I didn't see anyone here on allnurses that posted about SUNY Farmingdales advanced standing transfer Nursing B.S! I applied at the end of July and so far have received a letter that i passed the first round of admissions! YAY! I thought maybe we could all support one another and say our GPAs and Prerequisite grades for anyone who is interested. I have scheduled my TEAS exam for October 2nd. If anyone is interested in knowing, I decided to go with the TEAS at a PSI center and not at farmingdale so that I will be able to send my scores to other schools if I choose. I am really hoping to get in! Nursing is my dream. :)
I already have completed all the pre req courses required by farmingdale. I am currently a senior at a CUNY school studying Health Science.
Overall GPA: 3.65
Pre Req Course Grades:
1. A and P 1 = B+
2. A and P 2 = A
3. Eng. Comp 1 = A
4. Math (Pre Cal) = B+
5. Psych = A+
6. Three Liberal Arts Courses: (will vary among individuals)
A. Eng comp 2 = A-
B. Music = A
C. History = A
Pre Req GPA: 3.7
Quick questions for anyone who got this info from them:
1. Does this years TEAS exam have a calculator? And are we allowed to use it during the math section?
2. Is this a rolling admissions type thing or do they review applications AFTER the deadline?
Thank you everyone! I hope everyone interested gets in!
Yeah some people heard as early as 2 days after the initial teas deadline. My oasis account still says wait listed and I know it won't change until we get accepted or denied. I was wondering if anyone knew what would happen if you possibly withdraw from a course? I have a lot of personal things going on right now and I will probably have to withdraw from a course (not a pre req). If I do get accepted and send my final transcript, do you think that one W from this semester may impact their decision? It's another science course that I do not need for farmingdale but it requires so much time I can't give to it right now.
Hmm. Honestly that is a really good question, I dont really know the answer. I know they villify W on your transcript but its not like you cant have 1... i would maybe call over to the offices or email.
Hey everyone! So I looked at the oasis today and one of my received dates for the documents changed strangely....it originally said that my high school transcript was received on August 16th but for some reason it is saying received on October 31, 2017 today. Did it happen to anyone else? Could they be looking and maybe ranking people who have submitted TEAS and everything already? IM SO CURIOUS!
Does anyone know what they way more heavily, overall GPA,Science GPA or Teas Scores. Also since I've transferred before how would they calculate my overall GPA?
I honestly don't know but I think they weigh TEAS more heavily but they told me they rank by GPA and TEAS. And they calculate your cumulative GPA from all institutions attended. I transferred before as well.
Sorry, but also a few more questions.Does anyone know how many get wait listed and how many are accepted from there? Does anyone know if they base it on a "point system like other colleges? If so, anyone have insight on what that point system looks like? Im attaching my grades and teas so someone can give me an idea my odds.
A&P 1 B+
A&P 2 In progress
Psych B
Eng B+
Stat B+
Overall at current school: 3.82
Overall at previous school: 2. 65... yeah it was rough
I think farmingdale doesn't have a point system. They rank people based on GPA and teas score.
My GPA 3.79
TEAS 76.7 one try
Hopefully I get in!!!
Since you have a really good TEAS score I think you have a good chance of getting in. Plus you have a good current GPA. The only thing that worries me is that it all depends on the amount of people that apply and how good are their stats. Anybody know how many seats they have for the program or the range?
No clue honestly :/ when I asked them if it's still extremely competitive if waitlisted they said yes. I'm going to the open house on november 5th. I'll try to get information from them then. Is anyone else going?
