Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hi everyone, </p>

<p>I'm new (just signed up today) and would like to know what my chances are as a transfer applicant to NYU's School of Nursing.</p>

<p>I am a White female from the greater New York area. I have average stats - or below average - 1810 SAT, 89.5/100 weighted GPA in high school. I went to a very demanding private high school in New Jersey and was very involved - 200+ hours of volunteer work at a nearby hospital and soup kitchens, etc. I was also a D1 athlete (crew team) my entire first year - I'm not sure if they will take that into consideration, though.</p>

<p>I will be transferring from Lehigh University to a local college (Dominican College, to be exact) because it's past deadlines and this school offers rolling admissions. My GPA while at Lehigh was terrible - 2.7 first semester, 2.3 second semester. I'm repeating a course to replace one of my failing grades, and taking another course to boost my GPA this summer. If all goes well, I'm hoping to bring my GPA up to a 3.00 by the end of the summer and a 3.4 by the end of the fall semester at Dominican.</p>

<p>So, what are my chances? Is it a complete waste? I will not be looking for financial aid. Are there any other schools you all would suggest based on my stats? Nursing programs only, please.</p>

<p>I also have stellar recommendations… if that matters. I’ve heard NYU is a strict numbers school, meaning if you don’t have the stats, you simply won’t get accepted.</p>

<p>I think once you fix those grades and have your head above the water in the 3.0 GPA rating you should have a chance, but it would still be a reach in my opinion. Your essay(s) would have to be killer as well. Fore example, my essay was focused how I watched my dog get euthanized in my living room at home. I honestly, applied to NYU as joke and statement to say I applied, and I honestly thought I wouldn’t get accepted. Now, the joke is on me and I’m debating whether or not to move out of Los Angeles for 2 years. </p>

<p>If you’re trying to get into nursing then, jump over that 3.0 and write something to them that would ‘wow’ them along with your killer recommendation letter(s).</p>
