Congrats to everyone that got accepted! I just thought I would throw in my two cents...

I graduated Binghamton's BAT program last year (which feels like an eternity ago). I was reading though this thread and I have to say I agree 100% with what midwifetobe said about the program. One thing I will add is get to know your classmates, they are the ONLY ppl that will know exactly what you are going through...like midwifetobe said it is a very intense year, I don't think I would've made it through without having my classmates to lean on.

Even though there were some things I hated about the program at the time, Binghamton's reputation held up pretty well when searching for a job and I believe it is one of the reasons I landed interviews and am now happily employed :)

Good luck everyone! And I will try to answer your questions

Waiting... And waiting... :)

Anyone else in the same boat? I'm curious if anyone has also been turned down yet.

I feel like the longer I'm waiting the less likely it is that I'm going to be accepted. Still crossing my fingers, though.

What other programs have others applied to?

CONGRATS ON MAKING IT THRU! where are you employed, may i ask? and how well did they prepare you for the NCLEX or do you feel like it was mostly thru studying on ur own taht helped you pass?

Hi VroomVroom I am still waiting too...

I have not heard back anything yet... and I feel the same way you do.

I have also applied to the NYU ASBN Program starts in Sep. this year. What about you?

I'm also still waiting. I called Admissions a couple of times and both times they said they have never received so many applications before and haven't even gotten through all of them (?). They said I'd hear in 2 weeks when I called on Feb. 15 and when I called back 2 weeks later they said to wait another 2 weeks. I heard of someone who was rejected back in February so I have a feeling those of us who haven't heard back yet are on a wait list? Though when I asked about that they said that since they haven't gotten through all of the applications yet it doesn't mean we haven't been accepted or are on a wait list. Apparently it is possible that a person can be accepted in a week or two, however long it takes for them to get back to us.

I also applied to NYU for the Fall just in case. I'd much rather go to Bing and not have to pay all that money, but I guess we'll see!

Hi Bear0512, same here, I have called them in Feb and they have told me the same thing and also were asking me to wait for another 2 weeks...because they haven't reviewed all of the apps..I feel like so many "2 weeks" have passed by but I still not hearing a thing from them...lol I am even checking my junk mail just in case... still in a pretty panic mode everyday... I really hope I can hear back by the end of March!!

So how did you find out that someone got rejected mail already?? Did they post anything online??

I know, NYU is too much money...but for me it really depends on which school offers me the chance first...and I shall not be picky anymore I guess...Everywhere is competitive..If there is a chance I will go for it..I have called NYU nursing admissions office and they told me that I could possibly hear back between the end of March and the beginning of April since I have submitted the materials wayyyy early like last year in November...lol I missed the deadline for Spring 2013, so that's why..Anyways, lets see what would happen in the next 2 weeks!! :) crossing my fingers...!!! >_

Hi Ruminnie88 and Bear0512! Thanks for the updates. I was also told to be patient as they are still marking students from the wait list. Apparently, they took several students from the list last year, so all is not lost... yet! It's gonna be a nail biter for sure!

I'm definitely going to whichever school accepts me first. I'm betting I'll hear back from NYU even before I end up hearing from Bing that I'm on the waitlist hahaha (that's my assumption, at least?) And yes, someone wrote that they got rejected on a different thread. Hope we'll hear back soon!

I have the same thought here! I think I would hear back from NYU before Bing too... And if that is the case, I am going to accept their offer! Definitely don't wanna loose both...:cat:

I will keep you guys updated here.. Let's hope for the best!!

Hi all (particularly those that haven't yet heard back from Bing) - just a little update on something interesting I saw on the website...

I never noticed this, but apparently the program may have been open to accepting applicants as late as March 8. The reason I think this is because there's an official note on the BAT program website that states "BAT admissions is closed for 2013" with a timestamp at the bottom of the page dated 3/8/13. I know it's rolling admissions, but I'd assume they'd have all their choices lined up already. It looks like they were still holding out up until March 8.

So between that official note and the fact that the deposit deadline is April 1, we should hear back in the NEXT TWO WEEKS! Lol. We are officially at the half mark of March so, we will get a decision either way very soon.

Good luck to everyone, I hope we all get good news!! :)

I spoke to someone at admissions yesterday who said that not all of the spots have been filled yet. She said hopefully I'll hear back in a week
