Stony Brook Basic BSN Fall 2012

U.S.A. New York

Published

Hello everyone!

I applied to Stony Brook's Basic (2-year) BSN program 3 weeks a go and thought it may be helpful to start up a forum.

If you are:

currently applying or plan on applying, a former applicant, a current SBU student, I'd love to hear from you!

Has everyone finished their perquisites? Does anyone else have a not so competitive GPA (like me)? Does anyone know who is considered a competitive applicant? Where is everyone else applying?

I look forward to speaking with everyone and hopefully entering the Fall '12 class together!

Let's hope! Best of luck to you, as well :)

Hi everyone! I am new to this forum, i've been snooping 'round reading threads like this and the accelerated stony brook thread and its been so helpful to read people's experience. I am a transfer undergrad in stony brook right now, i spent two years of college studying business that i have no interest in. I wanted to do nursing since begining of college but didn't have the guts to because i was scared of failure. To be honest i am not a 'sciencey person' i am not good with science so i am scared i will not do well in the pre reqs. Seeing other people with A's in all the sciences really scares me. But i want to be a nurse so bad Im willing to take these classes, and hopefully do well! I am starting the pre reqs fall 13 and hopefully can finish all the reqs by spring 13 and apply for fal 13 do you guys think thats possible? (ANP 1&2, chem, bio, intro psyc, soc) the rest of the electives, arts and hum i have done. .. Hope to read into more of everyones experience with Nursing!

i was wondering if the 2year program is as competitive as the accelerated one? do yu think they are more lenient with grades?

thanks for any of response!!

Hi ichews. If you are looking to apply for fall 2013 you have to take the prerequisites this year. You should look into going to an information session also it's very insightful as to what they are looking for and what is expected of you as a student. Also don't be scared of the sciences. Chemistry terrified me at one point but I took it and ended up with an A. You'll do fine. Every nursing program is competitive and as far as being lenient with grades, during the info session the speaker stated although they are important they take many other factors into consideration. You don't have to be a sraight A student to get in.

Yea I agree if you want to start in fall of 13 I would start ASAP and I wouldn't double up on too many sciences bc they are hefty classes...dont be afraid with science it's not that bad but if u take too many at once u could sink..also where are you taking ur prerequisite?

If I had to get it done this year I would take Chem this summer, ap1 and a bio elective in the fall, ap2 in spring and micro in the summer...or ap2 and I bio elective in the spring rather than the elective in the fall..(I found ap2 a little easier)

Thanks for the responses! I am an undergrad of stony brook at the moment, the only thing is they aren't offering the sciences in the manhattan campus in the summer. ( I live in the city) and I have a summer job with autism kids ( do you think that would be a plus applying for nursing?) so I don't wanna live on campus... I'm wondering if I can take the science class in bmcc and maybe have the credits transfer .. But I'm not too sure how it works

Again thank you so much for all your helpful posts!! And sbhopeful too;)

Yea I don't see why you can't take classes at a community college as a non matriculated student..any type of work with people helps I think..it's only a plus to add to your application..also I hear that they favor SB students over transfer but I don't know how true it is

Hi all!

I applied for the Fall 2012 Basic BSN program. Has anyone heard anything from the school yet? This wait is just killing me...

Good luck to everyone that applied~!

No I haven't heard either, I keep checking the mail/email/solar...nothing....we should be hearing within the next 10 days or so I assume

I want to email HSC and ask about the status of decisions but then again I don't want to know lol!
