@lilyambers: does this mean you've decided not to go to NYU?

Yeah, it does seem to be more research-centered. That was one thing that attracted me to it. I guess it's unfortunate that they'll end their ABSN program, but it might be a good idea to simply attract more candidates that intend to pursue a masters i...

Do you know why that is?

Thanks. I haven't yet thought about that. I'd like to work for a while first.

I got accepted this week with a scholarship to begin in January, and I'm excited to join you guys! I'll be moving from Seattle.

Thanks! I hope you get some good news soon, too! :-)

I'd only need $30k for the whole thing. I got made a Fuld Scholar, which covered close to half of the tuition.

Hey Bryn10, I've ultimately decided that I will not accept the offer to go to NYU. As much as I'm grateful to have gotten in, going there at that cost doesn't seem to be worth it for me. Coincidentally, just yesterday I got accepted with a very, very...

That's very kind of you, thanks. That would solve my problems, should it happen.

I was able to get them to extend the three-week deadline by one week, so I have until next week to decide. I'd like to go, but not at that cost. I suppose everyone else is either fully funded or will be getting a loan for full price? I should hear fr...

Thanks for responding, antigone823. There was the work study option, but I doubt I'd have the time to work during school, with the program being as intense as it is. It still does seem like a fat chunk to throw down, though.

If anyone else has viewed their Bursar Bill, can you help me figure out something? It shows the estimated cost of attendance for the Spring 2015 semester as being $33,310. Is this the same for all four semesters? That's over $130,000. Am I missing so...

Has everyone placed their tuition/housing deposit in?

Well, hello folks! I'm from Seattle, and I am applying to some ABSN programs in the Boston area for 2015. I wanted to know if there was anyone else here on the same journey. I'll be applying to MGHIP, MCPHS University and University of Massachusetts ...

The interviews might not be over two days -- it might be for one day or the other. Although, two days in Portland would be entirely amazing, no? :-) My first choice was really OHSU since the very moment I learnt about the school. We just "clicked." I...

To me, the complicated part is having to use the Nursing CAS portal, as opposed to just applying directly to the school through a native application portal. And since the Nursing CAS has more fields that we are not required to fill out to apply to OH...

lilyambers, living in NYC would be very exciting and I'm going in circles about deciding to attend NYU. I'm holding my spot there at least until UW replies. I'm trying to be reasonable and see past the lights and colors to look onto the fact that by ...

Few schools make their application process unnecessarily complicated. OHSU is one of them.

I live in Seattle presently and so I can tell you confidently that you can get around the city very easily without a car. Most locations where you'll do your clinicals for the are all accessible by bus, and the UW has a free shuttle from campus to UW...

Everything that you just said +1. I'm thinking to myself, "oh, I'll just be poor and indebted for the rest of my life but at least I went to NYU and lived in NYC." Who knows? I might meet Beyoncé somewhere in Lower Manhattan one Friday. Then it would...

Meanwhile, I just received the financial aid award notice from NYU. As I sort of expected, the University aid isn't very much. I've gotten a College of Nursing Scholarship for $3750 per semester - which is $15,000 for all four semesters. That's good,...

Learning4nursing, I hear you. This is a very fundamental decision you (we) are making. Given the option you have of a 32K school, go for it. That obviously is a no-brainer. I'm from the camp that we shouldn't spend excessively on a nursing degree, es...

Did anyone go to the Admitted Students Welcome Night today? In on the west coast so I couldn't attend, but I did get a call from the University to see if I had any questions I wanted to ask. If anyone went, please let us know how it went! Thanks

This is unusual. Our letters said we'd have had it in a week. Two to three weeks would be after the deadline for us to pay our the deposit to secure our place! I think having financial aid information early is an important part in determining whethe...

Has anyone received a letter with their financial aid award yet? It's been more than the one week in which they'd said we would have had it.
