Stony Brook Basic BSN Fall 2012

[kitkats4breakfs]

Hello everyone!

I applied to Stony Brook's Basic (2-year) BSN program 3 weeks a go and thought it may be helpful to start up a forum.

If you are:

currently applying or plan on applying, a former applicant, a current SBU student, I'd love to hear from you!

Has everyone finished their perquisites? Does anyone else have a not so competitive GPA (like me)? Does anyone know who is considered a competitive applicant? Where is everyone else applying?

I look forward to speaking with everyone and hopefully entering the Fall '12 class together!

Yea me too..I'm actually getting nervous because a lot of ppl get denied

[Mindylane]

Well, usually that's how it goes... more people get rejected than get accepted. I don't anticipate getting in, and just applied to Nassau (right before the application deadline) and then realized that I lose ten points just for not being a Nassau resident (I moved to Suffolk 2 months ago, what a shame). I guess we'll see what happens.

How come you didn't apply to Suffolk? I did just in case..

[BioD1234]

I don't anticipate getting in either I don't want to make myself sock if I get a rejection letter lol

I applied to the Grant Evening program at Suffolk, which is the closest campus to where I live now; unfortunately, they're accepting applications until June for the Spring start session, and I'd just hate to have to wait even longer (but I'm willing to, if necessary). It would also be convenient to go to NCC's evening program, because I'd likely just go straight from where I work, which is ~15 minutes from NCC.

Yea I really don't want to go for an AS but it's not the worste thing yanno..also do you know how it works? Do you get a letter in the mail or an email.. Or both?

[BioD1234]

Oh and don't count on finding out about suffk for a while, I apples for the ammermam fall program and called them the other day and they told me I won't find out until may!

[BioD1234]

Sorry all the type owes this stupid iPhone has a mind of its own!

It does feel a little bit backwards to go from having a Bachelors to an Associates, but at least there are bridging programs available afterwards. I also have some healthcare experience, so I'm hoping that the agencies I've worked for in the past would be willing to help me out once (if) I finish the nursing degree. I don't think they send a piece of paper; when I was rejected from the one-year program, I got an email and that was it. Nassau has seemed really responsive; when I sent my transcripts, they actually called me to clarify something, and the lady to whom I spoke was very friendly.

Well good luck to you! Maybe we will see each other in September Lol
