Hi everyone! Looks like they're calling based on track (just guessing since I heard before the other posters and was in med/surg)...but I decided to turn down the opportunity. Wasn't ready to make such a life-changing decision in such a short period of time Best of luck to all of you, and I hope to meet you at CCMC one day! (PS when I received my offer, I was told by the director that 32 residents will be employed between all three tracks this year).

Hi everyone, I too have just graduated from the BBP program at Stony Brook...and am actually the person YourLocalAsian was referring to when he said that classmates had received a spot in the program the day before orientation began! I did not receive a call until late August! If you are on the Alternate List, my advice to you would be to stay positive and keep the School of Nursing informed in terms of pre-req completion and grades for any spring/summer semester courses that may be outstanding. Keep your heads up, because the list does move and you just might get a seat! Good luck!

Congratulations again! That is so exciting. I have until close of business (5PM) CST tomorrow!

@Cmyrha77, congrats to you too. I was shocked at how quickly the phone call came, and at how little time they give to make your decision! This is a big deal for me, as I am deliberating whether to relocate from the northeast to Fort Worth for the position.

Hi everyone! I just came across this thread; I had interviewed for the Med Surg/ Subspecialty track on 7/11, and received a phone call with an offer for a spot in the residency yesterday at around 2PM EST, followed by an email containing salary & benefits information. So, if you haven't heard yet hang tight because calls are going out! Good luck!!

Hey guys just writing in this thread to tell you not to get discouraged! I'm currently in the first year of the program, and was actually on the Alternate list. TWO DAYS before orientation (in August), I received the phone call I'd been hoping for since April...I was in! My GPA was only a 3.09 in my first degree. Strong personal statements and recommendations go a long way for the admissions committee, and make sure to do your best on interview day! Good luck!

@Nurse0287 The university sets aside a number spaces in the undergraduate on-campus (West Apartments) apartments for nursing students. Because this is their policy, and by the time I had requested housing (naturally) all of the spaces in West had been filled, I reached out to one of the higher-ups in the Campus Residences office, and was able to secure a spot in one of the dorms on campus.

Hey guys. I'm currently in the first year of the 2-year program...I had applied to both the Accelerated and 2-year. Interviewed for both programs, rejected from 1 year and waitlisted for the 2 year. I did not receive word that I had been accepted until 2 DAYS PRIOR to orientation! (Called on a Tuesday, with orientation starting that Thursday!) People DO get called off of the Alternate List, so try to stay positive. I would stay in contact with the school of nursing, and be sure to send them transcripts if you have any outstanding pre-reqs on your application. It can only help. Best of luck guys!

Hey @Blue-moon, if you're not going to remain on the Alternate's List, please make sure you let the School of Nursing know! Best of luck to you at Molloy!

Haven't heard either way, I interviewed October 28th.

This makes me happy but also upsets me because if they're still interviewing people, they haven't made any decisions yet which means even more waitingggg

Wow, really!? Congrats NueroLK! When is your interview?

The wait is slowly but surely getting to me too! After looking back at previous class's threads, I'm getting nervous that we'll receive an email telling us that the notification timeline has been pushed back. But, I'm hoping that the interview process will somehow help speed the process of making admissions decisions up, rather than slow it down. Is that possible?

The minimum for acceptance at Stony Brook, according to their website, is a 2.8 cumulative GPA. This is actually the lowest that I have seen, as most programs state on their websites that only applicants with GPAs of at least 3.0 will be competitive for admission. However, I have also gathered that SBU is very holistic in how they review their applicant pool, so I think that if there is a program out there that will accept an applicant with a GPA >3.0 (but who shines in almost every other way possible), then it would be Stony Brook. Just my two cents!

Just out of curiosity, was anyone on the forum also in the 8AM interview group on Monday, October 28th?!
