We were able to register up until May 6th, but I think registration will open up again on June 1st, the same day as orientation.

Hey Andriana, sounds like a good idea, it would be nice to meet all since we will be spending a lot of time together. The schedule is great, I chose Thursday off as well. I'm from Califronia and have a degree in biology. I'll email you too...

Yeah the fall seems less intense so depending how the summer session goes. Good to know some people did it, but I'm sure it's difficult.

Hi Wingchick, yeah I'm wondering if I'll be able to work a little bit. I'm thinking of testing the waters the first semester and seeing if it may be possible to work. How about you? Have you heard of anyone doing it?

Hi Anunic, either way to connect is great, through FB or here, I'm glad to connect with people who will be going to Downstate. I'm Rosa :). By the way, registration opened, you should have received information by mail and email, if your health forms have been submitted and they cleared you should be able to register. Hope you get to register soon. GL! and hope we get to talk more.

Is your program only in NY for 5 months? I'll be at Downstate for over a year. I'm still looking four housing, thanks for your tips! I'm going for an accelerated undergrad BSN, so no agency for supplemental shifts. Best of luck to you!

Hi, good feedback. To post a new thread go to the region and discussion you'd like it to go under, so New York then NY nursing programs discussion. You'll see all the threads listed and then above you'll see "new thread" in a blue icon, click on that and you will be able to start a new thread. That's a great idea!

Hi I'll be attended Downstate June 2011. Congrats to your acceptances!! Did you decide on downstate already or still undecided?

I haven't moved yet, I'll be moving in May. Where are you moving from? Any housing websites that you recommend? I'm new to the moving out-of-state thing. Thanks & good luck to you.

I'm moving from California to New York and know nothing about New York. I'm looking for housing and wondering where can I look for reliable and affordable housing, I'll be going to SUNY Downstate in Brooklyn. Thanks! Any feedback would be helpful!

Hi asr212. I received my letter via first class mail. For gpas it's fuzzy because I don't know exactly how they calculate them, undergrad, prereqs, or overall combined?? So I did not bother calculating but I'm estimating my undergrad ~3.2, unextraordinary. For my prerequisites I had all As & two Bs and I didn't calculate either. My teas scores were: Reading 93%, Math 96.7%, Science 87.5%, and English 66.7% , with an individual of 87.3%. I don't know if this helps or confuses things more, and who knows how they decide. So what are your credentials like? I don't know if you're applying to more schools or only SUNY but just keep positive thoughts and that acceptance letter will arrive!

I got accepted to SUNY! and I was checking my status daily and my checklist did not change prior to receiving my letter. Best of luck asr212!

Where can I take the HESI A2 exam? I'm having a hard time locating a center or finding information on where to purchase, register, etc. I'm a pre-nursing student not in nursing school at a community college & just can't find info. Thanks for any tips!!
