    Hey Chele - a few questions for you! I, too, applied last yr to both the one yr and the two yr and was not accepted I have reapplied to both programs but naturally am hoping for acceptance to the one yr! I retook two courses that I did not have A's in and achieved A's, I joined a pediatric team in my hometown as a med asst and I joined the CFC program at SBU children's as a volunteer... I am hoping this proves my dedication and willingness to "do whatever it takes" to get in... did you alter your essay and/or grades? What is your undergrad GPA? You must be freaking out like me! Good luck to you, I feel good things coming our way!

    Hi Kace,
    I altered my essay slightly. I got what I believe are better recommendation letters. I didn't retake any classes because my undergrad gpa was a 3.2 and I received an A in all my other prereq's for this program, with the acceptation of a B and a B+. I have been working for SB for the past year as a nursing assistant as well. I've volunteered in the past at a local hospital and am currently volunteering with a dog rescue where I am the foster program director for the past 4 years. This is my third year in a row applying to both programs. I made it onto the alternate list last year, so I'm really hoping that this year is my year! I'm not freaking out as much as I did the past two years. Good luck, I hope we will be in class together.

    CONGRATS!! I got accepted as well!!

    The only sucky part though is that we have only 10 days to respond I applied to Binghamton as well, so I hope Binghamton will let us know soon. But for now, I'll be celebrating!! Hope to hear of more acceptances

    According to the Binghamton BAT thread, most people found out around mid jan to late feb ( do we have to pay a deposit once we accept?

    I accepted it, but didn't see anything about a deposit.
