    Riles241 replied to FaithD2009's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm also waiting to hear from NYU for Fall '09. I originally applied for Spring '09 but after sending everything in, realized my past Chemistry class was only 3 credits. They offered to hold my...

  4. Anyone hear from SUNY Downstate for Summer '09 yet?

    Riles241 replied to Riles241's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Both my cousin and a friend of mine's boyfriend graduated from the Columbia nursing program two years ago. Both said that in hindsight if they had to do it again they would've gone somewhere else...

  5. Anyone hear from SUNY Downstate for Summer '09 yet?

    Riles241 replied to Riles241's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  6. Anyone hear from SUNY Downstate for Summer '09 yet?

    Riles241 replied to Riles241's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This Friday I have to register for a chemistry class needed for the other school I was accepted to for the fall. I had assumed I would've heard back from SUNY now. Do you think I should just call them...

  7. Anyone hear from SUNY Downstate for Summer '09 yet?

    Riles241 replied to Riles241's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    They definitely seem like a school that you need to literally call them after each time you submit something. They were claiming they didn't get my NET scores back in September. I had to call ERI and...

  8. Anyone hear from SUNY Downstate for Summer '09 yet?

    Riles241 replied to Riles241's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's ridiculous! I rushed to have everything in extra early because at their info session they kept stressing how preferable it is to get things in much earlier - apparently so they can sit on it...

  9. Anyone hear from SUNY Downstate for Summer '09 yet?

    Riles241 replied to Riles241's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Did you just get that letter recently? It would've been nice if they could've alerted you to that sooner so you could've possibly re-taken it. Do you mind me asking what you got on the math

  11. NYU or SUNY Downstate '09 Hopefuls??

    Riles241 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I applied to both of these programs pretty early and was wondering if anyone else was awaiting a response? I'm pretty sure you're supposed to start hearing from NYU after November 15th but I'm not...

  12. Spring 09 Hopefuls

    Riles241 replied to TeeRN2Be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nice, where did you get accepted? I'm in a similar situation. I was hoping for spring and was accepted for spring, but am choosing to defer until Fall so i can take the classes i need to take at a...

  13. NYU or SUNY Downstate '09 Hopefuls??

    Riles241 replied to Riles241's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes your first copy is sent to SUNY, if you signed up through the ERI thing and chose them. If you want it sent to other schools as well - THEN u have to pay the $40

    Riles241 replied to Riles241's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I sent my application at the beginning of September and haven't heard anything. I e-mailed them a few weeks ago and they said they were currently reviewing applications. They said I would hear from...

  16. NYU or SUNY Downstate '09 Hopefuls??

    Riles241 replied to Riles241's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think they only count verbal and math from what i remember. I figured you just average those percentages together from those two sections? Im not exactly sure how they calculate

  17. NYU or SUNY Downstate '09 Hopefuls??

    Riles241 replied to Riles241's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At their info session they said you needed to have a composite score of 65 on the NET, at least. Do you mean ur sending in your SUNY application for Summer '09 start? Their accelerated BSN only starts...

  19. Spring 09 Hopefuls

    Riles241 replied to TeeRN2Be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    did you apply for aid? I'm assuming it comes separately (a financial aid package) from ur acceptance letter. I did go to their open house this past weekend and it honestly looks like a great program,...

  20. Spring 09 Hopefuls

    Riles241 replied to TeeRN2Be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm assuming it'll be the BSN because I already have a degree, but I know that I'm missing the Chem 2 as well, and that's what I'm worried about. I wanted to start clinicals this Spring and not have...

    Riles241 replied to TeeRN2Be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Did you receive an official acceptance letter from LIU? They told me I was accepted via e-mail but am still waiting for my letter. Does it just tell you your accepted or does it get more specific?...

  25. About GPA's...

    Riles241 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm slightly confused about how GPA's are calculated. I'm applying to accelerated BSN programs and therefore already have a degree. Now, I was a Business/Comm student, so my cumalative GPA from...
