Is anyone attending Suffolk Community College

U.S.A. New York

Published

I am doing my pre-reqs now and hope to get into the Fall 08 program. Any feedback whether positive or negative would be appreciated!

TIA

Hi Kamryn,

I just wanted to let you know that I received my letter from Suffolk and I am on the waiting list for the Grant campus. I guess I can't be fully disappointed, at least I was not denied! They said this semester was one of the most competitive semesters. I just hope now that I will possibly hear some good news being that I have a 50/50 chance so we'll see. How long did it take until you heard your response from the waiting list? Did they say how many seats opened up and how were you notified?

Hope to hear from you soon!

congratulations on getting on the waiting list, that is really good news.

as far as all your questions, there really is no way to know about those,,, the pool of applicant varies every year and they are very tight lipped about what your chances are.

keep praying and don't give up.

Thanks Kamrym I appreciate it. I will definitely do that, I am thankful to at least have a possible chance and if I do not get in I will just reapply for spring/next fall. Yes I've already tried asking those questions to the admissions and they won't budge!

I know the applicant pool is different every year, but do you know how the competition was to get in when you applied and what the gpa cutoff was because if you got in then I might possibly have a chance. This year at grant they said all the 60 applicants ALL had A's. I've heard of this in the past but didn't believe it..woww...........Ammerman they were a little more selective with.

**when did you hear a respond that you got in from the waitlist? was it more closer to the semester starting or right after the people who didn't pay there deposits got dropped?....I just need a little bit of light shed! lol

AND, did they call you to let you know you got in, or sent your response through mail??

hello Russl i feel your pain, I was there last year!!!. as far as the gpa cut off I did not have all A's in my pre-reqs more like B+'s my situation was different since I had a bachelor from stony brook and a solid science background,,I had chem I, and II, physics I, II, bio I and II , calculus I and II statics, which are the core of the science, there is more i just don't remember right now, but to make a long story short,, I got in not b/c of the pre-req only but over all application. if you read on their web site they even state that ppl with a prev degree are measured differently. as far as hearing from them, their later was dated june 4th,,I was just annoyed b/c their dead line was like dec 31st and that to me was a long wait. not sure of their reason for that was handled. so the only reason I was wait listed was b/c i did not have all the A's in the 4 pre-reqs. hope this helps. again keep your fingers crossed. kamryn

Russl, What was your GPA when you applied? and which campus did you apply to?

Kamryn, Oh I didn't know you had all of those sciences done jesuss. Now I probably definitely don't have a chance at Suffolk for this year at least. Honestly I know community colleges are extremely hard to get into so I'm not holding myself to it, I'm going to apply to many other schools and just keep applying and in the meantime I'm going to go for my Bachelors in science and keep going! I'll be a much stronger candidate by then. I want to keep moving up such as looking into Physicians Assistant and Physical Therapy but of course Nursing is my main focus.

Thank you and I will keep you focused! ** I am definitely going to look into StonyBrook!

LPN1987,

MY gpa is a 3.6-3.7 and I applied to Brentwood

OH MY GODD, I got accepted into the Nursing program!!!!!!!! :))) ahhhh

Specializes in none.

CONGRATS! :yeah:

Thank you! :D

Kamryn,

I got accepted into the program!!!

Kamryn,

I got accepted into the program!!!

Congrats!

I'm somewhat of a lurker on this site but figured I'd say hi since I'll also be attending Suffolk (day program, Grant campus). Hi! :) Orientation is June 23rd, correct?

Hi Mumsy,

Thankyou and congrats to you also:yeah:. No I actually got accepted to (Ammerman Day), but my friend got accepted to Brentwood and yes I know brentwood's orientation is the 23rd. I already had my orientation, for Ammerman it was the 9th so it just passed. It is nice to know someone else who got the good news! And like I always say, the more the merrier so we can always converse on this mess. board about what clinicals we go to and what not and ask each other questions. I'm pretty sure both Ammerman and Brentwood do the same lecture work and have the same books and stuff which is nice so if you know someone at the other campus you can still study with them, which is probably what my friend and I will do.
