^ you may have better luck with an answer to that question on the accepted students fb group? :). Scroll back for the link

I gave up my spot a few weeks ago. Someone must have taken my spot by now

Congrats and welcome!

I took art history, but didn't take it to fulfill a requirement of the program. I just had taken it already for undergrad

I don't think they do until after all of the acceptances have been given out even after all the interviews are done. But it's a guessing game

My solar application never changed from the time I applied up until the time I was accepted unless they received a transcript or letter of recommendation I would add in later. So I wouldn't judge too much based on that. As far as the math goes, I hadn't looked at math or studied any sort of math since I took the GRE 2 years back and I still found it to be pretty easy. I just quickly googled fraction and decimal rules in terms of added, multiplying, etc. For the interview questions I thought it was very straight forward compared to other interviews I had. Idk if I would be at liberty to give you specific questions and how I answered them, but I feel like they are questions you can quickly adapt to on the fly. For example, if you can speak to why you like their program most or your experiences or to talk about the most challenging thing you've had to deal with in your life, you shouldn't have too much of a problem!

For the accelerated program this year, they sent out interviews in 2 waves and the rest i think did not receive interviews. half the people who got interviews were emailed the first day and the second half were emailed a week later

There wasn't any unit conversions nor anything like mg to g, although all you would have to do is multiply/divide by 1000 depending on the direction you are going . You just need SAT level math knowledge. Idk why people say the math test is so difficult. I thought stony brook's calc and statistics courses were a million times harder haha. Also on a side note, I was emailed by the program asking if I wanted to withdraw my application from the basic program since I accepted a spot in the accelerated. So that's a good sign you'll all hear soon!

Can't remember what I got on my SAT... I took that in 2010 Loll

I majored in biology - graduated in 2015!

I'm a sbu alum but will be attending the summer 2018 accelerated BSN program

Not sure :/

What phone number did anyone dial to talk to the program about accepting their offer? Just want to make sure I'm going to get called back lol

Hi haha, I'm sure you would've been a good admin too! Thank you and congrats too!

Try searching on Facebook for stony brook university accelerated BSN Class of 2019. I just tried making a group. Log into Facebook | Facebook try clicking this link ^

A group of us got our acceptances to the accelerated program in the other chat group including me to give everyone else some perspective. They should start working on all of your program's applications now!

Should be summer 2018, fall 2018, spring 2019, not sure if winter counts at all?

Someone made a group way in advance out of excitement a couple months back haha. It's under "stony brook accelerated BSN class of 2019". The only problem with that is if the person wasn't accepted, they are the admin, and only they can approve us to join. Should I make one anyway, or see if we can join that one first?

I went to home on solar, then under the student admission tab I clicked "admission decision response"

I dont know about official data, but i've spoken to a few alumni from the program and they seemed to get a job within a few months of passing the NCLEX

I was able to hit accept and then i was forwarded to a page that said we look forward to seeing you, and then it disappeared, but i assume it went through! haha

Check your emails!!! Just received an acceptance letter!!!

Interesting, I hadn't thought of it that way. I applied to both from the start, but if that were true I feel wouldn't have gotten an interview for the accelerated program then if they preferred me in the basic program

I've done a lot of mock interviewing before hand as well and did a lot of various types of interviews for other programs, and I found the group interview to not be as stressful. This year they gave us the test paper plus a direction sheet that had an empty backside we could do our work on. We didn't have to show work on the test itself

No problem! Also to get more specific since the test is still a little fresh in my mind, make sure you know how to convert decimals to percents and Vice verse and how to do proportions. Also fractions and percents were big on the test too. They also had adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing all of those too so be comfortable with that. I don't know how I did but thought I did well on the math!
