   80 is correct, confirmed by the director. The program keeps growing, they must be doing something right!!

   lb88, what your professor told you is absolutelly untrue. One thing is the intensity of the program and the hard work you're going to have to put in order to succedd, and another thing is that they purposely want you to fail. It is beyond my understa...

   Does Sound a little crazy o_O lol I don't see why someone would do both unless they are just unsure of what they really want to do at the time they start. If this happens to be you (not saying it is) then I suggest you simply do a little more researc...

   I commute from Queens Village (Springfield blvd & Hillside Ave). It takes me around 50 mins each way without traffic. I have a family, so to me moving to the Stony Brook area was not an option. I would recommend to try to find a place closer to c...

   Stony Brook tends to be top 3 in the area (NYU and Columbia being the other 2). The director of the program just told us last week that last year's class (Paco's class) beat NYU in NCLEX rates so I believe that puts us in top 2 :-p... cost wise, it i...

   Don't give up hope.. Several of my current classmates came from the alternate list and they didn't hear until a week before the program started..

   Emer1234 replied to Joie_de_vivre's topic in New York

   It is both extremely challenging, but it can also be managable. Just know that you're going to be spending a considerable amount of your day (which you could be utilizing to study) on the road and often times in trafic. Is living on campus or getting...

   Emer1234 replied to Joie_de_vivre's topic in New York

   Depends where in the city you live. I commute from Hollis Queens which is about 5 minutes from Nassau County in LI, and it takes me on average about 50 mins door to door. Clinicals are for the most part either at Stony Brook, or in towns that are clo...

    Emer1234 replied to Emer1234's topic in New York

    You cannot defer admission for the following year. Once you decline your acceptance you have to reapply and start all over, and the fact that you got accepted once does not mean you will be accepted in the future. In my humble opinion, don't turn it ...

    Greeneggs, as far as the GPA goes I think it has more to do with your load outside of the program than about the program itself. Some people just cannot stop working, some people have other things to juggle outside of the program and can't commit 100...

    Owade, you seem to be freaking out. Lol the first thing you need to do is try to calm down and take the process one step at a time. I myself did not have any hospital experience other than working as an office assistant at a hospital. DO NOT take any...

    Hey Yankees, I had a similar situation to you graduating from stony brook in 2005 with a not so good GPA (below a 3.0 also). Focus on those last 2 pre reqs, start thinking from now who would write you the best letters and possibly let you read them b...

    Couldn't have said it any better Paco.. As far as housing, I don't live on or near the campus, so I am not much help in that department.... sorry
