School starts in a little over a week, and I am facing the reality of the debt that comes with NYU Nursing. NYU was the only program I applied to, and I was so excited to get in that I didn't fully realize the amount of money it cost. Though this Accelerated BSN program is ideal, I am seeking advice on whether or not I should withdraw my acceptance and choose something cheaper in the Fall. This is a huge debate in my head...is the school where you get a BSN important when you apply for an MSN? NYU MSN-Nurse Practitioner is unquestionably my top choice after I finsh the BSN. If I were to get my BSN elsewhere, would that harm my chances of getting into NYU for grad school? Another consideration: My GPA from my first degree is a meager 3.28...thankfully NYU's application is a little well rounded and looks at other factors. Should I choose to look for a cheaper BSN, would my low GPA put me out of the running for schools like Hunter? Is Hunter even a good program? I was attracted to NYU for it's learning environment, supportive atmosphere and good clinical experience. I hear a lot about the disorganization of CUNY schools...is it really that bad? Also, if I did take on the debt from NYU, are hospitals eager to repay loans? I'm in need of some serious guidance. Please help. Thanks.
