Did Anyone Apply for Spring 2018 for SUNY Farmingdale?!?

[donnacox847955]

Hello all!

I didn't see anyone here on allnurses that posted about SUNY Farmingdales advanced standing transfer Nursing B.S! I applied at the end of July and so far have received a letter that i passed the first round of admissions! YAY! I thought maybe we could all support one another and say our GPAs and Prerequisite grades for anyone who is interested. I have scheduled my TEAS exam for October 2nd. If anyone is interested in knowing, I decided to go with the TEAS at a PSI center and not at farmingdale so that I will be able to send my scores to other schools if I choose. I am really hoping to get in! Nursing is my dream. :)

I already have completed all the pre req courses required by farmingdale. I am currently a senior at a CUNY school studying Health Science.

Overall GPA: 3.65

Pre Req Course Grades:

1. A and P 1 = B+

2. A and P 2 = A

3. Eng. Comp 1 = A

4. Math (Pre Cal) = B+

5. Psych = A+

6. Three Liberal Arts Courses: (will vary among individuals)

A. Eng comp 2 = A-

B. Music = A

C. History = A

Pre Req GPA: 3.7

Quick questions for anyone who got this info from them:

1. Does this years TEAS exam have a calculator? And are we allowed to use it during the math section?

2. Is this a rolling admissions type thing or do they review applications AFTER the deadline?

Thank you everyone! I hope everyone interested gets in!

Those are some impressive numbers. Good luck on the teas!!

[donnacox847955]

Those are impressive!!! :) I'm taking my TEAS tomorrow and I'm sooooo nervous! Good luck to you

Hey how was the TEAS

[Lynlynn3896]

Thank you, I am so nervous for the TEAS because of my other classes I haven't been studying as much

I checked my OASIS account today and it said decision made under application status. Then it says waitlisted. Anybody else received something. I feel like it's probably a mistake since it's too early for decisions to be made.

[donnacox847955]

It was okay! English was a little tough. Math was easy. Science was okay and reading was good. Hopefully I score above an 80! But they told me for some reason I have to wait 48 hours so I will report back with my score Wednesday! :) and I completely understand. I just had all my midterms on Thursday so I didn't study as much as I wanted.

[donnacox847955]

Everyone's OASIS at this point says waitlisted because they wait until the deadline for the TEAS. They waitlisted the people whose GPAs are good enough and then after November 15th that will change hopefully

[Jmfn, BSN]

That makes me feel relieved! I have a good GPA, 3.79 but what worries me is the TEAS. I scored a 76.7 on only one try. I'm not planning to take it again and just hope I get accepted lol. Anyone else on the same situation as me?

[donnacox847955]

I saw on other forums that 75-76 TEAS scores were accepted. It really depends on the application pool honestly

I got 77.3% on the teas, but I took it last Feb. According to other comments on here I'm still in the running but we are up against the applicant pool. I hop they take into consideration your personal scores and your individual test as well. During my exam i scored 11 percect above the national mean for that exam, and i was in the 85 percentile overall. All my scores per section were above the national mean per that section. So good luck to you and everyone. The admissions office tild me by Nov 15th there should be official decisions made, meaning if you see waitlist as of now thats a good thing! So stressed about this. Hope we all do well!! Good luck.

Excuse my spelling, I'm on mobile right now -__-

This could be great news, but as I commented I think your last sentiment is the main point: depends on the applicant pool. Wish you luck, where else have you applied if you dont mind me asking?
