   Paco's got it. :) My rent is $625 a month which includes everything (all utilities). It's a 3 person house in a nice neighborhood, and it's only about 10-15 minutes from the school. I know there are people who found places for $550 a month, but the...

   Those of you who are talking about living on campus: I highly recommend NOT doing that!! I live off campus and a) it's A LOT cheaper (as in half the price cheaper) b) it is away from the school/hospital, which trust me you will see enough of. L...

   Haha this is the comment you mentioned! I had to go back several days looking for it, missed it the first time around. =P Thanks for the complement but I beg to differ. One of us went to law school and it wasn't me! (We can continue this debate in...

   I honestly don't remember the time frame very well. Paco might recall better than me. I applied to a bunch of programs so I don't remember specifically when I heard from Stony Brook. I just remember there being an awkward waiting period after a lo...

   For those of you who have not heard yet, don't freak out! Last year rejections went out before acceptances. I remember seeing a bunch of people talking on here about getting a rejection, and I was going through the same panic because I hadn't heard...

   Just to add to this: Something you may not know about SBU's program is that if you fail a class in the 1 year program, or if you tell the program advisor that you're feeling overwhelmed by the program, you can "decelerate" to the 2 year program. Tha...

   Hi Dollface! Coming into this program, I had just completed a BS in biology, so I suppose I am one of the more "science oriented" students in the program (but there is a lot of variety, like I said before). I originally had thought about going to m...

   With regards to a question posted a couple pages back about hospital experience: I'm a classmate of Paco's, and I came into this program with absolutely no hospital experience. I think the only thing I had was about 10 hours of shadowing a physician...

   Hey naa, I also got in and am turning it down, so that's one more spot to give you a chance. Don't give up yet! I would have loved to go but in the end I just couldn't justify the money, and had several nurses tell me where you get your degree does...

11. Stony Brook BSN - Summer/Fall 2011 Applicants

    kmcg11 replied to PacoUSA's topic in New York

    cas don't give up hope! :) I only got my acceptance last week and they only give 10 days to accept or decline, so it's possible that after 10 days people will be declining.

    kmcg11 replied to PacoUSA's topic in New York

    Hi all, I finally hit the "accept" button on the offer for admission (and closed my eyes while doing it). Do we also have to pay the deposit within the 10 day limit after getting the offer?

    Hi everyone, I know I haven't posted on here before, but I have also been waiting for a decision and haven't heard anything. I just called UVM (today) and asked whether decisions have been sent out yet. The woman I spoke to said "That process is und...

    Hi everyone, been following this thread for a while but only just signed up. I was accepted to Columbia but I'm still in my deciding phase since the cost is crazy and scary. I see I'm not the only one alarmed by this though! Does anyone know the e...
