The UW Nursing Admissions blog has been updated with a post that says: [h=1]ABSN Applications Update[/h] Thank you to the 159 applicants who applied to our 2015 Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (ABSN) program! Applications have gone to...

Congrats!!!! You're a superstar today! Good luck to everyone else who might be getting into today too! What state are you from?

Lovely. So in a way going to NYU would be a sort of personal fulfillment and would complete a full circle for you, I imagine, right? It's true the NYU name will open a lot of doors. It's great that you're in this time, and you'll have the opportunity...

Antigone823, It's wonderful that you've accepted this offer! Though, wasn't your other university $20,000 cheaper? Aceeden05, I'm first waiting on the financial aid award to determine how much I'll need to supplement with private loans, then determi...

No prob. Thanks for answering, too. So, my EFC is $0.00. (Poor people over here!) And I guess if we receive the grant - and this is speculative - that would lower tuition by $14,000. For me, that would reduce the cost to an amount comparable to the o...

The deposit is $500. There is also a separate deposit of $1000 for housing, if that applies. Did everyone who apply also receive a housing offer? Meanwhile, I spoke with NYU today, and they have said that we should get our financial aid award notices...

The letter I received requested that I pay the deposit by the end of three weeks from the date of the letter. That puts it at December 2. But surely the next round of admissions has to be before that.

Thanks! That's really insightful info. I hope you'll get some news about your application this week. I find it odd that they don't tell everyone at the same time. I wonder why that is.

I have some question for anyone who is able to answer: What is the likelihood of NYU grads getting jobs in the city after finishing the nursing program? Do you know whether the program, being accelerated, offers externships at any of the local hospit...

There'll likely be more letters this week. I doubt the acceptances last week were all that NYU made. So, be prepared to hear more news in the coming days.

I'm considering putting down the deposit for the housing offered through NYU. Do any of you know whether this would be a less worthwhile option than living off campus?

NYU sent out an email for admitted students to attend an event next week. Will any of you be going? I wish I could, but I'm on the West coast.

Congrats to you! You deserve to dance. Do you know whether you'll apply for housing with NYU?

Wait, if you are a female -- and you are -- you wouldn't be a doctor? I don't think that's a solid reason to be (or not be) anything. I could easily be a doctor, as could you possibly. But males can also be competent nurses. Nurses train doctors, so ...

This is true, I believe. I'd like to go into research and advanced practice nursing afterwards, so I think it would be great to have that reputation to accompany you. I recently read an article that NYU grads are among those considered by hospitals t...

I typed it in. I doubt it matters.

This is a complicated part of the decision. JHU is higher ranked (#!) but the won't let me know until February, and the program doesn't begin until summer. I give up NYU and remain as a candidate for JHU, but I might not even get in. Bird in the hand...

Some heavy thinking is about to go down. I was cynical at first, but now that I'm in I'm finding ways of arguing that the price might be worth it. It would be really lovely to have the name of such a prestigious university supporting your career. Oh ...

I'm in Seattle. I read the email twice now. This is SO exciting!! Holy hell.

Me too!!!!!

If you guys get in, where will you live?

Last year's decisions, according to the previous threads, started going on November 19.

It does seem weird to have to pay to get financial aid. Anyways so we'll be hearing about acceptance soonish?

Yep, I am male. I would hope, though, that my chances of getting in depend more on my grades than my sex. If I got in, I would likely anguish over whether they had accepted me for being a token male, or for my grades, which are good and are worth mer...

I applied for the ABSN in mid September. All my documents are in. My undergrad GPA is 3.91 and my nursing prereqs GPA is 4.0. It will be lovely to hear their decision soon.
