Binghamton U Accelerated Nursing Program

[islandbreeze]

Hey guys! Has anyone applied to Binghamton's Acclerated Nursing Program for Fall 2010 (aka BAT program)?? If so, has anyone gotten a decision mailed to them yet??? According to the status website my application was complete since the end of october and i believe it's rolling admissions. I haven't heard anything from them yet so im getting a bit anxious! haha Does anyone know when we should be hearing anything regarding our applications?

Thanks in advance!

Thats about right..The admissions counselor told me the BAT wouldn't be effected by budget cuts and the class size would remain around 75-80 students. If you were planning to apply as a traditional non accelerated student as a junior it would be cut down to only 5-7 admissions though, which is quite low for the program.

Hi - I am applying to the BAT program in the fall and just wondering if those of you who were accepted into the program would share your GPA or grades in pre-reqs. I am nervous about getting in and would like to see where I stand...thanks!

GPA- 3.8 overall

I did well in my pre-req classes :) I still have 2 more pre-reqs to go...If you are really worried about your grades, you should call/email/talk to one of the academic advisors from the school of nursing...they'll help you out

Has anyone submitted their deposit to Binghamton already? I am waiting to do that this week and I was wondering if you got more information regarding on-campus housing and course scheduling. The acceptance letter was quite generic...agree?

[islandbreeze]

Yeah the acceptance letter was generic...I think they'll give us more info on housing and course registration after we send in the deposit...I already sent mine in last friday

Okay cool. Are you from the area? I'm from NYC. Are you looking into campus housing? I plan on living in Hillside, I think we have to apply separately for summer housing...so annoying!

[islandbreeze]

No, I'm from NYC too! Yeah i want to live on campus too, did they already send you the housing information/orientation info?? Ughh why are they making housing sign up so complicated! lol...

Hey all! I realize this post is quite old, but I'm looking into the BAT program now (i'm a junior at Binghamton University). I was wondering if any of you guys can tell me what was your pre-req GPA and regular GPA. Also, do you think it's possible to enter the BAT program right after I graduate from Binghamton, even though I won't be finishing up my pre-reqs until the end of my senior year? Any relevant information would be helpful, since I'm looking into nursing after considering pre-med isn't my passion anymore. Thanks a lot!!

Thanks for the info Lindsay! I'll be waiting for that email and packet! I did my undergrad in Bing!! woot woot! haha...im finishing up my A&P and microbio prereqs this semester...

I'll be keeping my fingers crossed too! Good luck to everyone who's still waiting!

hey islandbreeze, congratulations on getting into the program!! i was wondering if you can answer some of my questions. i'm an undergrad junior at binghamton university now and i plan to finish all my pre-reqs in spring semester of senior year, but can i still apply to the program during the fall semester even though i havent finished my pre-reqs? also, do you think it'd be possible to enter the program as soon as i graduate from bing? and what was your overall and pre-req GPA? any relevant info would be appreciated, thanks!!
