<p>I was just wondering if you could tell me about their B.S. program. </p>
<p>More especially if you apply directly to their college of nursing only or apply to the college of nursing AND the actual school. Do you know if it is easier to get into their college of nursing than the actual school? </p>
<p>How many freshman applicants do they accept? I think it may be 200, but I'm not sure how accurate that number is. </p>
<p>And if you have anything to say about their program please tell me. Thank you!</p>
<p>You apply directly to the college of nursing. The intention is to graduate as a nurse and be able to sit for the nursing boards. I am a practicing nurse. Graduated from another school. However, I know many nurses who have gone there to do post graduate work to get their MSN and Nurse practictioner certification. They have an excellent reputation. But IMHO and many others, why would you go there for undergrad. It is way expensive and most nurses go to either a state school or less expensive schools for their nursing degrees, such as University of Delaware, Binghampton, Buffalo, Pace U, etc. The only advantage I could see to going there is if you get a good scholarship, want exposure to inner city hospitals or you just want the NYC experience. There are some very good incentives to becoming a nurse, a lot of financial aid available and loan forgiveness programs for RNs. On last quick note, There is such a shortage of nursespredicted for the future, that you probably will not have any problems getting into the college of your choice. Good luck to you.</p>
<p>nyu is an expensive school; however, the nursing school boasts the highest average starting salary out of any undergrad school at nyu (including stern), at over $70,000/year. in addition, 90% of the students pass the NCLEX-RN exam on their first try. however, if you are able to get into nyu, the NCLEX-RN exam shouldn't be difficult for you to pass anyhow which is why it may be a better (and cheaper) alternative to attend a lesser-known school (ones mentioned above). honestly, i would probably go to buffalo if i were you.</p>
<p>but nurses are always in demand. if you end up at nyu, you'll be able to pay back that money if loans are necessary in a short amount of time in comparison with most other students.</p>
<p>and yes, admissions at nyu works by applying directly to the college of your choice (usually just a check on the school name on the general application form). GL</p>
