Thanks. I only applied to SUNY Brockport, took a big gamble. I'm entering this field with no experience at all. Yes, I believe both the references and personal statement play a big role in this, but that's what I think because the grade I applied with wasn't up there. Since the reference forms was like a checklist, I think they call the referents. The information on the personal statement is in the application, its states, "Attach a personal statement describing your educational andcareer goals, and your reasons for choosing nursing as a career." Start writing a month or two before, I'm a big time procrastinator, so I started my draft two weeks before the due date.

Hi Rossella, I don't think you will have a problem applying with a 3.2 as long as you have good references and a well written personal statement because I also applied with a 3.2 (my final GPA from previous college) and just recently got my acceptance letter!! I don't have any kind of volunteer work experience!! I was so scared that I would get rejected, but what a relief that is now huh?! After I got my letter, I read somewhere that ~300 students applied this semester!! GAHH!!! Good luck!

Hi, I'm happy to say that I got accepted into SUNY Brockport's nursing program. On the letter it states that a mandatory Pre-Orientation meeting will be taking place. This meeting will tell upcoming nursing students what is required/to do, such as, registration, health and immunization records, CPR information, equipment, and uniform measurements. I have no idea what to wear, so I'm wondering if this will be appropriate for the occasion: dress shirt (maybe with a sweater vest on top?), skinny jeans, and casual walking shoes? Everything except for the vest/dress shirt is what I usually wear to class everyday. Or maybe business casual? I need your opinions since I'm still on spring break, so I'll know if I should bring my business casual clothing back with me or not. Thanks in advance.
