Hello! I am currently reaching the end of my first year of nursing school at Seton Hall University in Northern NJ. Unfortunately, the social life is not as flourishing as I thought it'd be, due to the fact that it's mostly a commuter school - and I live four hours away. However, I will be staying for at least fall semester next year, in hopes that a new/better roommate will bring a somewhat better experience. If that doesn't pan out the way I hope, I will be transferring. I am looking into Stony Brook because I am a NYS resident, but would like to be close to NYC. My boyfriend also attends Seton Hall, so as long as we are together that will always be a factor. Upon researching Stony Brook, I think their nursing program is a little out of my reach. I got a 27 on my ACT, 1150 (yikes... I know. that's why I submitted my ACT) on the SAT, and last semester had a 3.12 GPA; however, I'm doing a lot better this semester so my GPA for the year should be a bit higher. Pretty much, what do you think I would need to do to get into the nursing program, besides pray? I also am required to do 10 hours of volunteer work this semester so I am volunteering at a nursing home and at a recreation center for disabled adults. I also volunteered at the VA Hospital at home for two summers in HS.
