Hi, I did not receive a package from the school; I only received the online pdf of my acceptance. Not sure if they mail that kind of stuff out to transfer students.

Nursing was not on my radar back in high school, so I only applied to California universities as a Chemistry major. When I was researching ABSN programs last year, I took a huge risk and only applied to NYU because it had all the qualities I was looking for (minus the cost, haha)

You’re right thank you so much. I’ll definitely contact the financial aid office.

I've been applying to a few different ones, but I doubt I'll be successful.

I recently confirmed my enrollment in NYU's Accelerated BSN Program for Fall 2021, and I'm extremely concerned about the amount of student loan debt I'll accumulate later in life. I knew their program was costly, but it's really hitting me now that I'm trying to figure out how to pay for it. Here's a bit about myself: I am 22 and from CA. Graduated with my first B.S. this month with $27k in federal loans. I'll need $70k to attend for 2/4 semesters, so around $140+ for the entire curriculum. (I've already taken out the maximum amount of federal loans, so private loans are my only remaining option.) Everyone keeps urging me not to go through with this decision and that getting my ADN is the better approach. NYU is my dream school, and I worked so hard not to take advantage of this amazing opportunity, but hearing everyone's opinions makes me feel as if I'll never be able to recover financially. I'd appreciate any advice you could provide me about my situation, as well as your own experience with student loans. I'd also welcome some suggestions for the most reputable private loan lenders, if possible. Thanks in advance to anyone who comments.

Hey there and thanks for replying! I just want to say that I appreciate you sharing your experience. I think it's fantastic that we all come from different backgrounds and will be able to learn from each other while striving to be the best nurses we can be. I can also relate with having an almost 3.3 GPA but from a very small university and having little healthcare experience. This is why I admire NYU's ability to take a chance on applicants like us because of our genuine passion for the field. Fortunately, I was accepted, and am so looking forward to meeting all of you who have been/will be admitted. Congratulations again!

Thank you so much!! I received an email saying an important update is ready to view at 2:14pm. I was on the plane all morning so I wasn’t able to check for any portal changes beforehand.

What are the odds of getting accepted into NYU when flying out to NY for a graduation trip with your family?? Because that happened to me today! I was hysterically crying when my plane landed haha For those still waiting to hear back: Don’t lose hope!!

Thank you so much to everyone who took the time to respond to my question. My parents give me the "It's okay, you're only 22" excuse every week, which is true but doesn't help in this situation, haha. So reading about your unique experiences of getting admitted into the program this early in your career gives me some optimism. I'm hoping to join you this fall, but I'll just have to wait and see. Once again, congratulations on your recent and upcoming graduations, as well as your acceptances!

I'd like to ask those who have already been accepted into the program a question: Are any of you recent new grads or graduating in May 2021? Many individuals seem to have been out of college for several years and have incredible work experience on their resumes, making me think I should do the same and apply in later years to be just as competitive... NYU is the only school I applied for this cycle because I genuinely believed I had a chance of getting in, but now I'm just waiting for my rejection letter at this point. Sorry for the tangent; it's been a particularly frustrating couple of weeks, which is not what I had hoped for, especially with graduation approaching this weekend. Congratulations again to everyone who has been accepted thus far. You're all going to be incredible nurses!

Undergraduate admissions stated that notifications about our admissions decision would be sent via email! Although I have been checking my portal once a day because I am very anxious haha

Congratulations, Laura and Ank2108!

That's interesting because when I asked if I should submit both CSS and FAFSA during an information session, one of the faculty members said to only fill out the FAFSA... I wish I submitted CSS anyways haha

I had the same problem. I mailed in my transcripts in early February and submitted my application on February 28th. After receiving my NYU Portal login on March 3rd, all 3 of my transcripts had the "awaiting" status. I emailed undergraduate admissions about the situation, and they replied, saying none of them even arrived at NYU yet. I was freaking out by this point and ordered the transcripts that same day as pdf documents and paid for expedited shipping. Thankfully, all were received by NYU this morning. I again emailed undergraduate admissions, and by noon, everything was received, which finally completed my checklist. If I were you, I'd send an email to undergraduate admissions requesting confirmation that your transcripts have arrived, as they were extremely helpful and quick!

Hey everyone! I'm in the process of applying for the Fall 2021 cohort, and I'm beyond nervous! I'm graduating in the Spring of 2021 with a B.S. in Exercise Science. I have some healthcare experience as a CNA and also tutored students in A&P. Here are my prereq grades just in case any of you wanted to know: Anatomy: A, Physiology: A-, Gen chem w/ lab: B-, Stats: B+, Lifespan: A, Micro: Pending, Nutrition: Pending Are any of you planning to live on campus? I'm from the West Coast, so I hope to be living in graduate housing if I get accepted.
