EMTLeen- There are quite a few more pre-req's for traditional transfers than for accelerated students. Here is the link to the curriculum worksheet for traditional transfer students: http://www.nyu.edu/nursing/academicprograms/bachelors/FourYearandTransferStudentBSCurriculum.pdf According to this, and as confirmed by my transfer credit evaluation, you will need the folowing courses in addition to the accelerated pre-req's: Intro to Psychology, Intro to Sociology, 2 writing courses, 1 semester of foreign language, 16 credits of liberal arts (4 credits must be social science) electives, Texts and Ideas (part of Morse Academic Plan - American History seemed to suffice for this) and Cultures and Contexts (part of Morse Academic Plan). NYU's requirements are not nearly as bad as most of the other schools I applied to. Hopefully you will hear soon! My Albert account was never really accurate.

I applied as a traditional transfer. I have lots of college credits, but no degree yet. I was accepted via email on April 15th. I applied early - I think at the end of January/beginning of February.

EMTLeen- I was admitted as a transfer student. You have to finish all of the pre-req's (liberal arts and science) before starting the nursing courses. I have 2 liberal arts classes that I need to take before beginning the nursing courses. I was given the option of doing this over the summer at another college, in which case I would start the nursing classes in the fall, or at NYU in the fall, in which case I would start the nursing classes in the spring.

Kelbel- All traditional and accelerated students take classes together. As a second degree student, you are automatically placed on the accelerated track, which means you will take classes over the summer. However, as an accelerated/second degree student you can decide to switch to the traditional semester format and skip the summer session. Similarly, as a traditional transfer student you can decide to instead take summer classes and join the accelerated track. I am a traditional transfer but plan to join the accelerated track. I am not sure how many seats are available total. I remember reading somewhere (I think on an old thread here) that they look to enroll 120 students total (traditional transfer, accelerated, freshmen) each semester. Actually, I just found the thread. Here is the link. https://allnurses.com/ny-nursing-programs/nyu-accel-bsn-437729-page17.html For what its worth, it looks like you have much higher odds of being admitted as an accelerated student. Good luck to everyone still waiting!!!

Hi Kelbel I received my acceptance via email along with the first batch of accelerated students that were accepted on April 15th. I received the packet by regular mail a week after my acceptance email. This leads me to believe that traditional transfer/accelerated students are all being considered in the same applicant pool.

I think I am the only traditional transfer on this board that has already gotten a decision. I believe that everyone else on this board that has been admitted is accelerated/second degree.

I don't think there is a difference between when they admit traditional transfer/accelerated students. I found out that I was accepted April 15th. I'm a traditional transfer, but have finished almost all my prereqs., and if I finish two more liberal arts classes over the summer, I can start my clinical sequence in the fall and join the accelerated track. I originally thought traditional transfers found out after accelerated students but I guess not. I think we are all in the same consideration pool.

Penny - You just reminded me - Sunset Park in Brooklyn is also a good option. I have some friends who I grew up with that moved out there. Sunset Park is just north of Bay Ridge - but this slight bit North means you get more subway options incluing an express train that gets you to Union Square (near NYU) in about 25 minutes. Also another option, in Manhattan is Peter Cooper or Stuyvesant Town. The apartments are big and within walking distance to NYU. Rents include all utilities (gas, electric, air conditioning). I have a few friends who have moved there. The one bedrooms can be converted easily into 2 or 3 bedrooms - these one bedrooms are actually bigger than a lot of "real" 2 or 3 bedrooms in the city. Stuyvesant Town is slightly cheaper than Peter Cooper.

I grew up in NYC - right near NYU (my parents moved to the neighborhood in the early 70's for my mom to go to NYU) and have lived in the neighborhood most of my life. It's a great neighborhood, but the rents are truly astronomical; it's really not worth the $ unless you are okay with a very small space. Small by NYC standards is smaller than most other standards. That being said, here are some other options. For those of you looking for housing in the NYC area with an easy commute to NYU, I would suggest looking into Jersey City, NJ or Hoboken, NJ (make sure you are near the Path train if you choose either of these areas). Brooklyn can get pricey, especially the areas with an easy commute to Manhattan (NYU area), but some nice neighborhoods with a relatively easy commute are: Fort Greene, Park Slope, Cobble Hill, Prospect Heights, Greenpoint (this can turn into a bit of a pain - you're looking at taking two subways to get to Manhattan - however this keeps the cost down and it's a fun neighborhood) and Williamsburg. For those of you willing to venture further out into Brooklyn to get more space at a lower cost, I would look at Midwood or Bay Ridge. Queens can be a good deal. Astoria and Long Island City are the trendier areas - both have an easy commute to NYU. Astoria has more of a neighborhood fell, I personally prefer it to Long Island City. If you're willing to venture further out, I would look at Forest Hills, Sunnyside, Rego Park or Woodside. If you really want to stay in Manhattan - look into Murray Hill or the Upper East Side.

Thanks for the reply! I called at the end of March and they said they were sorting through all the applications. I guess more waiting!

Hi Sc2634- I was accepted today as a traditional transfer - I applied by the 3/1 priority deadline. I will be done with my last science prereq (micro) in a few weeks. I don't know what if any additional classes I will have to take before joining the accelerated track. Hopefully, few if any - I have a ton of college credits. I'm guessing I'll find out after I pay my deposit :)

I live in NYC right near NYU. As far as NJ goes, Hoboken and Jersey City are great options. These areas of NJ are served by the Path train - which is very similar to the subway (except cheaper and cleaner!). The Path lets you off within walking distance of NYU. These areas of NJ may even be easier to commute from than some areas of Brooklyn/Queens. Depending on where you are in these areas (Jersey City or Hoboken) your Path train ride can honestly be as short as 10 minutes! I've lived in NYC my whole life and would be happy to give my opinion on neighborhoods, commutes, etc...

Jdubs Happy to share my stats it will probably put your mind at ease:). I am a traditional transfer (but from what I've heard it's harder to be accepted as a traditional transfer than as accelerated - fewer seats available) - never finished my last semester of college - eek. My GPA before starting prerequisite course work was around a 2.8-2.9. I got all A's in my prereqs plus some additional classes I took just to try and get it higher - making it about 3.1. No volunteer experience. I think my essay and recommendation letters must have really helped. Good luck! Hope you hear soon :)

I'm also trying to study but I am way too excited. I can barely contain myself!

I got in!!! I've been quietly following this thread as I am a traditional transfer - never finished my first degree...really didn't think I had a chance, but I got in! Soo excited! I already live in NYC - now just to think about the $$. Any other traditional transfers here back???
