SUNY Buffalo ABS program

I myself have been a lurker for quite some time. I've been watching for a SUNY Buffalo ABS thread but its been less than fruitful. Therefore, here I am! I'm out of hiding and I'll attempt to answer some of your questions.

I applied well before the Nov. 1st deadline. I drove myself insane during the application process by including eight schools. I can't say any particular SUNY campus is my top priority. (I applied to SBU and BING as well). Its a great education and I won't be in debt for the rest of the foreseeable future.

On to the stats:

I graduated this past May from Stony Brook:
B.S. Health Science GPA 3.13 Science GPA 3.43

Naturally, I realize i'm not nearly as qualified as other applicants. Moreover, several courses are IP or to be taken during the winter and spring (currently taking Micro, Nuitrition and Socieology). What remains is A&PII, Pathophys, pharamacology... I'm thinking theres more

Anyway, I got an provisional acceptance to drexel as a fallback option. Its a tremendous load of my shoulders knowning I didn't completely fail at the process.

I wish you, and all other SUNY Buffalo ABS hopefuls, the best of luck.

Yeah... You definitely have absolutely nothing to worry about. You have a great GPA regardless of whatever blunders you may have encounters years ago. My volunteer experience was only a few months in the department or orthopedics at SBU. I figured I should just apply and let them decided. No use in not trying and failing myself.
Like I said you will be fine

I too have been looking into this. I have applied for the ABS program. My overall GPA is a 3.3 (due to a few years of a very bad start when I was younger) and my pre-req GPA is a 3.8. I have several years of experience working as an intern for Medical Assisting and being hired-on to some of the jobs, about 7 different placements over 3 years . I have all the necessary pre-reqs done since last semester and will be graduating next month with my Early Childhood degree. I have an overall GPA at UB of a 3.7. I am nervous about getting in but I know someone with lower GPA scores than this that got into the program.

Hi! I am happy to see this thread, since I recently applied to UB for the ABS program and am soo nervous to hear back! I also applied to two other schools, but UB is definitely my top choice. I have my B.A. in psychology (gpa 3.56) and also almost have a Master's degree in clinical psych (gpa 3.5 but need to finish thesis to get degree). I worked two years in the mental health field in case management and did psychotherapy as an intern, and now began working in July as a CNA at a nursing home while I finish my prerequisites. The "waiting" process is almost harder than the actual application process! Good luck to everyone, hopefully soon we will be able to post about our acceptance into programs!
