I am very much leaning towards attending the NYU second degree program over LIU in the fall and would like some insight as to what to expect. Please include any details you would like to share.
What are typical class hours during the Fall, Spring and Summer semesters?
Is it 5 days a week, pretty much all day?
Were you able to do an externship?
How many students per class? Clinicals?
Is/was getting through the 15 months harder/easier than expected?
What were the easiest classes, if any? Any classes that we particularly challenging, difficult or confusing?
Any additional suggestions/details would be great.
I received my acceptance package yesterday via snail mail. I haven't decided whether or not I will be accepting yet. They did offer me studenth housing, are there any Accelerated students who are living in the NYU housing? I just have no idea what to expect from their dorms!
i received an acceptance letter yesterday too!
i talked to some people via facebook who are in the accelerated program staying in housing. they say that they try to put accelerated nursing students together. one girl staying in one of the dorms said her whole floor is students from the accelerated nursing program. so some students in the program do pursue housing, but most don't. i'm actually looking into it.
Did you apply to other schools? a lot of people are saying that NYU wants to get decisions out when they know one is applying to competing schools so the individ. can make a decision. I made the mistake by stating in my essay that I am only interested in the NYU program. Dont know if that's good or not.
Thanks.
MJM... I wouldn't overthink it. Admissions is just a game but don't get caught up in the fine details. Universities and colleges know most students will apply to other schools, whether or not they say it on their applications. Admissions teams just like to know who they're being compared to. It doesn't make a difference to them and they're not going to spend the time to check. When you're one of 4,000 applicants, they're not going to think "awh, NYU is the only school he/she is applying to, maybe we should accept him/her!" You're either going to be what they're looking for or you're not. Unless you're an Olsen twin, you're just grouped into two groups: qualified/unqualified. It's a harsh process and every university is so different, there's no way to predict if you'll line up with what they want. For example, I was waitlisted at my safety and accepted at my two reach schools (one of which I didn't meet the grade requirement). You just never know until you apply!!!
Just curious, did you file your app exactly by the priority deadline. Everything was completed, for me, around March 10th (wk after priority deadline). Wondering if I'm in the second batch of decisions. Also, just wondering if mailing were received early to those on the East Coast side. Are you coming fr. the East or West Coast? I guess that's why NYU Admissions recommended to stay away fr. forums, you get ultra-curios of those who got accepted. Ha-ha.

Congratulations to all for early acceptances!
Hey! I actually had my app complete in December lol. So I'm not sure when they started looking at apps but you could be in the next batch?! They may have already made a decision and just haven't sent u a letter yet! It seems I got my letter 1 day later than some ppl in ny state. So maybe they sent mine earlier than they sent theirs or did priority or something cuz I live in Texas.
Did all of you who have received a letter in the mail call to check when you'd be getting a response? I called in march to make sure they had all of my application materials and they said they did. Do you think I should call to check the status of my application?

Hello again ChristinaG123 :)
You were waitlisted at your safety school?? Which was that? Curry was actually my safety school oddly enough! I still haven't heard back from NYU yet but just got acceptance to another school. Was considering calling NYU to get them to tell me sooner since my deposit due date is only in a few weeks How much is the deposit anyway for NYU?
Not sure if this is the same thread but just FYI, I called NYU regarding status check and they said my app is complete and under review. I submitted my completed app around 2nd wk of March so I figure another batch of decisions will be coming out by early May.
Do most students actually finish the program??? I know someone who actually was held back a semester for getting a grade below a b-.... I believe you can't pass a class without a B-. Do you have to repeat the whole semester or just that class? I know it's tough and just want to be prepared...

I'm not sure what the attrition rate is, but it is safe to say that most people finish the program. I know a couple that didn't pass, and a few more who have come pretty close to not passing (B- minimum), but most aren't in that situation.
If you get lower than a B- you 'decelerate,' and you must retake the course the next semester. No, you don't have to repeat the courses you passed.
Does anybody know what they're going to do with housing? Are people living in dorm rooms or trying to find a place in the city - either with a roommate or alone? I just wanted to see what people were thinking. I'm a bit older than most undergrads so I didn't want to live in the dorms, but I know living in the city can be $$$$$$$. Let me know what everyone thinks! Thanks!
