Wagner College ABSN FALL 2020

[veeme]

Hey, I didn't see a thread already posted so I decided to create one. Did anyone else hear back and schedule an interview? I have one scheduled for the first week of March and was curious if anyone knew anything about the process.

@eerrosee ughhhh I know I'm still contemplating what I'm going to do I work in the city so it's an easier drive from work to staten island

I visited the campus and it took me like 45 mins to an hour I was pushing like 70 on the highway LOL

my boyfriend wants me to go to NYU if I get accepted because of the location but it's expensive and the class size is huge

but deep down I really like wagner I'd rather have a 1:1 connection with my professor because the teacher to student ratio is smaller and more accommodating and I believe they have a higher NCLEX passing rate then NYU don't quote me on that LOL

I got accepted to NYU also, and I am going to turn it down. I just want to see what financial aid they will give me first LOL. But I had the same thinking process as you, NYU is too large and I want to make that connection with the professors. I also got accepted to Stony Brook which is the cheapest option by far so I am really not sure what to do. I want to see how Wagner handles the TEAS (since I haven't taken it yet), but if I go to Wagner I will end school earlier in comparison to Stony Brook.

If I go to Wagner I will be looking for an apartment because I need my own space during this, and I would not be able to handle living with my boyfriends family LOL, so that would be an extra expense.

Thanks @Nora M. I really want to reach out to her but I feel like at this point I’m just being annoying. Especially since I STILL didn’t hear back yet. I reached out a few weeks back and didn’t hear a word. Doesn’t look good for me. Such a bummer! ?

oh no! try to stay positive I think they're still getting back to people when was your interview?

[cadrip]

my drive (without traffic) should be about 30 minutes to staten island. hoping that we get out in off hours so it's not too terrible!

has anyone else been accepted to mount saint vincent in long island city and considering it?

CONGRATS everyone!

I was accepted here and college of mount saint vincent but wagner is my first choice. waiting to hear about my financial aid package before I formally accept

the worst part is going to be the commute for me! paying the bridge toll will definitely add on to the tuition

looking forward to meeting everyone!

@cadrip CONGRATS to you too!! Where will you be commuting from?

@eerrosee Wagner does have a high NCLEX rate- 97%. And it is a great program

@eerroseeCONGRATS !! If I was in your position I would take stony brook because it's cheaper

I may consider an apartment for staten Island I'm not sure yet

Yes amazing it is a great program I've heard nothing but great things I've met nurses who've graduated from the program

I interviewed on March 2nd. ?

I'm commuting from South BK so I am going to attempt doing the ferry...its a bus to a train (or 2 trains) and then the ferry and I know Wagner has an active shuttle to and from the ferry. I debated getting an apartment/living on campus but honestly don't want to tack on an extra 10-20k for that plus who knows if they will even let dorming? Anyone else coming from south brooklyn?

Haha me too. The bus ride to the interview from my part of Brooklyn was an experience LOL but this is something I'll just have to get use to.

@emvee Did you take the bus in Bay Ridge? Ughh that ride is brutal
