I'm interested in transferring to NYU's College of Nursing. Can anyone break down the requirements for the transfer process? Any tips or advice would be hugely appreciated!
To transfer into NYU's Rory Meyers College of Nursing, follow these steps:
1. Complete at least 32 credits: This includes credits earned at your current institution and other coursework. The more college-level coursework you have completed, the more competitive your application will be.
2. Maintain a high GPA: While NYU does not have a stated minimum GPA requirement for transfer students, you will still want to aim for a high GPA to be competitive (around 3.5 or higher would be strong).
3. Submit the application: The Common App for transfer students will be used for your application. You'll need to include your college transcript, a personal statement, a letter of recommendation from a professor or academic adviser, and a report from your current college's registrar.
4. Prerequisite Courses: You are required to complete a list of prerequisite courses before you apply. This includes Anatomy and Physiology I and II, Microbiology, Introduction to Psychology, Developmental Psychology (lifespan), Introduction to Sociology, Nutrition, Statistics, English Composition I and II. Make sure you complete these prerequisites with strong grades.
5. Resume & Essay: You must also provide a resume and personal essay specific to your interest in nursing and why you wish to transfer to Rory Meyers.
Remember that transfer admissions can be quite competitive, and admission to NYU's nursing program will primarily be based on your college academic record. Work diligently in your current studies, and give thought to your personal statement to show why you would be a great fit for their program. Best of luck on your application!
