Hi- This is my first post here, I found you guys on google and you all seemed really nice and informative.
I am in a bit of a predicament, this is a long post I'm sorry but I need some expertise advice.
I applied to Stony Brook for the Accelerated Program Starting in 2008, here were my pre-reqs:
Microbio: B-
A&P1: B
A&P2: In progress
Chem 1: C
Other Science: C+
Overall Gpa 2.76 ( I have a 3.6 from another school but they dont add them both together unfortunately )
I had my application in on time, printed out the date sheet, but there was a snafu with the wrong dates on the website, and I didnt get my references in on time, I ultimately got denied.
I want to make sure I get accepted this time around. I just graduated from Stony Brook and here are my current stats:
Microbio: B-
A&P1- B
A&P2 B+
Chem1: C
Other Science: A
(this gives a 3.0 average on the sciences)
I have also raised my GPA to 3.4, not including my 3.6 gpa from my transfer school
So my question is: I know that Stony Brook's program is extremely competitive, what do I need to do to get accepted?! I know that my Chem grade isn't the greatest, but I really do not want to take it again as I really struggled through it the first time at Stony Brook. Do you think that the C will really make or break me and I should retake it? I have to work full time all summer, so I would have to retake it online through a community college - do you think that if I simply had excellent references and personal statements my chem grade would be overlooked? I don't want to put myself into jeopardy because of one grade.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated, I am having an internal struggle, because my heart really isn't in retaking chemistry
hi dfgo. If u dont mind can u tell me ur gpa and comm service and essay strength etc. if u dont mind. i have a 3.49 gpa undergrad and 4.0 in science, i mean its the 20th and i havent heard anything from the school.
So....I FINALLY got my letter in the mail today. It's a denial Trying to stay optimistic. I am keeping my fingers crossed for an offer at Binghamton or Univ of Rochester!!
CONGRATULATIONS to all who got accepted
For those of you who are curious, I graduated with a B.S. in Exercise Science in May '09 from SUNY Buffalo and completed an internship at cardiac rehab unit of NYU Medical.
im sorry you didnt get in. Im still waiting and praying.if u dont mind me asking what was ur undergrad gpa and science gpa? and how was ur other application materials.
Hi everyone. Congrats to all who got in! I found out I am an alternate. Is anyone else and alternate and/or have any idea how the alternate process works and what the chances of getting in off the alternate list are??

When did you finish your first bachelors?
