Hey all! Just wanted to lend my support to anyone else who is applying to SB next summer! It's a grueling process :-)):yeah:

Hello! Quick question for those of you that applied to both the ABSN and the basic bacc, do you have to submit your transcripts two times? I'm not sure if I need a set of transcripts for each program. Thanks =)

Good luck, everyone! I'm so nervous about getting in, but I do feel as if I probably won't, based on the caliber of the applicants. I've gotten B+s in all of my pre-reqs and only had a 3.5 GPA, so I just don't think that'll cut it. My personal statement & recommendations (as far as I know) are outstanding, I think, but I just don't think my grades will cut it, which is a shame. I guess maybe the only good thing is that I have some experience in healthcare (I work for a non-profit agency with developmentally disabled adults)... The waiting beginssssssss

Mindy, dont doubt yourself. Besides, grades are not the only part that they take into consideration. Besides, 3.5 is good!!!

Hello Peeps:

My name is Kim and I applied to the ABSN as well. I was reading the threads and I was only able to get LORs from military folks as multiple times I tried to get my AP profs to do letters and they would never contact me back. And with constant travel I had to make a command decision as to what I was going to do.

I did well as far as GPA (3.8) but nothing is a guarantee in these types of situations...its the total package and how they perceive you on paper. Just hope it works out cuz I am tied to the area with owning a house, having a special needs child and really cannot being hoping all over the place--so for me - my options are limited as to where I can go and what I can afford.

SO yeah, to say the wait has begun--let my gray hair volume increase exponentially and the GI issues start-hallelujah!

They say that you have to submit your transcripts again, but I didn't last year for the basic 2 year and they just moved them over from the ABSN. But, I guess better safe than sorry.

Are you guys planning on living on campus?

I live not far from Stony Brook, so I will not be living on campus.

Hehe. We're currently looking to move out there, actually. I loved the area when I went to school there, and Suffolk really beats Nassau in so many ways :p

Why thank you Joy of Life--

worst case scenario I can at least be a source of comic relief down the line on this thing...

Hey everyone. I've been silently watching everyone write on here and have yet to write anything until now. I applied to the accelerated program and am anxiously waiting to hear something back. I really want to go to Stony Brook, but I'm trying to figure out some other back up plans in case I don't get in.

Anyone applying to any similar programs? I'm looking into Hunter, SUNY Downstate and Pace, but am not thrilled about the thought of applying to any of them.

I went to the information session a couple of weeks ago and they said last year they had 1100 applicants for both programs. Anyone have any idea how they set any kind of criteria for choosing who gets in?
