Stony Brook Basic BSN class of 2020

Nursing Application has now opened for the Basic BSN fall 2018 program. I will be submitting my application Sept 1. I noticed there was no forum so I decided to start one... Good Luck to everyone that is applying. It is a bit early but it doesn't hurt to communicate with everyone. Has everyone finished all their pre-reqs?

The essay sample was the easiest part for me.. Don't be nervous about it! it is just a simple topic

I feel much better now that I have an idea on what to expect for the essay sample . Thanks for the heads up!

Hi are there any interviewers out there that want to share their experiences? so far only one came forward lol

[Megtodd429]

These are going to be the longest weeks of my life waiting to hear back hahaha

[md322]

well, let the waiting game begin!!!!!!!! is it mid April the begin sending out letters?

[md322]

how was your interview?

[Megtodd429]

My interview was good.. my entire group did really good. How was yours? and I heard end of march beginning of april

[md322]

It went well.

Do you happen to know how much the math and essay count towards their overall decision? Is it a ppoints system they use?

[Megtodd429]

Im pretty sure it is a point system but im not sure how much they are all worth

[md322]

I heard they lean more towards your GPA and letters of rec.

[jac97]

I heard it was a point system and that after the interview and math/writing test they look at your application as a whole. I've been told that when looking at GPA that they focus more on your science GPA.

[md322]

yeah, I heard that as well, however, I also read differently on this site. It seems some people have low GPA's and ace the interview and exams and get in, yet heard the oppsoite as well. I guess it's all upto what they're looking for this time around. Good luck to everyone who interviewed.
