Hey, I am in a very similar position as you. I am finishing a BS in Public Health this December and applied for entrance into Adelphi's nursing program for the Spring of 2013. I need to do a semester of prereq's then go into the nursing classes. I will be graduating this December from SUNY Old Westbury with a GPA around 3.8 and got an 80 overall on the TEAS... scored well more than 10% over the minimum in each section. When I spoke to a transfer advisor, I was told that I have a very good chance of getting in, but now have to wait to hear from them because my application is for the Spring and they have not finished reviewing applications for the Fall. They said I should hear from them by August. At least they make an effort to keep in touch, the advisor emailed me when they received each of my transcripts and has been keeping me up to date on the status of my application... a welcome change from the SUNY school staff. Are you applying for the Fall?
Yes I am applying for Fall 12 ... I agree, so much better then the SUNY staff! However I just checked my application status and they said they are waiting for my grades from this summers course before they can give me an answer. Im so upset! My class doesnt end until August 8th and then they have to resubmit my application for review which can take up to 3 weeks so I dont know how I will be able to attend in the Fall if I do get accepted... someone from their office is calling me back today. UGH what a stressful process!
I just applied to Adelphis nursing program. I had a C in A & P I which is not acceptable for their program so I re-took the class and got a B. I have a 3.36 GPA and passed the TEAS. I didnt do that well but I passed all sections. When I spoke to them at Adelphi they said I have a very good chance of getting in and not to worry. I am just so nervous! Anyone else apply with a similar situation and get into their program?? I really hope I get in!
I actually just got accepted yesterday! =] for the fall 2012. they took a really long time to get back to me as well. I applied in march, with very similar grades as you and I had gotten just one C in microbiology and they just said i would have to retake it there. then they wanted to wait for my spring semester grades in order to give me a decision. After I had sent them in they took exactly one month (yesterday) to give me a decision. Ad that was with me being very persistent with them and calling all of the time to check on my status. I wouldn't worry too much, especially because i have a very similar situation and I got in =] they just take a little time.
I was thinking of going to Adelphi Monday morning with my transcripts and a copy of my TEAS because yesterday they told me they have not received my transcripts or my TEAS scores. I go to Nassau and I ordered my transcripts online to be sent to Adelphi a week ago, Nassau is always taking their time with everything. Do you think it's a good idea or should I just wait? I hate waiting lol, I like to just know if its either yes or no lol.
Congrats jess3306!! I got accepted for fall 12 also, I have a few pre reqs I need to take in september and possibly january but I am still a nursing student and will be taking nursing classes right after those are complete... jmat8302413, I would DEFINITELY stalk them and go there with all of your stuff. Once you give them everything call them the next day to make sure they have the proper information. I just got married and they had my transcripts under my old name and they thought they didnt have my transcripts at all so I would definitely follow up! Good luck!!
