Did anyone apply into the College of Nursing for Spring 2016?? I haven’t heard from admissions yet about my decision, but NYU is my first choice.
Transferring from a community college into the College of Nursing at NYU.
I’m currently a sophomore with 1 year completed. I currently have 37 credits and will have 47 at the end of this semester. My gpa is a 3.66.
I’m a member of the honor society Phi Theta Kappa.
I work as a pharmacy technician.
High school I didn’t do so hot I ended with a 3.3-3.4/4.0 weighted gpa. I took college prep and honors classes.
I’m not submitting SATs because I have enough college credit not to.
I played varsity lacrosse and won the coaches award for two years.
This past spring while in college I was a head coach for lacrosse 5th and 6th grade girls.
Essays: I was honest and straightforward about the why NYU question. Explained that NYU was the right school for me, I needed the academics to succeed to be a nurse etc. My transfer essay/personal statement I made creative/inspiring talking about a high school experience that made me want to become a pediatric nurse.
Recommendation: I have a good one from my college advisor. My professor that said she would love to write me a recommendation never got back to me when I asked her if I could have it (go figure).
