school and college at and around Chelsea. I wouldn't claim to be an expert on the NYU area, but I have a favorite Japanese restaurant at St. Mark's.

I hope you won't find the move to be too hectic.

Congratulations on your decision, I know you had a hard time deciding!

NYU will be a great place to be, and even though both NYC and NYU are expensive it is worth it, I think.

I applied to the regular BSN as a transfer, but havn't heard anything yet, mid may they say.

Welcome to the city!

Thanks everyone! From what I hear, NYU has a great reputation- is it the same with nursing? I hope so! I got a ton of advice from other nurses and most of them said that the school won't matter in the long run, but I had a hard time saying no to NYU!!!
