what made you guys pick this school for the accelerated program? I applied to NJCU and am waiting their response. So far I got into FDU and Drexels Ace bsn program. They're both very expensive compared to NJCU. I hope I can get in!

I picked NJCU because it's only 1 yr, close to my house, reasonable tuition, and had a friend who liked the program. Really hoping for an acceptance! Good luck to you, did you apply to Wall or JC campus?

I applied to the JC campus. Good luck to you as well. Did you attend the open house? I wasn't able to so I was wondering how good the facility was.

I did, however it was at the Wall campus and we did not have a tour, basically question and answer session.

Has anyone applied to other schools? I had applied to Rutgers but did not got accepted :cry: ... and now I am thinking about UMDNJ if I do not get into NJCU but NJCU is still my #1... ahhh!!! cant wait for this wait to be over! :nurse:

I applied to Wagner in Staten Island but NJCU is my top choice.

Yes, I did not get into Rutgers as well. I knew it would be hard since it's the cheapest program out there. I applied and have been accepted into Drexels ace BSn program, and Failreighdickinson university. THey are all very expensive about 60k for fDU. and 41k for Drexel and room and board would be another 16k.

I know for UMDNJ you can't apply until all of your prerequisites are completed so I haven't applied there yet. I'm waiting to hear back from Suny Downstate medical in brooklyn ( although after I applied I heard not so many great things about them), and NJCU and Seton Hall as well. Anybody know how difficult NJCU nursing program is to achieve high grades? Or what the level of reputation is around hospitals?

rarani · Mar 28, 2012

Yeah NJCU is my top choice as well. I knew Rutgers was hard but I thought being an alumni and knowing the faculty would help me out but I guess not =/... My main issue is a got a C on A&P part two and many of the other programs require a C+ or higher. Nothing I can do now but wait and hope for the best! Although I don't really know what I am going to do if I don't get in. Ahhhh I am going crazy :uhoh3:

Unfortunately, they wouldn't care. I attend their information session a while back. They said all they care about are grades. There are other programs. It might br too late now but you could take another graduate level course at community college and do well strengthening your application for the future.
