It's good to finally get done with the proctored essay yesterday. It didn't seem as challenging as I'd imagined it. The essay section did require some introspection; I took a good 10 minutes thinking on what to write. I even started over a few times....

Fantastic choices! I avoided applying to Penn because of the tuition. I do wish you luck with them all!

FunkySkunk, what other schools have you applied to?

Well I got it as soon as I applied with the electronic application. About an hour after. Did you also submit your application electronically?

There is a note saying NYU Albert will be down on October 17th, which is today. If anyone sees something unusual on their account, that might explain it.

Yup, I agree. I mean, we will have *some* debt on graduating, but little debt is better than big debt. It would be nice to say we went to a highly selective prestigious school, but essentially what matters is passing the NCLEX, and many schools besid...

Hey. I also got accepted to a school in Massachusetts that starts this January. It has a great NCLEX pass rate and it's loads cheaper than NYU so I've been inclining lately towards going, though I'm still curious to hear from NYU. I've been speaking ...

Yep. Also going to become a CRNA. I haven't looked into CRNA programs yet since the first step is to actually get into a nursing school. But I'll be working towards acquiring some ICU experience in the years after graduation, though.

Petrichor, similar path for me. What school are you planning on attending?

I haven't paid the deposit yet. I had been waiting for more information on the school in order to be comfortable in deciding to go there, which I have. I'll get around to paying in the coming days, if not tomorrow. So scrub fitting, you say? That so...

I'm also considering on-campus housing. I'll be moving from the west coast with no time look for other housing. So it would be useful, at least for the first semester, until I'm settled and know the city adequately. I'm going to try to contact the h...

I've read on the forums here that the request for you to come in to interview is simply an opportunity for them to get to know you more, and determine whether you are a right candidate for the program. Consider it as though they want to see the car t...

ejf28, what were your stats?

I still have some wiggle room with federal loan options because I didn't use any for my undergrad. But I'll also be hoping to access private loans. Where will you be commuting from? I'm considering what my living options are. I'll be moving from the...

I have not. It feels like a great university to be a part of, though. I'm eager to see how it will turn out. Are you a former UW student?

I just spoke with admissions and they told me that they will be sending out decisions 6-7 weeks after you submitted it if you were able to meet the priority deadline of October 1. They also reminded me about submitting the CSS profile if I wanted to ...

You can have my spot. I've decided I won't go

I've applied to the ABSN. Sent in my paper application a week ago. Now to wait for the essay on the 21st.

I had a similar anxiety about the personal statements. I haven't yet been accepted, so the weight of my advice is only as a fellow applicant. Take a few days to reflect on each of the essays, to make sure that they are sincere and, most importantly, ...

Have you paid your deposit yet?

Katie412, The other schools won't make their decisions until late this year (December for UW and November for NYU), and February of next year (JHU, Duke). This will be after the start time of MGH. Which do you want most?

Congrats. So you've decided to go to MGH?

I have a feeling that you will get in. Don't worry. I studied Politics and French at University.

My checklist does not have the item recommendation letters. But I do know that they received them because they have checked receiving the transcript from my prereqs which was sent in the same package as the recommendation letters. I do feel New York ...

My undergraduate GPA was 3.91 and my prereqs relevant for this program was 4.0.
