I can definitely relate! But, hopefully you also have a great pre-req GPA to counter the cumulative GPA, and your essay is well-written, too. Good luck, as well!

Hey all, Just took the HESI A2 on Thursday and scored a cumulative 94.67; I studied the guides I mentioned in my previous post, and made sure I was well-acquainted with Biology concepts along with A&P (it's been awhile for the former!). I finishe...

I'm applying to Jersey City! I sit for the HESI on Thursday, so reading through the official HESI A2 Exam Review, 3rd ed. (Elsevier) and the Nursing School Entrance Exams, 6th ed. (Kaplan). In regards to the official review book regarding A&P, m...

Congratulations to all of you who've gotten accepted! And for those on waitlist, good luck! I just came back from a family trip and was declined for both Newark and New Brunswick I had a feeling it may mostly be my My stats: BS in Nutrition and He...

Thanks for the update! I called this morning, as well, but was told that they are finalizing decisions and will be sending them out "shortly" (had no date in specific), and only via regular mail. Hopefully your info is more exact!

Haven't heard anything just yet. Planning to give them a call Friday afternoon, as it took some time for them to begin sending out decisions the last cohort (around the 5th week post-deadline); as many of the previous applicants indicated, the nursin...

Hey Lizzie626, I also did, and I'm hoping it increases our chances of being offered a seat. I looked through the administration page and staff directory, and I can't say definitively if they have separate admissions selection committees; from the lo...

Hey rom12345, Just contacted both NursingCAS and Rutgers right after you posted: 1) Becoming a fully verified (aka "COMPLETED" status) application will take 4-6 weeks from the time of online submission (e.g., October 1st deadline submission = Novembe...

I've just found out about the program a few weeks ago, and have excitedly read up on everyone's insights! Glad to know that it's a holistic app evaluation, but I have a feeling the GRE scores will be one of the initial "weed-out" factors, since I'm s...

Thanks Mimi0914! I hope it'll be the same for us, a month wait (then, it'll only be about two more weeks from today =p)! I also hope they'll release decisions before the middle of November... so I change decision on taking the GRE for another applica...

Hi minttea90, Unfortunately, I couldn't find such, too! Sorry, I wasn't as clear; I'll be applying to ABSNs, but the only instant decision for that that I know of is LIU (applying to Brooklyn campus); in terms of open houses with instant decisions, I...

Hey bb18! We most likely will have a looooong wait (see the message thread of the agony endured by the last cohort! ) until we receive even acknowledgement before the applications are being reviewed, PLUS some of us are still in NursingCAS limbo (eve...

Hi Lizzie626, From when I asked for clarification during one of the online question sessions, it was about 50-60 students per campus (Newark and New Brunswick only; Camden had its own admissions), but of course based on what they felt would best fit ...

Yikes! If you haven't received an email confirmation from the schools that you've purchased your transcripts, I'd say contact those schools as well; it may have been possibly misaddressed (were you given an option to select NursingCAS's transcript de...

lte16, Thanks so much for your insight! From what I understood from my conversation with the nursing recruiter, she mentioned that about 50-60 applicants are selected for both Newark and New Brunswick campuses, although I hope that stays true for thi...

Hi Lizzie626! Same here; that time that it takes to have our transcripts verified scares me, so I'm glad there's some time to allow it to happen! My personal statement ended up being a page-and-a-half, however I did inquire and the person who assist...

Just contacted the nursing admissions department, and was told that the application is considered "complete" only after the transcripts have been verified by NursingCAS; confirmation of receiving transcripts is not sufficient. However, I was also inf...

Hey all, Now I'm worried--did the program require to have the all the transcripts verified? All I had were confirmations that all my transcripts have been received a few weeks ago.

Hey adrilambb! Thanks, and do your best with your classes! Here's what I've been doing, and hopefully this helps with your questions! When you log into NursingCAS and access your "My Application" screen, navigate to the "Program Materials" from the...

I'm applying to both campuses for myself, by the way; I'd rather err on applying to both programs, as opposed to not getting accepted to neither at all!

Firstly, congratulations to all of you that got accepted for the Fall 2015 cohort! I know that they were so belated with replies, but I'm sure you're sharing with all the others starting on the academic journey full of "hills and valleys" toward a nu...

I'm planning on applying for Fall 2015 myself, but I'm worried about the pre-requisite courseload (planning on Micro, A&P I, and Gen Chem II at a community college for the spring semester; hoping to take A&P II at Rutgers summer session II, s...
