SUNY Downstate ABSN 2017-2018

Hi there!

Haven't seen any forums yet on the SUNY Downstate ABSN 2017-2018 class. Has anyone applied?? Or heard from them already?

Just got my scores - 100 on Math, 100 on English, 95.7 on Science and 89.4 on Reading.

OMG, those are some of the perfect scores I have ever seen! Congrats!

Thanks!!! Im hoping it helps out my application since I don't have the greatest undergrad GPA.

Specializes in Med-surg, home care.

Excellent grades! I didn't find the teas exam that easy but I did pass reading and math which is what they look at I believe. Overall score was 85, reading 83 and math 93. My science wasn't bad (think 88) but English language was in the 70s so I don't know...last I checked my application was sent to committee

I recently contacted the SUNY admissions and they said ABSN applications are not reviewed until all of the requirements have been met, including all of the prereqs. I planned on applying next fall for summer 2018 start; however, I will not complete all of my prereqs until spring 2018, which means, I will be out of the running :grumpy:

Hi, I am a student in this program. Just wanted to let you know that this wasn't true for our class, and I doubt anything has changed -- keep contacting the admissions office to clarify. I completed a math credit the spring before the program and it wasn't a problem. Good luck

Hi @rn108 ! It seems my last reply never posted. But thank you for coming on to this topic! Maybe you can give us a bit of insight on the program. How do you like it? Are the professors helpful? Also how long did it take for you to get an answer from Downstate after putting in your application? What were your grades like and did you use all professors for the recommendation letters or did you ask an employer as well? Sorry for all these questions and thank you for your time!!

Hey all! Happy to see this thread since I've been a little nervous about applying. I am currently taking the two remaining pre-requistes I need for Downstate, but have already submitted my application.

FutureNurseInfo, the admissions people told me the same thing. They said they will not review my application materials (had everything in by September including TEAS score and letters of recommendation) until they receive the final grade transcript of the two pre-requisites that I need to complete this semester. I noticed that after I paid the application fee, the checklist has not changed and still says "SUNY Processing Fee". Maybe other people are having the same experience who still have pre-requisites left?

Good luck to everyone!

That is the reason I am thinking if I should apply to SUNY next fall for summer 2018 even though I will not have completed my last two pre-reqs by then. I would hate to pay an application fee for them to tell me I am out of the running because I have not complied by their guidelines.

I submitted my application on 9/28 and my application still says "forwarded to admissions committee for review"

has anyone else had any changes? I'm finishing up my physiology class (last prerequisite) in a month or so. Hope that doesn't affect my decision.

Hey keb809. Do you only have the one prerequisite pending and had the change on your account?

The counselors I spoke to said it shouldn't be an issue as long as they get your final transcript with the completed grade.

Yes, this is my last prerequisite I need to take and it will be finished at the end of this semester. I was looking in previous year's threads and it seemed that students that had all their prereqs completed by the time the application was due had a better shot, or at least found out earlier. I saw some had received acceptance letters by mid December. I'm wondering if it is possible to be accepted before my Physiology class is completed, since it is a science which they seem to weight more heavily.
