Do you guys have facebook? I'm thinking of making a group, so we can all get to know each other before the semester starts!

I e-mailed Maureen Anello and she transferred me to Tiffany Russell Friedman. Tiffany informed me that she would make my schedule for the fall, so meeting with her was not necessary, so I'm guessing that's the process for everyone?? She also said we would get a welcome package with our schedules (I already saw mine online, lol) and we need to take a math calculation exam for a clinical course s0615 and pigmachine, are you both recent college grads?? I'm only graduating next month, lol

I applied for housing because my commute from LI would be almost 2 hours each way, but worse case scenario if I don't get housing, I'll suck it up and commute and crash at my sister's dorm when I really can't waste time on the commute I'm still waiting for my financial aid package. I'm probably not getting any grants either because I'm getting my BS when I graduate next month. Columbia gave me like close to nothing, which is why I had to turn them down and pray that I get a better package with Pace

They make our schedules for us. Class registration started on April 20 and since I was already accepted before then, they already worked on my schedule, lol. Are you applying for housing?

congrats to you too s0615! Are you definitely going to go to Pace, or are you waiting to hear back from other schools? I just looked up my schedule on mypace and it's definitely going to be a tough semester, lol

It wouldn't hurt to find out the status of your application, lol. You could always just e-mail them, I e-mailed Kathleen Connor ([email protected]), she's a graduate admissions counselor, and she was very helpful in speeding up the application process. I submitted my application back in Sept. 2008, but they didn't start looking at applications until February 2009, so it took about a month to get them to look at my application and give me an answer. Are you thinking of applying for univesity housing or getting an off campus apartment?? I'm going to try for university housing and if that fails, I may TRY and do the commute, but I'll also try and find something off campus if possible. We should definitely look into living together if you do choose to live in the city! We'll be able to help each other get through the rigorous program! :) I'll private message you my e-mail address/facebook link as for computer science, I'm trying to find out if it's really necessary, and if it is, it looks like I'll be taking that class over the summer at a school nearby home, ugh, lol

airjs4321, have you heard anything yet? out of curiosity, have you taken a computer science course? I just read that a computer science course or evidence of word processing and data entry skills is a pre- or co- requisite to graduate nursing courses.......I haven't taken a computer science class, lol, but I definitely have word processing and data entry skills. Do you think they would make us take a test or something to get out of that requirement?

OMG, that's so weird, they lost my second letter of recommendation too! I had to ask my professor to resend it (and he says that he did) but they still didn't put it on record that they got it, so I ended up having my boss e-mail one instead because they said that it could be e-mailed as long as it came directly from the recommendation writer. And actually, in my acceptance letter, it says that I still need to have a second letter of recommendation sent in order to be able to register for classes after the first semester! I e-mailed the admissions office to sort that out because I should be fine in terms of recommendation letters, but if not, I may have to bug my professor or boss again to resend one in the mail. You should definitely get in! You sound like you are much more experienced than I am, and your credentials sound awesome! I'm only a senior at Fordham University right now, graduating in May with a BS in Biology. I was originally pre-med, but I think I'm more suited for the nurse practitioner career, I can't wait to be an FNP! Are you going to try and get university housing if you go to Pace/look for an apartment? The acceptance letter only comes with an immunization form and ID procedure form, I feel a little lost in terms of getting started, haha. It's probably because we need to put our deposit in before they send us all the other information and it's so early..... Thanks for the congrats! I am really excited. I feel like Pace is a better fit for me than Columbia, so I hope everything works out well!

that's awesome! I kept contacting the admissions office to process my application ASAP because Columbia wanted a $500 deposit by tomorrow 3/16 and I didn't want to put that deposit down if I wasn't sure I was 100% going there, lol. I hope you get your decision soon! My freshman year grades weren't that great either, haha. Where do you go to school now airjs4321?

Hi! I just wanted to know if anyone else got into the combined degree program (BSN/MSN) at Pace in NYC for Fall 2009. Is anyone currently attending and have advice for future students? I got accepted into Columbia's ETP program for nursing, but I can't afford to sign my life away on an excess of +$80,000 in loans, so I'll be going to Pace instead! It was my second choice for my undergrad (I ended up going to Fordham University instead), so I'm excited to actually attend Pace :)

anyone here coming straight from undergrad? I feel so young, lol I was originally pre-med, but decided to follow the nursing track instead of going to med school

I got in for NNP did anyone here also apply to Pace's combined degree program?

Hi everyone!! I got in for NNP! Anyone else?? I currently go to Fordham University in the Bronx and I'm graduating with a B.S. in Biology Anyone here from Long Island?
