Binghamton Applicants- BAT Fall 2013

Published

Hi all,

I just submitted my application to Binghamton for the BAT program for next fall. Didn't see a discussion board yet so figured I would start one. Any other applicants out there?

Does anyone know how big the nursing class is?

Hm sort of sounds like Long Island! It was 59 degrees yesterday and today its grey and tomorrow it's supposed to snowstorm 4 inches. Winter here is totally erratic too....I remember a few weeks ago it was SO cold and windy I could hardly breathe outside but then like I said it was in the high 50s for a week. Weird!

@spiritedkid .. search fran on the binghamton website.. i'm pretty sure there is only one in the nursing department. If you e-mail her, she should get back to you in a day or so with the decision!

@ peachypeach.. i heard there's about 90 for the BAT program!

Ohh nice number! I like small. NYU had a couple hundred in the Accelerated nursing class!

Yeah it's pretty competitive, the cheapest as far as new york programs go and a very highly rated program. I'm so excited :)

@lwalter2: oh hey, i spent this past summer taking pre-reqs too! i was taking anatomy & physio 1. and yeah i emailed fran last week asking when the decision would be made and she said hopefully by the end of the week, but obviously i havent heard back. i emailed her a lot during the application process so i feel like i may be annoying her hahah

yeahs, about 90 or so sounds about right

No way! I did too! I took A&P I and II, psych 111 and developmental! You were probably in my class! haha

Wow I can't believe I got in. I'm so happy! I was this close to starting at NYU but thanking God I got that email last week. I feel so much better about Binghamton. I feel like NYU just wants money

I definitely think Binghamton is the better option as far as money goes.. I'm not sure how the NYU program is, but Bing's nursing program is one of the top rated in the country!

For those who have been accepted, have you finished all your prereqs? I have a feeling I haven't heard back yet because I still have to take Chem II, A&P II, and microbiology this spring. I tried sending an email on Friday but I haven't heard back yet. Maybe they're just swamped?

I am taking my second chem and microbiology in the spring but have been accepted.

For those in the program or who went to Binghamton for undergrad- where do you think the best areas for housing are? I am beginning to look on Craigslist just out of curiosity but don't know anything about Binghamton.

Also- will anyone else be looking for an apartment to share?

There are definitely some areas that are sketchier than others. It's hard to say where the best place to live is .. I lived on Leroy street on the corner of Murray street and loved the area. Basically anywhere along Murray, Leroy, Chestnut, Walnut, etc. is a great location. The closer you are to Riverside the better. The closer you get to main street, the sketchier it is. Riverside, Leroy and Main street are great locations for buses though. I hope that helps. Google maps might be able to help with the streets! If you have any questions about a specific area, I'd be happy to help :)
