    PacoUSA replied to PacoUSA's topic in Florida Nursing

    Stony Brook BSN - Summer/Fall 2011 Applicants

    PacoUSA replied to PacoUSA's topic in New York Nursing

    Take what they say with a grain of salt .. they could just be feeding you a line just to keep you appeased with a vague enough answer without committing to something definite. That's how bureaucracy...

    CNR applicants??

    PacoUSA replied to trouble66's topic in New York Nursing

    I'm personally not applying to CNR (as I am already going to attend another ABSN program), but I have to be honest with you: you have way too many B's in your prereqs to be competitive. I am not sure...

    I don't know how to deliver a baby, but I guess I will learn that within the next year, won't I? At least I'll be ready if I ever encounter a mannequin going into

    Waitlisted? Rejected? NEVER Give Up!

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

    Honestly, I don't think it matters where you go to undergrad or do your prereqs as long as you excel in your coursework, have top-notch recommendations and a great essay. The SUNY universities don't...

    Stony Brook BSN - Summer/Fall 2011 Applicants

    PacoUSA replied to PacoUSA's topic in New York Nursing

    I'd say about a week, but keep in mind that my letter had to travel across several states so it might have taken longer than for someone with a New York address. Hard to say last year, considering...

    PacoUSA replied to PacoUSA's topic in New York Nursing

    I think I am more excited than all of you to see the SOLAR frenzy when those decisions come out for the 2-year . I can't believe almost 2 months have gone by since I got my decision. [sending good...

    If they are preparing the "packages", that sure means that mailings are imminent. However, I would think you guys would find out through SOLAR first as we ABSNs did. Keep checking those SOLAR...

    PacoUSA replied to ThinkNurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    PacoUSA replied to PacoUSA's topic in New York Nursing

    Where you been? I got a letter, that's how I found out I was waitlisted last year. My SOLAR did not change at all. I kept seeing everyone saying their SOLAR changed but mine wasn't, and never did....

    In a nutshell, these factors in my opinion will give you the best shot possible in the admission process (meaning after doing all of these, there is nothing more you can do) ... and it is pretty much...

    PacoUSA replied to PacoUSA's topic in New York Nursing

    Believe me, you will know when SOLAR "changes" for you - it's quite noticeable. When you log in now, you probably just see one or two boxes on your screen under "Solar System", one of them being...

    Thanks! It was a REALLY tough decision for me. Paying in-resident tuition was a very compelling reason to stay but in the end I know I was wanting to go back home anyway. This was in fact my window...
