Binghamton BAT Program 2017-2018

Published

I am applying to Binghamton's BAT program for 2017-2018. I will be graduating from Stony Brook University in May 2017. Is anyone else applying? Is there anyone who is currently in the program who can tell me what Binghamton admissions looks for? Thanks!

I'm applying for the BAT program for 2017-2018. I submitted my application back in August when it opened and have been following through the process since then. I finished my BA in 2007 so I've been taking prerequisite classes for the last two semesters, finishing my last three courses this semester.

As far as what they require, in the past I think they've required an essay and references but this year they are not requiring either of those things, so I assume it's mostly based on grades and resume. I've been wondering if that means that maybe the acceptances will go out sooner than they have in the past... but we'll have to be patient and wait to see :-)

Best wishes for getting into the program!

@srb61 Hi! I'm glad to hear from someone going through the same thing! Have you applied before? I actually applied for the past two years to their traditional program. Unfortunately, those programs only have about 10 seats for transfer students. However, the BAT program has about 86 or something around that. So chances are much higher luckily! Did you have to submit a course progress report?

@emamazing Hi, I haven't applied to BU at all before. I'm only now completing my prerequisites for the program. I had taken some of them as part of my previous BA, but it's been a long time so I retook some of them and filled in the others I was missing.

Yes, I did have to submit a course progress report for my current classes. Since I'm taking one online, I was able to have the professor email in my progress, but I have another online course which just started today (it's an 8 week course) so I don't have any grades yet. I'm planning to send in my grades for that as soon as I can, and I hope that doesn't affect me getting in to the program!

I had never heard before how many people get into the BAT program... 86 is a decent size, although I don't know how many typically apply :-) We'll have to keep each other up to date if we hear anything back, and you can PM me if you like once you have enough posts to do it.

Hi!!

I am applying to the program as well. Current Hunter College student graduating May 2017. I would like to know more about the program as well. Has anyone submitted the optional documents, do you think submitting the optional personal statement and letter of recommendations would help? What are your credentials?

I have a 3.3 GPA, and a GPA of 3.5 in pre-req courses. Finishing my last pre-req this semester.

There's some good information about the program in general on allnurses if you search. If you mean more information about the application process, I don't think there's too much on here now.

I submitted a resume, but that's the only thing I see that I can upload as an optional document. I contacted the school and they told me that they changed their requirements and no longer require a supplemental form or letters of recommendation.

My undergrad GPA was 3.85 and I've got a 4.0 in my prerequisites so far.
