Downstate RN-BSN Fall 2014

U.S.A. New York

Published

anyone else applying to this program? or know anyone that attended. I'm curious about how difficult it is for acceptance. I'm so nervous!

Hey, I did not see your post until after I put my own out there. Good luck with your admissions process.

I just got an email to resubmit the transcript from my current school. I hope that is a good sign.

Thanks! Do you know anyone that's done the program or how hard it is to get in? I am from out of state so I don't know anyone that's done the program. How are your grades? What other school have you applied to?

My cum is 3.7, (TEAS math 86.7%, science 77.1% - I took this test because I was undecided whether I would go for this or the Accelerated program since I have a bachelors degree), a year of hospital nursing assistant, 3 years of direct care. I graduate in May and will take the NCLEX over the summer. I just need to be able to work, so I chose the RN-BSN route.

I don't know anyone who is in the program, but from what I see, there are very many applicants. I have to check the application deadlines for other programs, but I may look at Columbia and Upstate. Right after I submitted my application to Downstate, I got swamped at my job and the start of my last semester.

Have you applied elsewhere?

Yea, I applied to LIU, Hunter, and NYU. Hunter I didn't get into. They're pretty competitive I heard, but I don't know about downstate I tried finding posts on here but all I found was the accelerated one. What makes you think there's so many? It seems like a lot of people do the online programs so I was hoping it wouldn't be terrible but now I'm not so sure. Especially New York doesn't seem to have that many programs. Upstate I haven't heard of, that's in upstate ny?
