Hi everyone! I'm applying for the NYU Spring 2015 ABSN program and haven't been able to find any threads about the program yet. Feel free to post questions you have or to share information about the program, your personal stats, advice for writing the personal statement or just to say hi. Here's to speedy acceptances and a fun future in nursing! :)
My Stats:
Just graduated from Brooklyn College with a B.S. in Psychology and an overall GPA of 3.38
Got an A in almost all the pre-reqs, don't know the pre-req GPA
Volunteered as an EMT for 4 years and worked for 2 years
Worked as a Direct Care Worker for 1 year
Volunteer in Methodist Hospital in the Stepdown Unit
I think the reason why there aren't that many people responding is because there are less people that apply for spring admission. I was told when I called NYU's nursing department that there are a lot less applicants for the spring.
I'm also in the process of applying to NYU's accelerated nursing program. I graduated with a Finance degree about 8 years ago and worked in banking for a few years. So far I only have Anatomy, Micro and Nutrition to finish and I don't know what to expect for this admission cycle with NYU. I'm submitting all my documents tomorrow.
So all my transcripts and letters of recommendations are now sent in. I spoke with them yesterday to confirm if they've received it. They've said we'll hear admissions decisions by November.
I went to their information session last night and it was really informative! The price tag is hefty but like they said its an investment and after visiting last night, I completely agree. They didnt say how many they seem to accept accelerated students the most. 35% accelerated, 30% transfer and traditional 4 year was surprisingly the least amount.
I sent in my application last week. Im not too confident that Ill be accepted but I cant be told no unless I apply!
Thanks for the info hope! Yikes, that is a low percentage. I wish we had the numbers tho..like how many people apply. Were there a lot of people at the info session?
I found some numbers from a previous thread but they are for fall entrance.. "They also said they get about 1,000 applicants and a Fall entrance class usually have about 150 students in it."
They wouldn't give actual numbers out, only percentages but they did say it all depends on that cohort applying. So more can be accepted this year rather than last year or vice versa. The room was small but filled and it was a mix of accelerated applicants and traditional students. I would recommend attending an info session, if you can, to see the campus/ learn more about NYU.
Ah ok, yea I'm signed up for the online session because I live in chicago and can't make it to the campus right now. I guess all we can do is keep our fingers crossed. :)

Hey Petrichor,
