    Stony Brook BSN - Summer/Fall 2011 Applicants

    KJM-RN replied to PacoUSA's topic in New York Nursing

    Congratulations to everyone that is getting in!!! I still feel that there is not much rhyme or reason to how they decide who gets in though. I had a 4.0 gpa, over 200 hours of volunteering at Stony...

    KJM-RN replied to divineintervention's topic in New York Nursing

    I was wondering the same thing because when I attended the info session they said the same thing. He also said that last year the gpa cut off was 3.6 (not sure if he meant everyone with a 3.6 got in,...

    KJM-RN replied to PacoUSA's topic in New York Nursing

    In regards to Suffolk, according to their info sessions, they look at the 4pre-reqs and start with the people with all A's in them and then fill the spots from there, but who really knows. I didn't...

    KJM-RN replied to PacoUSA's topic in New York Nursing

    Did you receive an email saying that decisions have been made? I just received one this morning. It's probably a good thing if you haven't heard yet, could mean you're accepted or waitlisted, since...

    KJM-RN replied to PacoUSA's topic in New York Nursing

    The last thing I am doing is giving up my dream of nursing. Stony Brook is not the only way to become a nurse (just a good way :) ) I did find it strange that just yesterday morning I was told...

    KJM-RN replied to PacoUSA's topic in New York Nursing

    Unfortunately for me, A's don't get you in. I have an A in every class and I was rejected. Along with my other stuff I already mentioned to support my A's. There was absolutely nothing else I could...

    KJM-RN replied to PacoUSA's topic in New York Nursing

    KJM-RN replied to digoe74's topic in New York Nursing

    Not everyone has to take chemistry as a pre-req for a&p 1. If you took it in high school and did well than you don't have to and you can jump right into a&p 1. Check with the advisement office...
